Abstract
Description
[Technical Field] 【0001】 This invention relates to oncolytic immunotherapy agents and the use of oncolytic immunotherapy agents in the treatment of cancer. [Background technology] 【0002】 Viruses possess an inherent ability to invade cells with high efficiency. After entering a cell, viral genes are expressed and the virus replicates. This typically results in the death of the infected cell and, upon death, the release of the cell's antigenic components as the cell ruptures. As a result, virus-mediated cell death tends to trigger an immune response against these cellular components, including both those derived from the host cell and those encoded or incorporated by the virus itself. The immune response is also amplified by the host's recognition of so-called damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which assist in the activation of the immune response. 【0003】 Viruses also engage with various mediators of the innate immune response as part of the host response to recognition of viral infection through Toll-like receptors, cGAS / STING signaling, and recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which result in activation and inflammation of the interferon response, which is also an immunogenic signal to the host. These immune responses can provide immunogenic benefits to cancer patients, such as an immune response to tumor antigens providing a systemic overall benefit that leads to the treatment of non-virus-infected tumors, including micrometastatic disease, and providing vaccination against relapse. 【0004】 The direct ("oncolytic") effect of a combination of viruses, and the immune response to tumor antigens (including non-self "neoantigens," i.e., derived from specific mutant genes in individual tumors), is called "oncolytic immunotherapy." 【0005】 Viruses can also be used as delivery vehicles ("vectors") to express heterologous genes inserted into the viral genome in infected cells. These properties make viruses useful in a variety of biotechnological and medical applications. For example, viruses that express heterologous therapeutic genes can be used in gene therapy. In relation to oncolytic immunotherapy, the delivered genes may include genes encoding specific tumor antigens, genes intended to induce an immune response after viral replication and cell death or to increase the immunogenicity of released antigens, genes intended to form the generated immune response, genes to increase the general immune activation state of the tumor, or genes to increase the direct oncolytic properties (i.e., cytotoxic effects) of the virus. Importantly, viruses have the ability to deliver encoded molecules intended to help directly and selectively initiate, amplify, or form a systemic antitumor immune response in a tumor. This could have benefits such as reduced toxicity, or, compared to systemic administration of these same molecules targeting the same pathway or other molecules, the ability to concentrate beneficial effects on tumors (including those not infected with the virus) rather than off-target effects in normal (i.e., non-cancerous) tissues. 【0006】 For example, numerous viruses, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), have been demonstrated to be useful in cancer oncolytic treatment. HSV for use in cancer oncolytic treatment must be inactivated so that it can invade and kill tumor cells, even though it is no longer pathogenic. Numerous inactivation mutations for HSV have been identified, including disruption of genes encoding ICP34.5, ICP6, and / or thymidine kinase. These do not prevent the virus from replicating in tumor tissue in culture or in vivo, but they do prevent significant replication in normal tissue. HSV with only the ICP34.5 gene disrupted replicates in many tumor cell types in vitro and, in mouse tumor models, selectively replicates in tumor tissue but not in surrounding tissue. Clinical trials of deleted ICP34.5, or deleted ICP34.5 and ICP6, HSV have also demonstrated safety and selective replication in human tumor tissue. 【0007】 As discussed above, oncolytic viruses such as HSV can also be used to deliver therapeutic genes in cancer treatment. A virus of this type, further deleting ICP47 and specifically ICP34.5 which encodes a heterologous gene for GM-CSF, has also been tested in clinical trials, including a Phase 3 trial in melanoma, demonstrating safety and efficacy in humans. Trial data showed that tumor responses were observed in injected tumors and to a lesser extent in uninjected tumors. Responses tended to be highly durable (several months to several years), and survival benefits appeared to be achieved in responding patients. Each of these demonstrated the involvement of the immune system in cancer treatment, in addition to direct oncolytic effects. However, this and other data regarding oncolytic viruses generally indicate that not all tumors respond to treatment, and not all patients achieve survival benefits. Consequently, improvements to this technique of oncolytic therapy are clearly needed. These could help increase the direct oncolytic effect of the therapy, the anti-tumor immunostimulatory effect of the treatment, or both of these effects together. 【0008】 In recent years, oncolytic immunotherapy has been shown to produce additive or synergistic therapeutic effects when combined with immune checkpoint blockade (i.e., inhibition or "antagonism" of immune checkpoint pathways), also known as immune co-inhibitory pathway blockade. Checkpoint (immunoinhibitory pathway) blockade is typically intended to block host immunosuppressive mechanisms that help prevent the development of autoimmunity. However, in cancer patients, these mechanisms may also help inhibit or block the induction of potentially beneficial effects of any immune response induced by the tumor. Alternatively, the immune response may not be fully enhanced due to a lack of activation or a lack of complete activation of the immune enhancement pathway. Therefore, drugs that mitigate these blockades (inhibit "immune co-inhibitory pathways") or stimulate immune enhancement pathways (i.e., activate or "agonize" "immune co-stimulatory pathways") are attractive for the testing and development of cancer treatments. Such approved or experimental drug targets include CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, LAG-3, TIM-3, VISTA, CSF1R, IDO, CEACAM1, GITR, 4-1-BB, KIR, SLAMF7, OX40, CD40, ICOS, or CD47. 【0009】 Many of these approaches targeting or mitigating immune co-inhibitory pathways require a pre-existing immune response to the tumor for success; that is, the pre-existing immune response may be enhanced, or the blockade of the anti-tumor immune response may be mitigated. The presence of an inflammatory tumor microenvironment exhibiting such an ongoing response is also necessary. The pre-existing immune response to tumor neoantigens appears to be particularly important for the activity of immune co-inhibitory pathway blockade and associated drugs. Only some patients may have an ongoing immune response to tumor antigens, including neoantigens and / or an inflammatory tumor microenvironment, both of which are necessary for the optimal activity of these drugs. Therefore, oncolytics that can induce an immune response to tumor antigens, including neoantigens, and / or induce an inflammatory tumor microenvironment are attractive to use in combination with immune co-inhibitory pathway blockades and immunoenhancing agents. This is thought to explain the promising combined antitumor effects of oncolytics and immune co-inhibitory pathway blockade observed in mice and humans to date. 【0010】 The indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway contributes to tumor-induced tolerance by creating a tolerogenic environment in tumors and tumor-discharging lymph nodes, through both direct suppression of T cells and enhancement of local regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated immunosuppression. IDO catalyzes the rate-limiting step in tryptophan degradation along the kynurenine pathway, and both the decrease in local tryptophan concentration and the production of immunomodulatory tryptophan metabolites contribute to the immunosuppressive effect of IDO. IDO is chronically activated in many cancer patients with IDO activation, which correlates with a wider range of diseases. It can also function as an antagonist to other activators of antitumor immunity. Therefore, inhibitors of the IDO pathway are being developed as anticancer agents, particularly in combination with checkpoint blockers, such as those targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, or PDL-1. 【0011】 The above discussion demonstrates that there is still much room for improvement in oncolytic agents and cancer treatments that use them. [Overview of the Initiative] 【0012】 The present invention provides an oncolytic virus expressing a fusion-inducible protein and at least one immunostimulatory molecule. The oncolytic virus of the present invention provides an improved direct oncolytic effect, improved viral replication and transmission in tumors, mediated by the fusion-inducible protein, which (i) increases the amount of tumor antigens, including neoantigens, released for induction of an antitumor immune response, and (ii) enhances the expression of the immunostimulatory molecule encoded by the virus. The expression of the immunostimulatory molecule further increases and enhances the antitumor immune effect. The antitumor efficacy is improved when the oncolytic virus of the present invention is used as a single agent, and when the virus is used in combination with other anticancer modalities, such as chemotherapy, targeted drug treatment, radiation, immune checkpoint blockade and / or immunoenhancing agents. 【0013】 Accordingly, the present invention provides an oncolytic virus comprising (i) a gene encoding a fusion-inducible protein and (ii) a gene encoding an immunostimulatory molecule. The virus may encode one or more fusion-inducible proteins and / or one or more immunostimulatory molecules. 【0014】 The fusion-inducible protein is preferably a glycoprotein derived from gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) with a mutated or removed R transmembrane peptide (GALV-R-). The immunostimulatory molecule is preferably an agonist of an immunocostimulatory pathway such as GM-CSF and / or GITRL, 4-1-BBL, OX40L, ICOSL, or CD40L, or a modified version thereof. Examples of modified versions include agonists of the costimulatory pathway that are secreted rather than membrane-bound, and / or agonists modified to form protein polymers. The immunostimulatory molecule may be a protein capable of blocking CTLA-4-mediated signaling, such as an antibody or fragment thereof that binds to CTLA-4. 