Description

USE OF ONCOLYTIC VIRUSES, ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH A CHECKPOINT INHIBITOR, FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(e) of United States provisional patent application number 62 / 471,875, filed on March 15, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In light of advances in cancer therapy over the past few decades, the cancer mortality rate continues to decline in both men and women for the most common types of cancer, such as lung, colon, breast, and prostate cancer. This improvement in survival is likely due to progress in diagnosing certain cancers at an early stage, improvements in treatment, and the results of public health initiatives that encourage preventive measures and screening. Even so, cancer remains a major public health problem, with more than 1.6 million people diagnosed each year. Furthermore, cancer diagnoses have profound effects on patients, as well as their families and friends. In fact, cancer remains the second most common cause of death in the United States (second only to heart disease) and accounts for nearly one in four deaths. See progressreport.cancer.gov / introduction; accessed March 8, 2017. The desired goal of cancer therapy is to preferentially destroy cancer cells without harming normal cells. Various methods have been used in an attempt to achieve this goal, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and neolytic virus therapy. Local treatments, such as radiation therapy and surgery, offer a way to reduce tumor mass in areas of the body accessible through surgical techniques or high-dose radiation therapy. However, the primary approach to cancer treatment is chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic agents, however, have limited effectiveness in treating many types of cancer, including many common solid tumors. This failure is due in part to drug resistance (either acquired or intrinsic) in many tumor cells. A major drawback of using chemotherapy agents is their severe side effects. These include bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and mouth ulcers. Proposed alternative therapies include the administration of oncolytic viruses and the use of viral vectors to deliver a transgene with anticancer activity. Genetic engineering of viruses for use as oncolytic agents initially focused on using replication-incompetent viruses in an attempt to prevent virus-induced damage. non-tumor cells. A major limitation of this approach was that these replication-incompetent viruses required a helper virus to be able to integrate into and / or replicate within a host cell. The effectiveness of these viruses is limited because each replication-defective retrovirus particle can only enter a single cell and cannot productively infect others thereafter. Therefore, they cannot spread far from the producing cell and are unable to fully penetrate many tumors in vivo. More recently, genetic engineering of oncolytic viruses has focused on generating "replication-conditional" viruses in an effort to avoid systemic infection while still allowing the virus to spread to other tumor cells. Currently, the only approved oncolytic virus-based drug in the US and Europe is the talimogene laherparepvec (IMLYGIC®). The talimogene laherparepvec is an HSV-1 derived from the clinical strain JS1 (deposited in the European Cell Culture Collection (ECAAC) with accession number 01010209). In the talimogene laherparepvec, the HSV-1 viral genes encoding ICP34.5 and ICP47 have been functionally deleted. The functional deletion of ICP47 leads to earlier expression of US11, a gene that promotes viral growth in tumor cells without decreasing tumor selectivity. In addition, the sequence encoding human GM-CSF has been inserted into the viral genome at the former ICP34.5 gene sites. See, Liu et al., Gene Ther., 10: 292-303, 2003. Therapeutic combinations of oncolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors have been explored. For example, combinations of talimogene laherparepvec and immunotherapies (e.g., ipilimumab and pembrolizumab) are currently being explored in clinical trials in melanoma (document NCT01740297 and document NCT02263508) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (document NCT02626000). Checkpoint inhibitors, such as ipilimumab (an antibody against CTLA-4), pembrolizumab and nivolumab (anti-PD-1 antibodies), and atezolizumab (an anti-PD-L1 antibody), have demonstrated efficacy in a variety of tumor types. See Grosso et al., Cancer Immun., 13: 5 (2013); Pardoll, Nat Rev Cancer, 12: 252-264 (2012). and Chen et al., Immunity, 39: 1-10 (2013). However, there remains a need to further develop effective cancer therapies with reduced side effects (e.g., compared to chemotherapy). There is also a need to further develop effective cancer therapies that are effective against metastatic cancers. The present invention addresses these and other needs.

