Abstract
Oncolytic viruses as cancer therapy Oncolytic viruses, either natural or engineered, preferentially infect and lyse tumour cells. David Kirn and colleagues now report a phase I clinical trial in which they demonstrate systemic delivery of the engineered oncolytic virus JX-594 selectively to tumour tissue after a single injection. Tumour biopsies indicate that the virus replicates in cancer but not in adjacent normal tissue. JX-594 is engineered to replicate in a broad spectrum of cancer cells harbouring activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor/Ras pathway. Although the trial was not designed to demonstrate clinical efficacy, the results suggest that JX-594 may elicit a clinical response in some patients.