【0015】 The virus can be a modified clinical isolate, such as a modified clinical isolate of a virus, and the clinical isolate causes two or more tumor cell lines to die more rapidly and / or at lower doses in vitro than one or more reference clinical isolates of the same virus. 【0016】 The virus is preferably a herpes simplex virus (HSV), such as HSV1. HSV typically does not express functional ICP34.5 and / or functional ICP47, and / or expresses the US11 gene as a pre-early gene. 【0017】 The present invention also provides the following: - A pharmaceutical composition comprising the virus of the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, - The virus of the present invention for use in a method of treating the human or animal body by therapy, - The virus of the present invention for use in a method of treating cancer, the method optionally including administering a further anti-cancer agent, - A product comprising the virus of the present invention in a sterile vial, ampoule or syringe, - A method of treating cancer comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the virus or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention to a patient in need thereof, the method optionally including administering a further anti-cancer agent, wherein the anti-cancer agent is optionally an antagonist of an immune co-inhibitory pathway or an agonist of an immune co-stimulatory pathway, - Use of the virus of the present invention in the manufacture of a medicament for use in a method of treating cancer, the method optionally including administering a further anti-cancer agent, wherein the anti-cancer agent is optionally an antagonist of an immune co-inhibitory pathway or an agonist of an immune co-stimulatory pathway, - A method of treating cancer comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a oncolytic virus, an inhibitor of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway and a further antagonist of an immune co-inhibitory pathway or an agonist of an immune co-stimulatory pathway to a patient in need thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 【0018】 [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows the structure of an exemplary virus of the present invention, including a gene encoding GALV-R- and a gene encoding GM-CSF inserted at the ICP34.5 locus, with the ICP47 gene deleted so that the US11 gene is under the regulation of the ICP47 pre-initial promoter. Figure 1 also shows similar viruses expressing only the gene encoding GALV-R (second panel) or only the gene encoding GM-CSF (third panel). Furthermore, viruses are shown in which the ICP34.5 and ICP47 genes are deleted but the inserted genes are not present. [Figure 2] This figure shows the structure of an exemplary virus of the present invention, which includes a gene encoding GALV-R-, a gene encoding GM-CSF, and a gene encoding CD40L. [Figure 3]Figure 3 shows the different capabilities of eight top-ranked HSV1 clinical isolates in killing Fadu, SK-mel-28, A549, HT1080, MIA-PA-CA-2, HT29, and MDA-MB-231 human tumor cell lines, as evaluated by crystal violet staining 24 or 48 hours after infection, with MOIs of 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001 as shown in the figure. The first and second ranked viral strains for each cell line are shown. Virus RH018A was ranked first for each of the Fadu, HT1080, MIA-PA-CA-2, and HT29 cell lines, and second for each of the SK-mel-28, A549, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. RH004A was ranked 1st for both RH018A and RH015A for the HT29 cell line, 1st for both SK-mel-28 and A549 cell lines, and 2nd for the Fadu cell line. RH023A was ranked 1st for the MDA-MB-231 cell line and 2nd for the HT1080 cell line. RH031A was ranked 2nd for both the MIA-PA-CA-2 and HT29 cell lines. RH040A was ranked 2nd for both HT29 cell lines. [Figure 4] This figure compares the RH018A strain, the highest-ranked strain among all strains tested, with the "average" strain from screening (i.e., the RH065A strain). As shown by crystal violet staining 24 or 48 hours after infection with MOIs of 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 in the SK-mel-28, HT1080, MDA-MB-231, Fadu, MIA-PA-CA-2, and A549 cell lines, the RH018A strain required approximately 10 times less cells to kill the same percentage of cells than the RH065A strain. [Figure 5-1]This figure shows the structure of an HSV1 virus modified by deletions of ICP34.5 and ICP47, in which the US11 gene is under the regulation of the ICP457 pre-initial promoter and a heterologous gene is included at the ICP34.5 locus. Unless otherwise noted in the figure, the virus was constructed using the RH018A strain. [Figure 5-2] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-3] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-4] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-5] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-6] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-7] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-8] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-9] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-10] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 5-11] This is a continuation of Figure 5-1. [Figure 6] This figure shows the results of an ELISA to detect the expression of human or mouse GM-CSF in the supernatant from BHK cells infected with virus 16 (mGM-CSF and GALVR-), virus 17 (hGM-CSF and GALVR-), and virus 19 (mGM-CSF). [Figure 7-1] This figure shows a comparison of the cell-killing abilities of the RH018A strain (virus 10), which lacks ICP34.5 and expresses GALVR- and GFP, and the virus expressing only GFP (virus 12), as determined by crystal violet staining in three cell lines at low magnification. [Figure 7-2] This is a continuation of Figure 7-1. [Figure 8-1] This figure shows a comparison of the cell-killing ability of the RH018A strain (virus 17), which is deleting ICP34.5 and ICP47 and expressing GALVR- and GM-CSF, and a conventional strain with the same modification, as determined by crystal violet staining in four cell lines. [Figure 8-2] This is a continuation of Figure 8-1. [Figure 9] This figure shows the efficacy of virus 16 (deleting ICP34.5 and ICP47 and expressing GALVR- and mGM-CSF) in treating mice with A20 lymphoma tumors on both sides. The virus or vehicle was injected into the tumor on the right side, and the effect on tumor size was observed for 30 days. The virus was effective against both injected and uninjected tumors. [Figure 10] This figure demonstrates the effects of virus 15 (deleting ICP34.5 and ICP47 and expressing GALVR- and GFP) and virus 24 (deleting ICP34.5 and ICP47 and expressing GFP) on rat 9L cells in vitro, as evaluated by crystal violet staining. The GALV-expressing virus (virus 15) showed increased rat 9L cell death in vitro compared to the GALV-non-expressing virus (virus 24). [Figure 11-1]This figure shows the antitumor effect of virus 16 in Balb / c mice with mouse CT26 tumors on both the left and right sides of the body. Next, groups of 10 mice were treated as follows: vehicle (injected into the right lateral tumor three times every other day), 5 × 10⁶ pfu of virus 16 (mRP1) injected into the right lateral tumor every other day, anti-mouse PD1 alone (10 mg / kg, intraperitoneal, every 3 days, BioXCell clone RMP1-14), anti-mouse CTLA-4 (3 mg / kg, intraperitoneal, every 3 days, BioXCell clone 9D9), virus 16 with anti-mouse PD1, virus 16 with anti-mouse CTLA4, 1-methyltryptophan (trypotophan) (I-MT, IDO inhibitor (5 mg / ml in drinking water)), 1-methyltryptophan with anti-mouse PD1, or 1-methyltryptophan and virus 16 with anti-mouse PD1. The effect on tumor size was observed for a further 30 days. Animals treated with a combination of virus and checkpoint blockade showed greater tumor reduction than single-treatment groups. Figure 11A shows that the combination of virus 16 and anti-PD1 has a superior antitumor effect compared to either anti-PD1 or virus alone. Figure 11B shows that the antitumor effect of virus 16 in combination with anti-CTLA-4 is better than the antitumor effect of either virus 16 or anti-CTLA-4 alone. Figure 11C shows that enhanced tumor reduction was observed using both anti-PD1 and IDO inhibition along with virus 16 compared to anti-PD1 and 1-MT inhibition in the absence of virus. [Figure 11-2] This is a continuation of Figure 11-1. [Figure 11-3] This is a continuation of Figure 11-1. [Figure 12-1] This figure shows the enhanced antitumor activity of virus 16 in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in mouse A20 tumors on both sides of Balb / c mice, compared to virus alone or checkpoint blockade alone (anti-PD1). [Figure 12-2] This is a continuation of Figure 12-1. [Figure 12-3] This is a continuation of Figure 12-1. [Figure 12-4] This is a continuation of Figure 12-1. [Figure 13] This figure shows the structures of ICP34.5 and ICP47 deletion viruses expressing GALVR-, GM-CSF, and codon-optimized anti-mouse or anti-human CTLA-4 antibody constructs (secreted scFv molecules linked to the human or mouse IgG1 Fc region). The scFv contains linked ([G4S]3) light and heavy variable chains derived from antibody 9D9 (US2011044953: mouse version) and ipilimumab (US20150283234, human version). The structure of the resulting CTLA-4 inhibitor is also shown. [Figure 14] This figure shows the antitumor effects of virus 16 and virus 19 in a human xenograft model (A549). Virus 16, virus 19, or the vehicle was injected three times over one week at three different dose levels (N=10 / group). The dose of the virus used is indicated. The antitumor effect of GALV-expressing virus 16 was better than that of GALV-nonexpressing virus 19. [Figure 15] This figure shows the effect of the virus of the present invention expressing GALVR- on 9L cells in the lateral surface of Fischer 344 rats. The following treatments were administered to groups of rats (10 rats per group) to one lateral surface of each rat only three times a week for three weeks: 50 μl vehicle, 50 μl of 107 pfu / ml of virus 19 (expressing mGM-CSF but not GALV R-), or 50 μl of 107 pfu / ml of virus 16 (expressing both mouse GM-CSF and GALV-R-). The effect on tumor growth was then observed for a further 30 days. Superior tumor control and reduction were observed with the virus expressing both GM-CSF and GALV-R- compared with the virus expressing GM-CSF alone. [Figure 16] This figure shows the antitumor effects of viruses expressing anti-mCTLA-4 (virus 27), mCD40L (virus 32), mOX4OL (virus 35), and m4-2BBL (virus 33), each of which also possesses mGM-CSF and GALV-R-, compared to virus 16 (which expresses GALV and mGM-CSF).