ONCOLYTIC VIRUSES As discussed herein, the present invention demonstrates that oncolytic viruses are capable of generating antitumor effects in a variety of tumor types, either alone or in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. A striking advantage of the oncolytic viruses of the present invention is that, compared to, for example, chemotherapy, the antitumor effects are accompanied by fewer severe / negative side effects.

In further embodiments, herpes simplex virus 1 is modified such that: (i) it does not contain an intact ICP34.5 gene; (ii) it does not contain an intact ICP47 gene; and (ii) it contains a gene encoding GM-CSF (e.g., human GM-CSF). In one particular embodiment, the eneolytic virus is talimogene laherparepvec. The talimogene laherparepvec, VHS-1 [strain JS1] ICP34.57ICP47- / hGM-CSF, (formerly known as OncoVex GM CSF), is an oncolytic immunotherapy delivered intratumorally comprising an immune-enhanced HSV-1 that selectively replicates in solid tumors. (Luí et al., Gene Therapy, 10: 292-303, 2003; U.S. Patent No. 2 7,223,593 and U.S. Patent No. 27,537,924). HSV-1 was obtained from the JS1 strain deposited in the European Cell Culture Collection (ECAAC) with accession number 01010209. In the laherparepvec thalimogene, the HSV-1 viral genes encoding ICP34.5 have been functionally deleted. Functional deletion of ICP34.5, which acts as a virulence factor during HSV infection, limits replication in non-dividing cells and renders the virus non-pathogenic. The safety of HSV with functionally suppressed ICP34.5 has been demonstrated in multiple clinical studies (MacKie et al, Lancet 357: 525-526, 2001; Markert et al, Gene Ther7: 867-874, 2000; Rampling et al, Gene Ther7: 859-866, 2000; Sundaresan et al, J. Virol 74: 3822-3841, 2000; Hunter et al, JV / ro / August; 73 (8): 6319-6326, 1999). Furthermore, ICP47 (which blocks viral antigen presentation to class I and II major histocompatibility complex molecules) has been functionally suppressed from the talimogene laherparepvec.Functional deletion of ICP47 also leads to earlier expression of US11, a gene that promotes viral growth in tumor cells without decreasing tumor selectivity. As used herein, "non-functional" viral gene means that the gene(s) are partially or completely deleted, replaced, rearranged, or otherwise altered in the herpes simplex genome such that a functional viral protein can no longer be expressed from that gene by the herpes simplex virus. The sequence encoding human GM-CSF, a cytokine involved in stimulating immune responses, has been inserted into the viral genome (at the two preceding ICP34.5 gene sites) of the thalimogene laherparepvec. The insertion of the gene encoding human GM-CSF is such that it replaces almost the entire ICP34 gene.5, ensuring that any potential recombination event between talimogene laherparepvec and wild-type virus can only result in a disabled, non-pathogenic virus and cannot result in the generation of wild-type viruses carrying the gene for human GM-CSF. The HSV thymidine kinase (TK) gene remains intact in talimogene laherparepvec, which makes the virus... 13 is sensitive to antiviral agents such as acyclovir. Therefore, acyclovir can be used to block the replication of talimogene laherparepvec, if necessary. Examples of additional HSV genes that can be modified include ICP6, the large ribonucleotide reductase subunit, involved in nucleotide metabolism and viral DNA synthesis in non-dividing cells but not in dividing cells. Thymidine kinase, responsible for phosphorylating acyclovir to acyclovir monophosphate, the virion trans-activating protein vmw65, glycoprotein H, vhs, ICP43, and the immediate early genes encoding ICP4, ICP27, ICP22, and / or ICPO can also be modified. Modifications can also be made to alter the timing of herpes simplex virus gene expression. For example, US11 can be expressed as an early gene by placing the US11 gene with the Us12 promoter, Mulvey et al. (1999) J Virology, 73: 4, 3375-3385, U.S. Patent No. US5824318, Mohr & Gluzman (1996) EMBO 15: 4759-4766. As experts in the field would appreciate, heterologous genes, such as those encoding human GM-CSF, can be inserted into the HSV viral genome, and viral genes, such as ICP34.5 and ICP47, can be functionally suppressed using homologous recombination with plasmid DNA. The talimogene laherparepvec produces a direct neolytic effect by replicating the virus within the tumor and inducing an antitumor immune response enhanced by local GM-CSF expression and the release of tumor-derived antigens through lysis. Since many cancers are present as both primary and secondary (i.e., metastatic) tumors in patients, this dual activity is beneficial as a therapeutic approach. The anticipated clinical effects include the destruction of injected tumors, the destruction of local, locoregional, and distant non-injected tumors, a reduction in the development of new metastases, a reduction in the overall progression rate and the relapse rate following treatment of the initially present disease, and prolonged overall survival. As used herein, the terms "patient" and "subject" are used interchangeably and mean a mammal, including, but not limited to, a human or non-human mammal such as a bovine, equine, canine, ovine, or feline. Preferably, the patient is a human being. Talimogene laherparepvec and OncoVex mGMCSF (a VHS-1 virus with the same genetic modifications as talimogene laherparepvec, except that human GM-CSF is replaced by murine GM-CSF) has been approved to determine its efficacy in a variety of murine tumor models in vitro (cell lineage) and in vivo and has been shown to eradicate tumors or substantially inhibit their growth at doses comparable to those 14 used in clinical studies. Non-clinical evaluation has also confirmed that GM-CSF potentiates the generated immune response, enhancing both injected and non-injected tumor responses, and that the increased surface levels of MHC class I molecules result from ICP47 suppression. The talimogene laherparepvec has been injected into normal and tumor-bearing mice to assess its safety. Overall, the virus has been well tolerated, and doses up to 1 x 10 8 UFP / doses have not shown any indication of safety problems. (See, for example, Liu et al., Gene TherlO: 292-303, 2003) Clinical trials have been or are underway in several types of advanced tumors with over 400 subjects treated with talimogene laherparepvec (see, for example, Hu et al., Clin Can Res 12: 6737-6747, 2006; Harrington et al., J Clin Oncol. 27 (15a): abstract 6018, 2009; Kaufman et al., Ann Surgic Oncol. 17: 718-730, 2010; Kaufman and Bines, Future Oncol. 6 (6): 941-949, 2010). Clinical data indicate that talimogene laherparepvec has the potential to provide overall clinical benefit to patients with advanced melanoma. In particular, a high complete response rate was achieved in stage IV melanoma (Scenzer et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 271 (12): 907-913, 2009). Furthermore, responses were observed at both injected and non-injected sites, including visceral sites. The viruses of the invention may also be derived from a herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) strain or a derivative thereof. Derivatives include intertype recombinants containing DNA from both HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains. Such intertype recombinants are described in the art, for example, in Thompson et al., (1998) Virus Genes 1 (3); 275-286 and Meignier et al., (1998) J. Infect. Dis. 159; 602-614. Herpes simplex virus strains can be derived from clinical isolates. These strains are isolated from infected individuals, such as those with recurrent oral herpes. Clinical isolates can be explored to determine a desired capability or characteristic, such as enhanced replication in tumor cells and / or other cells in vitro and / or in vivo compared to conventional laboratory strains, as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,063,835 and 7,223,593, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In one embodiment, the herpes simplex virus is a clinical isolate from recurrent oral herpes. Viral strains of herpes simplex virus 1 include, but are not limited to, strain JS1, strain 17+, strain F and strain KOS, and strain Patton. Other examples of modified herpes simplex viruses include, but are not limited to, the Seprehvir™ (HSV1716) 17+ strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 that has a 759 bp deletion located within each copy of the BamHI fragment (0 to 0-02 and 0-81 to 0.83 map units) of the long repeat region of the VHS genome, removing a complete copy of the 18 bp DR element from the 'a' sequence and terminating 105 bp upstream of the 5' end of the immediate early gene 1 (1E), see MacLean et al., (1991) Journal of General Virology 79: 631-639). G207, an eneolytic HSV-1 derived from the wild-type HSV-1 F strain that has deletions in both copies of the major determinant of HSV neurovirulence, the ICP 34.5 gene, and an inactivating insertion of the E. coli lacZ gene at UL39, which encodes infected cell protein 6 (ICP6), see Mineta et al.