Oncolytic viruses are viruses that infect and replicate in tumor cells, thereby killing them. Therefore, the virus of the present invention is replicable. Preferably, the virus is selectively replicable in tumor tissue. A virus is selectively replicable in tumor tissue if it replicates more effectively in tumor tissue than in non-tumor tissue. The ability of a virus to replicate in different tissue types can be determined using standard techniques in the art. 【0021】 The oncolytic effect depends on the virus replicating and killing the initially infected cells, and on the progeny virions that continue to infect and kill other tumor cells, resulting in proliferation within the tumor. Therefore, the ability of the virus of this invention to effectively kill tumor cells and proliferate within the tumor results in an optimal direct antitumor effect. Furthermore, the lysis of tumor cells accompanied by efficient proliferation and viral replication maximizes the amount of tumor antigen released, and therefore maximizes the potency of the induced antitumor immune response. 【0022】 The viruses of the present invention may be any virus having these characteristics, such as herpesviruses, poxviruses, adenoviruses, retroviruses, rhabdoviruses, paramyxoviruses, or reoviruses, or any species or strain within the larger group thereof. The viruses of the present invention may be wild-type (i.e., unmodified from the parent virus species) or may have gene disruption or gene addition. Which of these is the case depends on the virus species used. Preferably, the virus is a herpesvirus species, more preferably an HSV strain including HSV1 and HSV2 strains, and most preferably an HSV1 strain. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the viruses of the present invention are based on clinical isolates of the virus species used. Clinical isolates may be selected based on having characteristics that are particularly advantageous for cancer treatment. 【0023】 Clinical isolates may exhibit remarkably good antitumor effects compared to other strains of the same virus isolated from other patients, where the patient is the individual possessing the virus species under test. Virus strains used for comparison to identify useful viruses in this invention may be isolated from patients or otherwise healthy volunteers (i.e., those not possessing the virus species under test), preferably otherwise healthy volunteers. The HSV1 strain used to identify the virus in this invention is typically isolated from cold sores of individuals possessing HSV1, typically by swabbing using, for example, a Virocult (Sigma) brand swab / container containing a transport medium, and subsequently transported to a facility for further testing. 【0024】 After isolating the virus to be compared from an individual, a virus stock is typically prepared by growing the isolated virus, for example, on BHK cells or Vero cells. Preferably, this is done after three or fewer freeze-thaw cycles between taking the sample and growing it, for example, on BHK or Vero cells, in order to prepare a virus stock for further use. More preferably, the virus sample has undergone two or fewer freeze-thaw cycles, more preferably one freeze-thaw cycle, and most preferably no freeze-thaw cycles, before preparing a stock for further use. Lysates derived from cell lines infected with the virus thus prepared after isolation are typically compared by testing the virus's ability to kill tumor cell lines in vitro. Alternatively, the virus stock can be stored under appropriate conditions, for example, by freezing, before testing. The virus of the present invention may have remarkably good antitumor effects compared to other strains of the same virus isolated from other individuals, preferably from more than five individuals, more preferably from more than ten other individuals, and most preferably from more than 20 other individuals. 【0025】 A stock of clinical isolates identified as viruses for modification to produce the viruses of the present invention (i.e., having remarkably good properties for killing tumor cells compared to other viral strains with which they were compared) may be stored under appropriate conditions before and after modification and may be used to generate further stocks as needed. 【0026】 A clinical isolate is a strain of the virus species isolated from its natural host. The clinical isolate is preferably isolated for the purpose of testing and comparing it with other clinical isolates of the same virus species for desired properties, particularly its ability to kill human tumor cells. Clinical isolates that may be used for comparison may also include those present in a clinical repository, i.e., those previously recovered from clinical samples for clinical diagnosis or other purposes. In any case, the clinical isolates used for the comparison and identification of the viruses of the present invention are preferably subjected to minimal in vitro culture before being tested for desired properties, and preferably only cultured to produce sufficient stock for comparative testing purposes. Thus, the viruses used for comparison to identify the viruses of the present invention may also include deposited strains, where the deposited strain is isolated from a patient, preferably an HSV1 strain isolated from a patient's oral herpes. 【0027】 The virus may be a modified clinical isolate, where the clinical isolate kills two or more tumor cell lines more rapidly and / or at lower doses in vitro than one or more reference clinical isolates of the same type of virus. Typically, the clinical isolate kills two or more tumor cell lines within 72 hours, preferably within 48 hours, and more preferably within 24 hours of infection, with an infection multiplicity (MOI) of 0.1 or less, preferably 0.01 or less, and more preferably 0.001 or less. Preferably, the clinical isolate kills 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or for example all, of a wide range of tumor cell lines, such as the following human tumor cell lines: U87MG (glioma), HT29 (colorectal), LNCaP (prostate), MDA-MB-231 (breast), SK-MEL-28 (melanoma), Fadu (squamous cell carcinoma), MCF7 (breast), A549 (lung), MIAPACA-2 (pancreas), CAPAN-1 (pancreas), and HT1080 (fibrosarcoma). 【0028】 Therefore, the virus of the present invention can kill cells from two or more different types of tumors, for example, three, four, five, six, or seven or more solid tumors, and the above cells include, but are not limited to, colorectal tumor cells, prostate tumor cells, breast tumor cells, ovarian tumor cells, melanoma cells, squamous cell carcinoma cells, lung tumor cells, pancreatic tumor cells, sarcoma cells and / or fibrosarcoma cells. 【0029】 The elimination of tumor cell lines can be determined by any suitable method. Typically, a sample is first isolated from a patient, preferably from herpes simplex in the case of HSV1, and used to infect another suitable cell line, such as BHK cells or Vero cells. Positive samples are typically identified by the presence of cytopathic effects (CPE) 24–72 hours post-infection, for example, 48 hours post-infection, and confirmed to be the target viral species by immunohistochemistry or PCR, for example. A viral stock is then generated from the positive samples. Samples from the viral stock are typically tested and compared to other samples similarly generated using swabs from different patients. Testing can be performed by determining a range of multiples of infection (MOI) and the level of CPE achieved at various time points post-infection. 【0030】 For example, an 80% confluent cell line can be infected with a viral sample at MOIs of 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001, and the dual plates can be incubated for 24 and 48 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2, after which the degree of viral cell death can be determined. This can be determined, for example, by fixing the cells with glutaraldehyde and staining them with crystal violet using standard methods. The level of cell lysis can then be evaluated by standard methods such as macroscopic observation, microscopy (cell counting), and photography. This method can be repeated with incubated cells for shorter periods, e.g., 8, 12, or 16 hours, or longer periods, e.g., 72 hours, or with additional MOIs such as less than 0.0001, before cell death is determined. 【0031】 Growth curve experiments can also be performed to evaluate the ability of different clinical isolates to replicate in tumor cell lines in vitro. For example, 80% confluent cell lines are infected with viral samples at MOIs of 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001, incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2, and the cells are lysed by freeze / thaw typically 0, 8, 16, 24, and 48 hours after infection, after which the degree of viral cell death is determined. This can be determined, for example, by assessing viral titer by a standard plaque assay. 【0032】 The clinical isolates of the present invention can kill infected tumor cell lines more rapidly and / or at a lower MOI than other clinical isolates it is compared with, preferably 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 or more other clinical isolates of the same virus species. The clinical isolates of the present invention typically kill tumor cells present at a particular MOI and time point at a rate 10%, 25%, or 50% higher than at least one, preferably 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 or more other clinical isolates of the same virus type compared at the same MOI and time point. The clinical isolates of the present invention typically kill the same or a greater proportion of tumor cells at an MOI that is half or less than half of the MOI at which one or more, preferably 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 15 or more other clinical isolates of the same virus species used for comparison at the same time point, typically 12, 24, and / or 48 hours, kill the same proportion of tumor cells. Preferably, the clinical isolates of the present invention typically kill the same or a greater proportion of tumor cells at an MOI 5 or 10 times lower than the MOI at which one or more other clinical isolates of the same viral species used for comparison at the same time point, typically 12, 24, and / or 48 hours, preferably 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, or 15 or more, kill the same proportion of tumor cells. The improved tumor cell killing ability of the viruses of the present invention is typically achieved compared to at least 50%, 75%, or 90% of other clinical isolates of the same viral species used for comparison. The viruses are preferably compared to at least four other viral strains of the same species, e.g., 7, 9, 19, 39, or 49 other viral strains. 【0033】 The isolated strains can be tested, for example, in batches of 4 to 8 virus strains at a time, on 4 to 8 tumor cell lines at a time. For each batch of the experiment, the degree of cell death achieved is ranked for each cell line from best (i.e., minimum viable cells / MOI at each time point) to worst (i.e., maximum viable cells / MOI at each time point) among the viruses compared in that experiment. The virus strain from each experiment that shows the best results across the entire range of tumor cell lines tested (i.e., consistently ranked as one of the best in killing cell lines) is then directly compared in further experiments using other clinical isolates and / or other tumor cell lines, and the best virus strain overall may be identified among more than 20 sampled virus strains. The virus ranked as the best overall is the virus of the present invention. 【0034】 In a preferred embodiment, the virus of the present invention is a strain selected from the following: RH018A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121904, RH004A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121902, RH031A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121907, RH040B shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121908, RH015A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121903, RH021A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121905, RH023A strain with provisional accession number ECCAC16121906, and RH047A strain with provisional accession number ECCAC16121909. 【0035】 More preferably, the virus of the present invention is a strain selected from the following: RH018A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121904, RH004A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121902, RH031A shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121907, RH040B shares with provisional accession number ECCAC16121908, and RH015A strain with provisional accession number ECCAC16121903. 【0036】 Most preferably, the virus of the present invention is the RH018A strain having accession number EACC16121904. 【0037】 The HSV of the present invention can selectively replicate in tumors, such as human tumors. Typically, the HSV replicates efficiently in target tumors but not efficiently in non-tumor tissues. This HSV may contain one or more mutations in one or more viral genes that inhibit replication in normal tissues but still allow replication in tumors. The mutations may be, for example, mutations that, when mediated by the HSV, inhibit the expression of functional ICP34.5, ICP6, and / or thymidine kinases. 【0038】 In one preferred embodiment, the gene encoding ICP34.5 is mutated to confer selective oncolytic activity to HSV. Mutations of the gene encoding ICP34.5 that prevent the expression of functional ICP34.5 are described by reference in Chou et al. (1990) Science 250:1262-1266, Maclean et al. (1991) J. Gen. Virol. 72:631-639 and Liu et al. (2003) Gene Therapy 10:292-303, which are incorporated herein by reference. The gene encoding ICP6 and / or the gene encoding thymidine kinase may also be inactivated, as with the other genes, as such inactivation does not interfere with viral infection or replication within the tumor. 【0039】 HSV may contain further mutations that enhance HSV replication in tumors. The enhancement resulting from viral replication in tumors not only leads to direct "oncolytic" tumor cell death by the virus, but also enhances the level of heterologous gene expression (i.e., genes inserted into the virus, which in the case of the virus of this invention encodes fusion-inducible proteins and immunomodulatory molecules), increasing the amount of tumor antigen released when tumor cells are killed. Both of these can also improve the immunogenic properties of the treatment for cancer. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, deletion of the gene encoding ICP47 in a manner that places the US11 gene under the regulation of a pre-initial promoter that normally regulates the expression of the gene encoding ICP47 results in enhanced replication in tumors (see Liu et al., 2003, incorporated herein by reference). 【0040】 Other mutations that place the sequence encoding US11, a late-stage HSV gene, under the control of a promoter independent of viral replication can also be introduced into the virus of the present invention. Such mutations enable the expression of US11 before HSV replication occurs, thereby enhancing viral replication in tumors. In particular, such mutations enhance replication in HSV lacking the gene encoding functional ICP34.5. 【0041】 Therefore, in one embodiment, the HSV of the present invention comprises a US11 gene operably linked to a promoter, and the promoter activity is independent of viral replication. The promoter may be a pre-early (IE) promoter or a non-HSV promoter that is active in mammalian, preferably human, tumor cells. The promoter may be a eukaryotic promoter, such as a promoter derived from a mammalian, preferably human, genome. The promoter may be a ubiquitous promoter (such as a β-actin or tubulin promoter) or a cell-specific promoter, such as a tumor-specific promoter. The promoter may be a viral promoter, such as a long-terminal repeat (MMLV LTR) promoter of Moloney mouse leukemia virus or a human or mouse cytomegalovirus (CMV) IE promoter. HSV pre-early (IE) promoters are well known in the art. The HSV IE promoter may be a promoter that drives the expression of ICP0, ICP4, ICP22, ICP27, or ICP47. 【0042】 The genes mentioned above, whose functional inactivation provides tumor-selective properties against viruses, can be made functionally inactive by any suitable method, for example, by deleting or substituting all or part of the gene and / or its regulatory sequence, or by inserting one or more nucleic acids into or in place of the gene and / or its regulatory sequence. For example, the viruses of the present invention can be produced using homologous recombination methods, which are standard in the art. Alternatively, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based approach may be used. 【0043】 As used herein, the term “gene” is intended to mean a nucleotide sequence that codes for a protein, i.e., the coding sequence of a gene. The various genes referred to above can be rendered non-functional by mutation in the gene itself or in a regulatory sequence adjacent to the gene, such as a promoter sequence. Deletions can remove one or more parts of a gene, the entire gene, or the entire gene and all or part of the regulatory sequence. For example, a deletion of just one nucleotide in a gene can result in a frameshift. However, larger deletions can result, such as deletions of at least about 25%, more preferably at least about 50%, of the entire coding sequence and / or non-coding sequence. In one preferred embodiment, a gene is deleted that is in a functionally inactive state. For example, the entire gene and optionally a portion of the adjacent sequence can be removed from the virus. If two or more copies of a gene are present in the viral genome, both copies of the gene are rendered functionally inactive. 【0044】 A gene can be inactivated by substituting other sequences, for example, by substituting all or part of an endogenous gene with a heterologous gene and optionally a promoter sequence. If the promoter sequence is not substituted, the heterologous gene can be inserted so as to be regulated by the promoter of the inactivated gene. In the HSV of the present invention, the gene encoding ICP34.5 is preferably inactivated by inserting a heterologous gene, a promoter sequence operably linked thereto, and optionally other regulatory elements, such as a polyadenylation sequence, into each of the loci encoding ICP34.5. 【0045】 The virus of the present invention is used to express fusion-inducible proteins and immunostimulatory proteins in tumors. This is typically achieved by inserting heterologous genes encoding fusion-inducible proteins and heterologous genes encoding immunostimulatory proteins into the genome of a selectively replicating competent virus, where each gene is regulated by a promoter sequence. Because replication of such a virus occurs selectively in tumor tissue, the expression of fusion-inducible proteins and immunostimulatory proteins by the virus is also enhanced in tumor tissue compared to non-tumor tissue of the body. Enhanced expression occurs when expression is greater in the tumor compared to other tissues of the body. Thus, the present invention offers the benefit of selectively expressing both fusion-inducible proteins and immunostimulatory proteins in tumors, in combination with the antitumor effect provided by oncolytic viral replication. 【0046】 The virus of the present invention may include, in addition to the fusion-inducible protein and the immunostimulatory protein, one or more further heterologous genes, such as further fusion-inducible or immunostimulatory proteins. 【0047】 Fusion-inducible protein The virus of the present invention contains a gene encoding a fusion-inducing protein. The fusion-inducing protein may be any heterologous protein that can promote the fusion of a cell infected with the virus of the present invention into another cell. The fusion-inducing protein, preferably a wild-type or modified viral glycoprotein (i.e., one modified to enhance its fusion-inducing properties), is a protein that can induce intercellular fusion (syncitia formation) in the cell on which it is expressed. Examples of fusion-inducible glycoproteins include glycoproteins derived from VSV-G, syncytin-1 (derived from human endogenous retrovirus-W (HERV-W)) or syncytin-2 (derived from HERVFRDE1), paramyxovirus SV5-F, measles virus-H, measles virus-F, RSV-F, retroviruses or lentiviruses, such as gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV), mouse leukemia virus (MLV), Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV), and equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), in which the R transmembrane peptide has been removed (R-version). In a preferred embodiment, the fusion-inducible protein is derived from GALV and the R peptide has been removed (GALV-R-). 【0048】 The virus of the present invention may contain a gene encoding multiple copies of a fusion-inducible protein, preferably one or two copies. The virus may contain two or more different fusion-inducible proteins, including one of the fusion-inducible proteins listed above. 【0049】 The fusion-inducible protein expressed by the virus of the present invention may be identical to a naturally occurring protein, or it may be a modified protein. 【0050】 Genes encoding fusion-inducible proteins (fusion-inducible genes) may have naturally occurring nucleic acid sequences or modified sequences. The sequences of fusion-inducible genes may be modified, for example, to enhance the fusion-inducible properties of the encoded protein or to provide codon optimization, and therefore to increase the expression efficiency of the encoded protein. 