M032, a herpes simplex virus with deletion of both copies of the ICP34.5 genes and insertion of interleukin 12, see Cassady and Ness Parker, (2010) The Open Virology Journal 4:103-108. ImmunoVEX VHS-2 is a herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) that has functional deletions of the genes encoding vhs, ICP47, ICP34.5, UL43 and US5. OncoVex GALV / CDIt is also derived from the JS1 strain of HSV-1 with the genes encoding ICP34.5 and ICP47 functionally deleted and the gene encoding gibbon monkey leukemia cytosine deaminase and fusogenic glycoprotein inserted into the viral genome in place of the ICP34.5 genes.

CHECKPOINT INHIBITORS Immune checkpoints are proteins that regulate certain types of immune system cells, such as T lymphocytes (which play a central role in cell-mediated immunity). While immune checkpoints help keep immune responses in check, they can also prevent T lymphocytes from destroying cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (or simply "checkpoint inhibitors") can block the activity of the immune checkpoint protein, releasing the "brakes" on the immune system and allowing T lymphocytes to better destroy cancer cells. As used herein, the term "immune checkpoint inhibitor" or "checkpoint inhibitor" refers to molecules that reduce, inhibit, interfere with, or modulate, wholly or partially, one or more checkpoint proteins. Checkpoint proteins regulate the activation or function of T lymphocytes. Numerous checkpoint proteins are known, such as CTLA-4 and its ligands CD80 and CD86; and PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 (Pardoll, Nature Reviews Cancer: 252-264, 2012). These proteins are responsible for costimulatory or inhibitory interactions of T lymphocyte responses. Immune checkpoint proteins regulate and maintain self-tolerance and the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses. Immune checkpoint inhibitors include antibodies or may be derived from antibodies. Checkpoint inhibitors can include small-molecule inhibitors or antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to and block or inhibit immune checkpoint receptors, or antibodies that bind to and block or inhibit immune checkpoint receptor ligands. Illustrative checkpoint molecules that can be targeted for blockade or inhibition include, but are not limited to, CTLA-4, PD-L1, PD-L2, PD-1, B7-H3, B7-H4, BTLA, HVEM, GAL9, LAG3, TIM3, VISTA, KIR, and 2B4 (which belongs to the CD2 family of molecules and is expressed on all T, NK, and CD8 lymphocytes). +memory (ap)), CD160 (also called BY55), CGEN-15049, CHK1 and CHK2 kinases, A2aR, and various B-7 family ligands. B7 family ligands include, but are not limited to, B7-1, B7-2, B7-DC, B7-H1, B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4, B7-H5, B7-H6, and B7-H7. Checkpoint inhibitors include antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, other binding proteins, biological therapies, or small molecules that bind to, and block or inhibit the activity of, one or more of CTLA-4, PD-L1, PD-L2, PD-1, BTLA, HVEM, TIM3, GAL9, LAG3, VISTA, KIR, 2B4, CD160, and CGEN-15049. Cytotoxic T-cell-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) is an immune checkpoint molecule that negatively regulates T-cell activation pathways. CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell activation. Blocking it has been shown to 17 CTLA-4 increases T lymphocyte activation and proliferation. The combination of herpes simplex virus and anti-CTLA-4 antibody aims to enhance T lymphocyte activation through two different mechanisms in order to increase the antitumor immune response to the tumor antigen released after lytic viral replication in the tumor. Therefore, the combination of herpes simplex virus and anti-CTLA-4 antibody can enhance the destruction of both injected and non-injected / distal tumors, improve the overall tumor response, and prolong overall survival, particularly when the overall survival prolongation is compared to that obtained using anti-CTLA-4 antibody alone. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a 288-amino-acid cell surface protein molecule expressed on T lymphocytes and pro-B cells and plays a role in their fate / differentiation. The two ligands of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2, are members of the B7 family. PD-1 limits T lymphocyte activity in peripheral tissues during an inflammatory response to infection. Blocking PD-1 in vitro enhances T lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production in response to stimulation by specific antigen targets or allogeneic cells in mixed lymphocyte reactions. A strong correlation between PD-1 expression and response to PD-1 blockade has been shown (Pardoll, Nature Reviews Cancer, 12: 252-264, 2012). PD-1 blockade can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms, including antibodies that bind to PD-1 or PD-L1. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), also called differentiation cluster 274 (CD274) or B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1), is a protein encoded by the CD274 gene. See Entrez Gene: CD274 CD274 molecule. PD-L1, a 40 kDa type 1 transmembrane protein that plays a role in immune suppression, binds to its receptor (PD-1) found on activated T lymphocytes, B cells, and myeloid cells to modulate cell activation or inhibition. See Chemnitz et al., Journal of Immunology, 173 (2):945-54 (2004). Other immune checkpoint inhibitors include lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) inhibitors, such as IMP321, a soluble Ig fusion protein (Bñgnone et al., 2007, J. Immunol. 179: 4202-4211). Also included are B7 inhibitors, such as B7-H3 and B7-H4 inhibitors (e.g., the anti-B7-H3 antibody MGA271 (Loo et al., 2012, Clin. Cancer Res. July 15 (18) 3834). Another checkpoint inhibitor is TIM3 (T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3) (Fourcade et al., 2010, J. Exp. Med. 207: 2175-86 and Sakuishi et al., 2010, J. Exp. Med. 207: 2187-94). As further described herein, in one aspect, the present invention relates to the use of combinations of eneolytic viruses and inhibitors of 18. Checkpoint for the treatment of cancers. In another aspect, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the combination of eneolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, the checkpoint inhibitor is a blocker of or inhibitor of CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2. In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is a CTLA-4 blocker or inhibitor such as tremretirumab, ipilimumab (also known as 10D1, MDX-D010), BMS-986249, AGEN-1884, and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2: 5,811,097; 5,811,097; 5,855,887; 6,051,227; 6,207,157; ​​6,682,736; 6,984,720; and 7,605,238, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BMS 936558 is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1. In a phase I trial, biweekly administration of BMS-936558 in subjects with advanced, treatment-resistant malignancies showed durable partial or complete regressions. The most significant response rate was observed in subjects with melanoma (28%) and renal cell carcinoma (27%), but substantial clinical activity was also observed in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and some responses persisted for more than one year. BMS 936559 is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that targets the PD-1 ligand PD-L1. Phase I results showed that biweekly administration of this drug led to durable responses, particularly in subjects with melanoma. Objective response rates ranged from 6% to 17%, depending on the cancer type, in subjects with advanced NSCLC, melanoma, OCR, or ovarian cancer, with some subjects experiencing responses that lasted a year or more. AMP-224 is a fusion protein of the extracellular domain of the second ligand of PD-1, PD-L2, and IgG1, which has the potential to block the PD-L2 / PD-1 interaction. AMP-224 is currently in phase I trials as a monotherapy in subjects with advanced cancer. MEDI4736 is an anti-PD-L1 antibody that has demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and durable clinical activity in this dose-escalation study. Expansion into multiple cancers and development of MEDI4736 as monotherapy and in combination are ongoing. GITR AGONISTS The glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related gene (GITR: TNFRSF18), sometimes also called an activation-inducible TNFR family member (AITR), is a receptor belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). It is activated by its affinity ligand, the GITR ligand (GITRL, TNFSF18). GITR is a type I transmembrane protein containing a cisterna-rich extracellular domain, which is characteristic of TNFR family members. The cytoplasmic domain of GITR, for example, shares close homology with certain other TNFR family members, such as 4-1BB and CD27 (Nocentini, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sel., 94: 6216-6221 (1997)). GITR agonist antibodies are currently being explored as a means to expand the population of CD8+ memory effector T lymphocytes and, at the same time, promote the loss or inhibition of Tregs. The co-stimulation of responder T lymphocytes and the suppression of regulatory T lymphocyte activity mean that GITR activation results in a boosted immune response. Such activation has the potential to restore immune responses to infections and tumors. Consequently, molecules capable of activating GITR would be valuable as immunostimulatory agents in settings where triggering a boosted immune response is desirable. As further disclosed herein, in one aspect, the present invention relates to the use of combinations of eneolytic viruses and GITR agonists for the treatment of cancers. In another aspect, the present invention relates to 20 pharmaceutical compositions comprising the combination of eneolytic viruses and GITR agonists. In some implementations, the GITR agonist is AMG 228 (also called 9H6v3), TRX518, MEDI1873, MK-4166, BMS-986156, MK-1248, INCAGN01876 or GWN323.