【0051】 immunostimulatory molecules The virus of the present invention comprises one or more immunostimulatory molecules and / or one or more genes encoding immunostimulatory molecules. Immunostimulatory molecules include proteins that can assist in inducing an immune response, proteins that can mitigate inhibitory signals to the induction or efficacy of an immune response, and RNA molecules (e.g., shRNA, antisense RNA, RNAi, or microRNA) that inhibit the expression of immunosuppressive molecules. Examples of immunostimulatory molecules include IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21, IL-24, CD40 ligand, GITR ligand, 4-1-BB ligand, OX40 ligand, ICOS ligand, flt3 ligand, type I interferons including interferon alpha and interferon beta, interferon gamma, type III interferons (IL-28, IL-29), other cytokines such as TNF alpha or GM-CSF, TGF beta, or immune checkpoint antagonists. Immune checkpoint antagonists include antibodies, single-strand antibodies, and RNA1 / siRNA / microRNA / antisense RNA knockdown approaches. Agonists in the immune-enhancing / costimulatory pathway include mutant or wild-type, soluble, secreted, and / or membrane-bound ligands, as well as agonist antibodies, including single-chain antibodies. With regard to targeting immune co-inhibitory or immune co-stimulatory pathways, proteins or other molecules (case-dependent agonists or antagonists) that target CTLA-4 (antagonist), PD-1 (antagonist), PD-L1 (antagonist), LAG-3 (antagonist), TIM-3 (antagonist), VISTA (antagonist), CSF1R (antagonist), IDO (antagonist), CEACAM1 (antagonist), GITR (agonist), 4-1-BB (agonist), KIR (antagonist), SLAMF7 (antagonist), OX40 (agonist), CD40 (agonist), ICOS (agonist), or CD47 (antagonist) are particularly preferred. Therefore, the virus of the present invention preferably encodes one or more of these molecules.More preferably, the virus of the present invention encodes GM-CSF and / or wild-type or modified versions of CD40L, ICOSL, 4-1-BBL, GITRL, or OX40L, most preferably GM-CSF. 【0052】 Inhibitors of co-inhibitory pathways may also be CTLA-4 inhibitors. CTLA-4 inhibitors are typically molecules such as peptides or proteins that bind to CTLA-4 and reduce or block CTLA-4 signaling, such as by reducing activation by B7. By reducing CTLA-4 signaling, inhibitors reduce or eliminate the blockade of the CTLA-4 immune stimulation pathway. 【0053】 CTLA-4 inhibitors are preferably antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments. The term “antibody” as used herein includes the whole antibody and any antigen-binding fragment (i.e., “antigen-binding moiety”) or their single chains. An antibody refers to a glycoprotein or its antigen-binding moiety comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (kappa) (L) chains linked together by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with the antigen. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into highly variable regions called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), which contain more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). The constant region of an antibody can mediate the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. 【0054】 The antibody is typically a monoclonal antibody. The antibody may also be a chimeric antibody. The antibody is preferably a humanized antibody, and more preferably a human antibody. 【0055】 The term “antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that possess the ability to specifically bind to CTLA-4. The antigen-binding fragment also possesses the ability to inhibit CTLA-4 and therefore to reduce or eliminate CTLA-4 blockade in stimulative immune responses. Examples of suitable fragments include Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, Fab' fragments, Fd fragments, Fv fragments, dAb fragments, and isolated complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Single-chain antibodies such as scFv and heavy-chain antibodies such as VHH and camel antibodies are also intended to be included in the term “antigen-binding moiety” of an antibody. In a preferred embodiment, the antibody is scFv. Examples of suitable scFv molecules are disclosed, for example, in WO2007 / 123737 and WO2014 / 066532, which are incorporated herein by reference. scFv may be encoded by the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 34 and SEQ ID NO: 35. 【0056】 The virus of the present invention may encode one or more immunostimulatory molecules, preferably one, two, three, or four immunostimulatory molecules, more preferably one or two immunostimulatory molecules. 【0057】 The sequences of genes encoding immunostimulatory molecules can be codon-optimized to increase the expression levels of each protein in target cells compared to when the unmodified sequences are used. 【0058】 Virus production The viruses of the present invention are constructed using methods well known in the art. For example, a plasmid encoding a packaged viral genome (for smaller viruses and single and multiple genomic component RNA viruses) or BAC (for larger DNA viruses, including herpesviruses) containing genes encoding fusion-inducible molecules and immunostimulatory molecules under appropriate regulatory conditions, constructed by standard molecular biology techniques, and transfected into tolerant cells from which recombinant viruses can be recovered. 【0059】 Alternatively, in a preferred embodiment, a plasmid containing a DNA region adjacent to the intended insertion site may be constructed and then co-transfected with viral genomic DNA into a suitable cell, thereby inducing homologous recombination between the region adjacent to the target insertion site in the plasmid and the same region in the parental virus. The recombinant virus can then be selected and purified by loss or addition of function inserted or deleted by the plasmid used for modification, such as by insertion or deletion of a marker gene such as GFP or lacZ from the parental virus at the intended insertion site. In the most preferred embodiment, the insertion site is the ICP34.5 locus of HSV, and therefore the plasmid used for the operation contains an HSV sequence adjacent to this insertion site, with an expression cassette encoding a fusion-inducible protein and an immunostimulatory molecule between them. In this case, the parental virus may contain a cassette encoding GFP instead of ICP34.5, and the recombinant viral plaque is selected by the loss of GFP expression. In the most preferred embodiment, the US11 gene of HSV is also expressed as an IE gene. This can be achieved via deletion of the ICP47 coding region or by other means. 【0060】 Sequences encoding fusion-inducible proteins and immunomodulatory molecules are inserted into the viral genome under appropriate regulatory conditions. This may be under the regulatory conditions of the native promoter of the viral species used, depending on the species and insertion site, or preferably under the regulation of a heterologous promoter. Suitable heterologous promoters include mammalian promoters such as the IEF2a promoter or the actin promoter. More preferably, potent viral promoters such as the CMV IE promoter, RSV LTR, MMLV LTR, other retroviral LTR promoters, or SV40-derived promoters are preferred. Preferably, each exogenous gene (i.e., encoding a fusion-inducible protein and an immunomodulatory molecule) is under the regulation of a separate promoter, but may also be expressed from a single RNA transcript, for example, by inserting an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) between protein-coding sequences. Each promoter-derived RNA is typically terminated with a polyadenylation sequence (e.g., mammalian sequences such as bovine growth hormone (BGH) poly-A sequence, synthetic polyadenylation sequence, rabbit betaglobin polyadenylation sequence, or viral sequences such as SV40 early or late polyadenylation sequence). 【0061】 The present invention also provides a poxvirus or HSV, preferably HSV1, that expresses at least three heterogenes, each of which is driven by a different promoter selected from the CMV promoter, RSV promoter, EF1a promoter, SV40 promoter, and retroviral LTR promoter. The virus may express, for example, four heterogenes, each of which is driven by a different promoter selected from the CMV promoter, RSV promoter, EF1a promoter, SV40 promoter, and retroviral LTR promoter. The retroviral LTR is preferably derived from MMLV (SEQ ID NO: 43), also known as MoMuLV. The heterogenes may be terminated by polyadenylation sequences. The polyadenylation sequences may be the same or different. Preferably, each heterogene is terminated by different polyadenylation sequences preferably selected from the BGH, SV40, HGH, and RBG polyadenylation sequences. 【0062】 The present invention also provides a poxvirus or HSV, preferably HSV1, that expresses at least three heterogenes, each of which is terminated by a different polyadenylation sequence selected from BGH, SV40, HGH, and RBG polyadenylation sequences. The virus may express, for example, four heterogenes, each terminated by one of the BGH, SV40, HGH, and RBG polyadenylation sequences. 【0063】 Pharmaceutical composition The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a virus and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Suitable carriers and diluents include isotonic salines, such as phosphate-buffered salines. The composition may further contain other components, such as sugars or proteins, to improve properties such as product stability. Alternatively, a lyophilized formulation that is reconstituted in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent before use may be used. 【0064】 Where necessary, the choice of carrier is often a function of the delivery route of the composition. Within the scope of the present invention, compositions can be formulated for any suitable route and means of administration. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents are used for compositions suitable for intratumoral administration, intravenous / intra-arterial administration, administration to the brain, or administration to body cavities (e.g., bladder, thoracic, or peritoneal administration). Compositions can be administered in any suitable form, preferably as a liquid. 【0065】 The present invention also provides a product containing the virus of the present invention in a sterile vial, ampoule, or syringe. 【0066】 Medical use / procedures The present invention provides a virus for use in therapeutic treatment of the human or animal body, particularly for use in methods of treating cancer. Cancer typically exists in mammals, preferably humans. This virus kills infected tumor cells by lysis and by fusing infected tumor cells together. The virus of the present invention also induces a systemic antitumor immune response enhanced by the expression of immunostimulatory molecules that also kill cancer cells. 【0067】 The present invention also provides a method for treating cancer, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the virus of the present invention to an individual in need of it. 【0068】 The present invention further provides the use of the virus in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for treating cancer. 【0069】 The virus of the present invention is particularly useful for the treatment of any solid tumor, including any adenocarcinoma, carcinoma, melanoma, or sarcoma. For example, the virus of the present invention is useful for the treatment of cancers of the head and neck, prostate, breast, ovary, lung, liver, endometrium, bladder, gallbladder, pancreas, colon, kidney, stomach / gastric, esophageal, or cervical cancers, mesothelioma, melanoma, or other skin cancers, lymphoma, glioma, or other cancers of the nervous system, or sarcomas such as soft tissue sarcoma. 【0070】 The virus of the present invention may be used to treat malignant tumors, including tumors that have metastasized from the site of the original tumor. In this embodiment, the virus may be administered to the primary tumor or one or more secondary tumors. 【0071】 The virus of the present invention can be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy (including one or more antagonists of the immune co-inhibitory pathway and / or one or more agonists of the immune costimulatory pathway), and / or in combination with radiotherapy, and / or in combination with any combination thereof. The therapeutic agent is preferably an anticancer agent. 【0072】 The virus of the present invention may be administered in combination with a second virus, such as a second oncolytic virus. 【0073】 For example, therapeutic agents may include immunogens (including recombinant or naturally occurring antigens, including such antigens or combinations of antigens delivered as the DNA or RNA on which they are encoded) to further stimulate an immune response against tumor cells, particularly neoantigens, such as cellular or humoral immune responses. The therapeutic agents may also include agents intended to increase or enhance the immune response, such as cytokines, agents intended to inhibit immune checkpoint pathways or stimulate immune enhancement pathways, or agents that inhibit the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) or myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). 【0074】 The therapeutic agent may be a drug whose use in existing cancer treatment procedures is publicly known. The therapeutic agent may be a radiotherapy agent or a chemotherapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent may be selected from cyclophosphamide, alkylating agents, e.g., cisplatin or melphalan, plant alkaloids and terpenoids, e.g., vincristine or paclitaxel (Taxol), antimetabolites, e.g., 5-fluorouracil, topoisomerase inhibitors of type I or II, e.g., camptothecin or doxorubicin, cytotoxic antibiotics, e.g., actinomycin, anthracyclines, e.g., epirubicin, glucocorticoids, e.g., triamcinolone, inhibitors of protein, DNA and / or RNA synthesis, e.g., methotrexate and dacarbaxine, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, or any other chemotherapeutic agent. 【0075】 The therapeutic agent may be one or a combination of the following: an immunotherapeutic agent or immunomodulator, e.g., a TLR agonist; an agent that downregulates T regulatory cells, e.g., cyclophosphamide; or an agent designed to block immune checkpoints or stimulate immune enhancement pathways, e.g., but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, e.g., CTLA-4 inhibitors, PD-1 inhibitors, PD-L1 inhibitors, LAG-3 inhibitors, TIM-3 inhibitors, VISTA inhibitors, CSF1R inhibitors, IDO inhibitors, CEACAM1 inhibitors, GITR agonists, 4-1-BB agonists, KIR inhibitors, SLAMF7 inhibitors, OX40 agonists, CD40 agonists, ICOS agonists, or CD47 inhibitors. In a preferred embodiment, the therapeutic agent is a CTLA-4 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-CTLA-4 antibody; a PD1 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody; or a PD-L1 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibody. Such inhibitors, agonists, and antibodies can be produced and tested by standard methods known in the art. 【0076】 Immunotherapy agents may also include bispecific antibodies, dendritic cell-based cell-based therapies, NK cells or engineered T cells, such as CAR-T cells or engineered T cells expressing T cell receptors. Immunotherapy agents may also include agents that target specific gene mutations occurring in tumors, agents intended to induce an immune response to specific tumor antigens or combinations of tumor antigens, such as neoantigens, and / or agents intended to activate the STING / cGAS pathway, TLR or other innate immune responses and / or inflammatory pathways, such as intratumor agents. 【0077】 For example, the virus of the present invention may be used in combination with dacarbazine, a BRAF inhibitor and / or a CTLA-4, PD1 or PD-L1 blocker to treat melanoma; in combination with Taxol, doxorubicin, vinorelbine, cyclophosphamide and / or gemcitabine to treat breast cancer; in combination with 5-fluorouracil and optionally leucovorin, irinotecan and / or oxaliplatin to treat colorectal cancer; in combination with Taxol, carboplatin, vinorelbine and / or gemcitabine, PD-1 or PD-L1 blocker to treat lung cancer; and in combination with cisplatin and / or radiotherapy to treat head and neck cancer. 【0078】 Therapeutic agents may include inhibitors of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway. Examples of IDO inhibitors include epcadostat (INCB024360), 1-methyl-tryptophan, indoximod (1-methyl-D-tryptophan), GDC-0919, or F001287. 【0079】 The mechanism of action of IDO in suppressing antitumor immune responses can also suppress immune responses that arise after oncolytic virus therapy. IDO expression is induced by Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation and interferon-γ, both of which can result from oncolytic virus infection. One embodiment of the use of oncolytic virus therapy for cancer treatment involves a combination of an oncolytic virus, including a virus expressing an immunostimulatory protein and / or a fusion-inducible protein, an inhibitor of the IDO pathway, and optionally one or more further antagonists of immune co-inhibitory pathways, including those targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, and / or PD-L1, and / or one or more agonists of immune costimulatory pathways. 【0080】 The present invention also provides a method for treating cancer, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of oncolytic virus, an inhibitor of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway, a further antagonist of an immunoco-inhibitory pathway, and / or an agonist of an immunoco-stimulatory pathway to a patient in need. 【0081】 The oncolytic virus is preferably a modified clinical isolate. The oncolytic virus is preferably a poxvirus, and more preferably an HSV, such as HSV1 and / or an HSV functionally inactive to ICP34.5 and / or ICP47. The oncolytic virus may express an immunostimulatory molecule, such as GM-CSF, and / or a molecule encoding a costimulatory pathway, such as CD4OL, GITRL, OX4OL, 4-I-BBL, or ICOSL, and / or an inhibitor of CTLA-4, and / or a fusion-inducible protein, such as a GALV fusion-inducible glycoprotein with a mutated or deleted R sequence. Further antagonists of the immune-costimulatory pathway are preferably an antagonist of CTLA-4, an antagonist of PD1, or an antagonist of PD-L1. For example, a further antagonist of the immune-coinhibitory pathway may be an inhibitor of the interaction between PD1 and PD-L1. 【0082】 When therapeutic agents and / or radiotherapy are used in conjunction with the virus of the present invention, the administration of the virus and therapeutic agents and / or radiotherapy may be performed simultaneously or separately over time. The compositions of the present invention may be administered before, simultaneously with, or after therapeutic agents or radiotherapy. A method of treating cancer may include multiple administrations of the virus and / or therapeutic agents and / or radiotherapy of the present invention. In preferred embodiments, when used in combination with immune checkpoint blockers or other immunostimulants, the virus of the present invention is administered once or more times before subsequent simultaneous administration of immune checkpoint blockers or other immunostimulants, or is administered simultaneously with the administration of immune checkpoint blockers or other immunostimulants without prior administration of the virus of the present invention. 【0083】 The virus of the present invention can be administered to a target by any suitable route. Typically, the virus of the present invention is administered by direct intratumor injection. Intratumor injections include direct injection into epidermal, subcutaneous, or nodular tumors, as well as image-guided injections (such as CT, MRI, or ultrasound) to localize the deposits more deeply or firmly to internal organs and other locations. The virus can be administered into a body cavity, for example, into the pleural cavity, bladder, or intraperitoneal cavity. The virus can be injected intravascularly, preferably into the blood vessel supplying the tumor. 【0084】 The therapeutic agents that can be combined with the virus of the present invention can be administered in vivo to human or animal subjects using a variety of known routes and techniques.

[Examples] 【0090】 [Example 1] Construction of the virus of the present invention The virus species used to illustrate the present invention is HSV, specifically HSV1. The HSV1 strains used for illustration are identified through the comparison of more than 20 primary clinical isolates of HSV1 for their ability to kill a panel of human tumor-derived cell lines, and the selection of the virus strains with the highest ability to kill a wide range of these cells quickly and at low doses. The tumor cell lines used for this comparison include U87MG (glioma), HT29 (colorectal), LNCaP (prostate), MDA-MB-231 (breast), SK-MEL-28 (melanoma), Fadu (squamous cell carcinoma), MCF7 (breast), A549 (lung), MIAPACA-2 (pancreas), CAPAN-1 (pancreas), and HT1080 (fibrosarcoma). Specifically, each primary clinical isolate of HSV is titrated against each cell line used for screening at MOIs such as 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001, and the degree of cell death at time points such as 24 and 48 hours is evaluated for each dose. The degree of cell death can be assessed, for example, by microscopic evaluation of the percentage of viable cells at each time point, or by metabolic assays, such as MTT assays. 【0091】 Next, the exemplary virus of the present invention is constructed by deleting ICP47 from the viral genome using homologous recombination with a plasmid containing a region adjacent to HSV1 nucleotides 145300-145582 (HSV1 nucleotides 145300-145582 are the deleted sequence; HSV1 strain 17 sequence Genbank file NC 001806.2), which encodes GFP in between. GFP-expressing viral plaques are selected, and then GFP-removed and non-GFP-expressing plaques are selected by homologous recombination using empty adjacent regions. This results in an ICP47-deleted virus expressed as an IE protein, since US11 is under the regulation of the ICP47 promoter in this case. Next, ICP34.5 is deleted using homologous recombination with a plasmid containing a region adjacent to HSV1 nucleotides 124953-125727 (HSV1 nucleotides 124953-125727 are the deletion sequence; HSV1 strain 17 sequence Genbank file NC 001806.2), in which GFP is encoded. Viral plaques expressing GFP are selected again, and then GFP is removed by homologous recombination with the same adjacent region (however, in between, there is an expression cassette containing codon-optimized versions of the mouse GM-CSF sequence and the GALV R- sequence, respectively, driven by the CMV IE promoter and RSV promoter, oriented back-to-back), and viral plaques that do not express GFP are selected again. This viral construction is performed using methods standard in the art. 【0092】 The structure of the obtained virus is shown in Figure 1. The mGM-CSF and GALV-R- sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 2 and 8, respectively. The structure of the obtained virus was confirmed by PCR, GM-CSF expression was confirmed by ELISA, and GALV-R- expression was confirmed by infection of human HT1080 tumor cells and observation of syncytial plaques. 【0093】 The viruses are also constructed using similar procedures, either without insertion into ICP34.5 or with only the mouse GM-CSF or GALV-R- gene inserted. The structures of these viruses are also shown in Figure 1. 【0094】 For human use, hGM-CSF is used, and its codon-optimized version sequence is shown in Sequence ID No. 4. 【0095】 [Example 2] Expression of two immune-stimulating molecules from a virus that expresses a fusion-inducible protein. Similar to the viruses expressing GALV-R- and mGM-CSF described above, a virus expressing a CD40L version was constructed. Here, instead of using a plasmid containing an expression cassette with the ICP34.5 flanking region and GM-CSF and GALV-R- driven by the CMV and RSV promoters, a plasmid containing an expression cassette with the ICP34.5 flanking region and GM-CSF, GALV, and CD40L driven by the CMV, RSV, and SV40 promoters was used for recombination using a virus containing GFP inserted into ICP34.5, and plaques that did not express GFP were selected again. 【0096】 [Example 3] Effects of combining the expression of oncolytic virus-derived fusion-inducible proteins and immunostimulatory molecules in a mouse tumor model. The GALV R-protein causes cell-cell fusion in human cells but not in mouse cells. This is because the PiT-1 receptor necessary to cause cell fusion has a sequence in mice that does not allow cell fusion to occur. As a result, mouse tumor cells expressing human PiT-1 are first prepared using standard methods in the art. Human PiT-1 is cloned into a lentiviral vector that also contains a selectable marker gene. The vector is transfected into target CT26 mouse colorectal cancer tumor cells, and clones resistant to the selectable marker are selected to generate CT26 / PiT-1 cells. PiT-1 expression is confirmed by Western blotting in untransfected cells and cells transfected with a lentivirus expressing PiT-1, and by transfection of a plasmid expressing GALV-R- and confirmation that cell fusion occurs. 【0097】 The utility of the present invention is demonstrated by administering CT26 / PiT-1 cells to both sides of Balb / c mice and growing CT26 / PiT-1 tumors to a diameter of about 0.5 cm. 【0098】 Next, the following treatments are administered to groups of mice (5 mice per group) 3 times per week for 2 weeks, each on one side of each mouse: - 50 μl of physiological saline (1 group), - 50 μl of 10 5 pfu / ml, 10 6 pfu, or 10 7 pfu / ml of HSV (3 groups), - 50 μl of 10 5 pfu / ml, 10 6 pfu / ml, or 10 7 pfu / ml of HSV in which only mouse GM-CSF is inserted (3 groups), - 50 μl of 10 5 pfu / ml, 10 6 pfu / ml, or 10 7pfu / ml virus (group 3), or - 50 μl of 10 mice containing both GM-CSF and GALV-R- 5 pfu / ml, 10 6 pfu / ml, or 10 7 pfu / ml viruses (group 3). 【0099】 Next, the effect on tumor growth is observed for up to one month. Compared to other groups, superior tumor control and reduction are observed, including through improved dose-response curves, in both tumors injected with GM-CSF and GALV-R- expressing viruses and tumors that are not injected. 【0100】 [Example 4] The effect of combined expression of oncolytic virus-derived fusion-inducible proteins and immunostimulatory molecules on the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse tumor model. The experiment in Example 3 above is repeated, but the mice are given additional medication every two weeks via the intraperitoneal route using either an antibody targeting mouse PD-1 (10 mg / kg; Bioxcell RMP-1-14 on the same day as viral administration) or an antibody targeting mouse CTLA-4 (10 mg / kg; Bioxcell 9H10 on the same day as viral administration). An additional group of mice that do not receive antibody treatment is added. More specifically, the mouse groups receive (1) physiological saline, (2) HSV without gene insertion, (3) HSV with GM-CSF and GALV-R- insertion as in Example 3, (4) PD-1 antibody, (5) CTLA-4 antibody, (6) HSV without gene insertion + PD-1 antibody, (7) HSV without gene insertion + CTLA-4 antibody, (8) HSV with GM-CSF and GALV-R- and PD-1 antibody, or (9) HSV with GM-CSF and GALV-R- and CTLA-4 antibody. Compared to other groups, superior tumor control and reduction were observed, including through improved dose-response curves, in both injected and uninjected tumors using GM-CSF and GALV-R- expressing viruses, along with anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. 【0101】 [Example 5] Recovery of clinical isolates The virus species used to illustrate this invention is HSV, specifically HSV1. To illustrate this invention, 181 volunteers with recurrent cold sores were recruited. These volunteers were given sample collection kits (including Sigma Virovult collection tubes) to swab their sores when they appeared, and these samples were then sent to Replimune (Oxford, UK). Swabs were received from 72 volunteers between June 2015 and February 2016. BHK cells were infected using each swab sample. Of these, 36 live virus samples were seeded and grown on BHK cells before being collected. These samples are detailed in Table 1. 【0102】 [Table 1] JPEG0007875832000002.jpg23489JPEG0007875832000003.jpg23689JPEG0007875832000004.jpg18689 The symbols A, B, C, etc. refer to multiple wipes originating from the same volunteer. 【0103】 [Example 6] Identification of clinical isolates with improved antitumor efficacy The ability of primary clinical isolates of HSV1 to kill a panel of human tumor-derived cell lines was tested. The tumor cell lines used for this comparison were HT29 (colorectal), MDA-MB-231 (breast), SK-MEL-28 (melanoma), Fadu (squamous cell carcinoma), MCF7 (breast), A549 (lung), MIAPACA-2 (pancreas), and HT1080 (fibrosarcoma). Using the cell lines, the CPE levels achieved within a range of MOI and time after infection were tested for each primary clinical isolate. 【0104】 The experiments were conducted in parallel using 5 to 8 new virus strains simultaneously. The virus strains were seeded in duplicate at a certain MOI range (0.001 to 1), and the degree of CPE after crystal violet staining was evaluated 24 and 48 hours after infection. The virus strains most effective in killing tumor cell lines were scored, and the two or three most effective strains were identified from each screening of 5 to 8 strains and compared in parallel in further experiments to identify the top strain for further development. 【0105】 The initial screening demonstrated substantial variability in the ability of different strains to kill various tumor cell lines. Of the first 29 strains tested, eight were identified in the initial screening for further comparison. These were strains RH004A, RH015A, RH018A, RH021A, RH023A, RH31A, RH040A, and RH047A. 【0106】 For further comparison, eight strains were tested in parallel against a panel of tumor cell lines, and their relative ability to kill these tumor cell lines was evaluated after observation for crystal violet staining and CPE. Figure 3 shows representative time points and MOIs for each virus on each cell line, demonstrating the different abilities of the viruses to kill the observed target tumor cell lines. 【0107】 There is substantial variation among the strains, and it has been found that certain strains may be particularly effective in killing one cell line, while others are not necessarily particularly effective in killing other cell lines, further demonstrating the degree of variability in the ability of HSV clinical strains to kill different types of tumor cells. 【0108】 Figure 3 also shows which virus strains are best and second best at killing each of the cell lines, allowing for ranking of the virus strains in terms of their overall relative ability to kill a panel of cell lines as a whole. This analysis demonstrated that strains RH004A, RH015A, RH018A, RH031A, and RH040A were relatively more effective than the others, and these five strains were selected for potential further development as oncolytic agents. Of these top five strains, the relative ranking based on their ability to kill an entire panel of cell lines was RH018A > RH004A > RH031A > RH040A > RH015A. 【0109】 More specifically, in these experiments, tumor cell lines were seeded into multi-well tissue culture plates to approximately 80% confluence on the day of infection. Representative wells from each tumor cell line were trypsin-treated to determine the cell count in the well. These cell counts were used to determine the volume of each clinical isolate required to achieve MOIs of 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001. Separate wells of tumor cell lines were infected with clinical isolates at these MOIs. All infections were performed in quadruple incubation. Two wells were incubated for 24 hours, and two wells for 48 hours, both at 37°C and 5% CO2. The cells were then fixed with glutaraldehyde and stained with crystal violet. The level of cell lysis was then evaluated by macroscopic observation, microscopy (cell counting), and photography. 【0110】 The RH018A strain was the first to rank among all strains tested and was compared to the "average" strain from the screening (i.e., not among the top 8, but also not among the least effective strains that failed to kill the panel of tumor cell lines). This comparison showed that the RH018A strain was approximately 10 times more effective than this average strain (RH065A) in killing tumor cell lines (i.e., about one-tenth of the RH018A strain was needed to kill an equal proportion of cells compared to the RH065A strain). This is shown in Figure 4. 【0111】 [Example 7] Modification of clinical isolates In this example, the clinical isolate selected in Example 6 was modified by deleting ICP34.5 from the viral genome via homologous recombination using a plasmid containing a region adjacent to the gene encoding ICP34.5 (nucleotides 143680-145300 and 145,582-147,083; HSV1 strain 17 sequence Genbank file NC 001806.2), which in between encodes GFP and GALV-R-fusion-inducible glycoprotein. The structure of this virus (virus 10) is shown in Figure 5. 【0112】 Additionally, we constructed an additional virus based on the RH018A strain, which was deleting both ICP34.5 and ICP47 (using adjacent regions containing nucleotides 123464-124953 and 125727-126781; HSV1 strain 17 sequence Genbank file NC 001806.2) (placing US11 under the regulation of the ICP47 promoter). To construct these viruses, we first selected GFP-expressing viral plaques in which GFP was expressed instead of ICP47. Next, we removed GFP by homologous recombination using an empty adjacent region, selecting plaques that did not express GFP. This resulted in an ICP47-deleting virus, in which US11 is expressed as an IE protein, here under the regulation of the ICP47 promoter. Next, ICP34.5 was deleted by homologous recombination using a plasmid containing a region adjacent to HSV1 (nucleotides 143680-145300 and 145,582-147,083; HSV1 strain 17 sequence Genbank file NC 001806.2), which encodes GFP. Viral plaques expressing GFP were selected again, and then GFP was removed by homologous recombination using the same adjacent region (where, in this case, an expression cassette containing the inserted gene is present). The constructed viruses are shown in Figures 1 and 5. These contain, back-to-back, codon-optimized versions of the mouse GM-CSF sequence and the GALV R- sequence, respectively, driven by the CMV IE promoter and the RSV promoter, and again, viral plaques that do not express GFP were selected. This virus construction was performed using methods standard in the art. 【0113】 The mGM-CSF and GALV-R- sequences are shown in Sequence ID No. 2 and 8, respectively. The structure of the obtained virus was confirmed by PCR, GM-CSF expression was confirmed by ELISA, and GALV-R- expression was confirmed by infection of human HT1080 tumor cells and observation of syncytial plaques. 【0114】 hGM-CSF was used for human use, and the sequence of its codon-optimized version is shown in SEQ ID NO: 4. The structure of this virus is shown in Figure 5. Expression of mouse or human GM-CSF from viruses 16, 17, and 19 is shown in Figure 6. 【0115】 [Example 8] The virus of the present invention, modified for oncolytic use and expressing a fusion-inducible glycoprotein, exhibits increased tumor cell death in vitro compared to viruses that do not express the fusion-inducible glycoprotein. Virus 10 (see Figure 5), based on the clinical strain RH018A lacking ICP34.5 and expressing GALVR- and GFP, was compared to a virus expressing only GFP in vitro (Virus 12). As shown in Figure 7, Virus 10 showed increased cell death in a panel of human tumor cell lines compared to Virus 12. 【0116】 [Example 9] The virus of the present invention, modified for use in oncolysis, exhibits increased tumor cell death compared to similarly modified viruses not of the present invention. Virus 17 (see Figure 5), based on the clinical strain RH018A lacking ICP34.5 and ICP47 and expressing GALVR- and GM-CSF, was compared in vitro with a known virus that also lacks ICP34.5 and ICP47 but expresses only GM-CSF, and is not derived from the present strain. As shown in Figure 8, virus 17 showed increased cell death in a panel of human tumor cell lines compared to the previous virus. 【0117】 [Example 10] The virus of the present invention, modified for oncolytic use, effectively treats mouse tumors in vivo. Virus 16 was tested in mice with A20 lymphoma tumors on both sides of the body. One million tumor cells were initially transplanted into both sides of Balb / c mice, and the tumors were allowed to grow to a diameter of 0.5–0.7 cm. Next, the tumor on the right side was treated with 5 × 10⁶ virus 16 in a vehicle (10 mice). 6PFU (10 mice) was injected three times (every other day), and the effect on tumor size was observed for a further 30 days. This demonstrated that both injected and uninjected tumors were effectively treated with virus 16 (see Figure 9). 【0118】 [Example 11] Effect of combining the expression of a fusion-inducible protein from the oncolytic virus and an immunostimulatory molecule in a rat tumor model. The GALV R- protein induces cell fusion in human cells but not in mouse cells. However, GALV R- induces fusion in rat cells. 【0119】 The usefulness of the present invention was further demonstrated by administering 9L cells to the side of Fischer 344 rats, which allowed 9L tumors to grow to a diameter of approximately 0.5 cm. 【0120】 Next, the following treatment was administered to groups of rats (10 rats per group) three times a week for three weeks, to only one side of each rat: - 50 μl vehicle, - 10 of 50 μl 7 pfu / ml of Virus 19 (expressing mGM-CSF but not GALV R-), - 10 of 50 μl 7 Virus 16 with a pfu / ml concentration (expressing both mouse GM-CSF and GALV-R-). 【0121】 Next, the effect on tumor growth was observed for a further 30 days. This demonstrated superior tumor control and reduction by the GALV-R-expressing virus in both injected and uninjected tumors, demonstrating improved systemic effects. This is shown in Figure 15. Figure 10 shows that the GALV-expressing virus (virus 15) also showed increased death of rat 9L cells in vitro compared to the non-GALV-expressing virus (virus 24). 【0122】 [Example 12] The virus of the present invention, modified for use in oncolysis, is synergistic with immune checkpoint blockade in mouse tumor models. Virus 16 was tested in mice with CT26 tumors on both sides of their bodies. One million tumor cells were initially transplanted into each side of Balb / c mice, and the tumors were allowed to grow to a diameter of 0.5–0.6 cm. 【0123】 Next, a group of 10 mice was treated as follows: - Vehicle (3 injections into the tumor on the right side, every other day) - 5 x 10 injections into the tumor on the right side every other day 6 PFU virus 16, - Anti-mouse PD1 monotherapy (10 mg / kg ip, every 3 days, BioXCell clone RMP1-14), - Anti-mouse CTLA-4 (3 mg / kg ip, every 3 days, BioXCell clone 9D9), - Anti-mouse PD1 along with virus 16, - Anti-mouse CTLA4 along with virus 16, - 1-Methyltryptophan (IDO inhibitor (5 mg / ml in drinking water)), - 1-methyltryptophan along with anti-mouse PD1, - Anti-mouse PD1 along with 1-methyltryptophan and virus 16. 【0124】 The effect on tumor size was observed for a further 30 days. Greater tumor reduction was demonstrated in animals treated with a combination of virus and checkpoint blockade compared to animals treated with a single treatment (see Figure 11). Increased tumor reduction was also demonstrated with both anti-PD1 and IDO inhibition along with virus 16 compared to anti-PD1 alone along with virus 16 (see Figure 11). 【0125】 Furthermore, increased activity of virus 16 in combination with immune checkpoint blockade was observed in A20 tumors (Figure 12). 【0126】 [Example 13] Effect of expressing the oncolytic virus-derived fusion-inducible protein of the present invention in a human xenotransplantation model in immunodeficient mice. The GALV R protein induces cell fusion in human cells but not in mouse cells. However, the effect of GALV expression on antitumor activity can be evaluated using human xenograft tumors grown in immunodeficient mice. 【0127】 Therefore, the usefulness of the present invention was further demonstrated by administering A549 human lung cancer cells to the side of nude mice and allowing the tumors to grow to a diameter of approximately 0.5 cm. 【0128】 Next, the following treatment was administered to groups of mice (10 mice per group) three times over a week to the tumor-containing side of each mouse: - 50 μl vehicle, - 10 of 50 μl 7 pfu / ml of virus 16 (expressing both mouse GM-CSF and GALV-R-), - 10 of 50 μl 6 pfu / ml virus 16, - 10 of 50 μl 5 pfu / ml virus 16, - 10 of 50 μl 7 pfu / ml of virus 19 (expressing only mouse GM-CSF), - 10 of 50 μl 6 pfu / ml virus 19, - 10 of 50 μl 5 PFU / ML Virus 19 【0129】 Next, the effect on tumor growth was observed for a further 30 days. This experiment demonstrated superior tumor control and reduction by the GALV-R-expressing virus in both tumor models (see Figure 14). 【0130】 [Example 14] Expression of two immune-stimulating molecules from a virus that expresses a fusion-inducible protein. Similar to the viruses expressing GALV-R- and mGM-CSF described above (virus 16), viruses expressing mouse versions of CD40L (virus 32), ICOSL (virus 36), OX40L (virus 35), 4-1BBL (virus 33), and GITRL (virus 34) were further constructed. Here, instead of using plasmids containing expression cassettes with the ICP34.5 flanking region and GM-CSF and GALV-R- driven by CMV and RSV promoters, plasmids containing the ICP34.5 flanking region and expression cassettes with GM-CSF, GALV, and additional proteins driven by CMV, RSV, and MMLV promoters, respectively, were used for recombination with viruses containing GM-CSF, GALV, and GFP inserted into ICP34.5. Plaques that did not express GFP were selected again. Accurate insertion was confirmed by PCR, and expression of additional inserted genes was confirmed by Western blotting and / or ELISA. These viruses are shown in Figure 5. Similarly, viruses expressing anti-mouse and anti-human CTLA-4 in addition to GALV and mGM-CSF were also constructed (see viruses 27 and 31 in Figure 5, and also Figure 13). Figure 16 shows the effects of viruses expressing anti-mouse CTLA-4 (virus 27), mCD40L (virus 32), m4-1BBL (virus 33), or mOX40L (virus 35) in vivo, in addition to mGM-CSF and GALVR-. This showed enhanced activity in A20 tumors compared to virus 16 (expressing mGM-CSF and GALVR-). In these experiments, tumors were induced bilaterally in mice, and the virus or vehicle was injected only into the tumor on the right side. The dose of virus used was 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 pfu (50 μl 1 × 10 in each case) 6 The dose was pfu / ml and administered three times over a week. This dose level of virus is sub-therapeutic for tumors not injected with virus 16, thereby clearly demonstrating the benefit of delivering additional molecules encoded by viruses 27, 32, 33, and 35. 【0131】 Deposit Information The following HSV1 strain was deposited by Replimune Limited with ECACC, Culture Collections, Public Health England, at Porton Down SP4 0JG, Salisbury, UK, on December 19, 2016, and was assigned a designated provisional accession number.