In some embodiments, the cancer is metastatic cancer. The term "metastatic cancer" refers to cancer that has spread from the part of the body where it started (the primary site) to other parts of the body. When cancer has spread to a new area (metastasized), it is still called the cancer of the body part where it began. For example, colon cancer that has spread to the pancreas is called "metastatic colon cancer to the pancreas," as opposed to pancreatic cancer. Treatment is also based on where the cancer originated. If colon cancer spreads to the bones, it is still colon cancer, and the appropriate doctor will recommend treatments that have been shown to fight metastatic colon cancer. The present invention also relates to the use of combinations of eneolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of cancers. In some embodiments, the cancer is Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma, rhabdoid tumor, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, B-cell lymphoma (e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal cancer, melanoma, head and neck carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, breast cancer (e.g., triple-negative breast carcinoma), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma.

In particular embodiments, the present invention relates to a combination of an eneolytic virus and an anti-PD-1 antibody, an eneolytic virus and an anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an eneolytic virus and an anti-CTLA-4 antibody. In specific embodiments, the eneolytic virus is talimogene laherparepvec. In many cases, cancer is present in patients as a primary tumor (i.e., a tumor that grows at the anatomical site where tumor progression began and advanced to produce a cancerous mass) and as a secondary tumor or metastasis (i.e., the spread of a tumor from its primary site to other parts of the body). The eneolytic viruses of the present invention can be effective in treating tumors through a lytic effect and a systemic immune effect. For example, in the context of talimogene laherparepvec, the virus physically lyses tumor cells, causing the death of the primary tumor cells.Furthermore, [1] lysis of tumor cells releases tumor-derived antigens that are subsequently recognized by the immune system; and [2] GM-CSF production aids in the induction of an antitumor immune response: both mechanisms are thought to lead to a systemic immune response whereby the immune system can recognize and attack both primary and secondary tumors / metastases. In embodiments where the neolytic virus is combined with a checkpoint inhibitor, the checkpoint inhibitor is thought to further potentiate the systemic immune response by enhancing sensitization and reducing the inhibitory effect of immune checkpoint proteins on immune system cells, such as T lymphocytes.Furthermore, in embodiments where the eneolytic virus is combined with a GITR agonist, the GITR agonist is believed to further enhance the systemic immune response by expanding the population of CD8+ effector memory T lymphocytes and promoting the loss or inhibition of Tregs. Accordingly, the present invention contemplates the treatment of primary tumors, metastases (i.e., secondary tumors), or both with an eneolytic virus (e.g., talimogene laherparepvec) alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor. In some embodiments, the treatment methods or uses described herein do not include radiation therapy or a combination therapy with radiation. In other embodiments, the treatment methods or uses described herein do not include chemotherapy (i.e., chemical agents or drugs, typically small-molecule compounds, that are selectively destructive to malignant cells and tissues), such as cisplatin, or a combination therapy with chemotherapy (e.g., cisplatin). In other embodiments 24 Furthermore, the treatment methods or uses described herein do not include treatment with a combination of radiation and a chemotherapy agent (e.g., cisplatin). The methods of the present invention can be used to treat several different stages of cancer. Most staging systems include information on whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, where the tumor is located in the body, the cell type (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma), whether the cancer has spread to a different part of the body, the tumor size, and the tumor grade (i.e., the level of cellular abnormality, the likelihood that the tumor will grow and spread). For example, Stage 0 refers to the presence of abnormal cells that have not spread to nearby tissue—that is, cells that may become cancerous. Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III cancer refer to the presence of cancer. The higher the stage, the larger the cancerous tumor and the more it has spread to nearby tissues. Stage IV cancer is cancer that has spread to distant parts of the body.In some embodiments, the methods of the present invention can be used to treat metastatic cancer. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising eneolytic viruses or comprising a combination of eneolytic viruses and checkpoint inhibitors. The pharmaceutical composition may contain formulation materials to modify, maintain, or preserve, for example, the pH, osmolality, viscosity, clarity, color, isotonicity, odor, sterility, stability, dissolution or release rate, adsorption, or penetration of the composition.Pharmaceutically active agents can be administered to a patient via various routes, including, for example, orally or parenterally, such as intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intraorbitally, intracapsularly, intraperitoneally, intrarectally, intracisternally, intratumorally, intravascularly, intradermally, or by passive or facilitated absorption through the skin using, for example, a skin patch or transdermal iontophoresis, respectively. In one embodiment, the oncolytic virus (e.g., talimogene laherparepvec) is injected into the tumor (i.e., via intratumoral injection). In another embodiment, the checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody, anti-PD-L1 antibody, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody) is administered systemically (e.g., intravenously). A practitioner may determine the dosage and duration of treatment in accordance with any aspect of this disclosure. For example, a practitioner may monitor patients to determine whether treatment should be initiated. 25. Treatment may be continued, interrupted, or resumed. An effective amount for a particular patient may vary depending on factors such as the condition being treated, the patient's general health, and the method, route, and dose of administration. The physician, using established parameters of the technique, determines the appropriate dose. An effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to be used therapeutically will depend, for example, on the therapeutic context and objectives. A practitioner will appreciate that the appropriate dosage levels for treatment will therefore vary, depending in part on the delivered molecule, the indication for which the binding agent molecule is used, the route of administration, and the patient's size (body weight, body surface area, or organ size) and condition (age and general health status). Consequently, the clinician may titrate the dose and modify the route of administration to achieve the optimal therapeutic effect. Clinical studies have demonstrated that talimogene laherparepvec can be injected directly into cutaneous, subcutaneous, or lymph node lesions that are visible, palpable, or can be injected under ultrasound guidance. Thus, in one respect, pharmaceutical compositions comprising talimogene laherparepvec are administered by intralesional injection. Talimogene laherparepvec is currently provided in 1 ml single-use vials in fixed dosage concentrations: 10 6 ufp / ml for initial dosage and 10 8 FFU / mL for subsequent dosing (Reske, et al. J Immunol, 2008. 180 (11): p. 7525-36). The volume injected may vary depending on the tumor type. For example, talimogen laherparepvec is administered by intratumoral injection in cutaneous, subcutaneous, and lymph node tumors at a dose of up to 4.0 mL of 10 6plaque-forming units / ml (PFU / ml) on day 1 of week 1 followed by a dose of up to 4.0 ml of 10 8 UFP / ml on day 1 of week 4 and every 2 weeks (± 3 days) thereafter. In another embodiment, talimogene laherparepvec is administered by intratumoral injection into injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and lymph node tumors at a dose of up to 4.0 ml of 10 6 plaque-forming units / ml (PFU / ml) on day 1 of week 1 followed by a dose of up to 4.0 ml of 10 7 UFP / ml on day 1 of week 4 and every 2 weeks (± 3 days) thereafter. The recommended volume of talimogen laherparepvec to be injected into the tumor or tumors depends on the size of the tumor or tumors and can be determined according to the injection volume guideline in Table 1 (and as shown in patent application PCT / US2013 / 057542, which is incorporated herein by reference). Table 1. Talimogene Laherparepvec injection volume guidelines based on tumor size Tumor size (longest dimension) Maximum injection volume > 5.0 cm 4.0 ml > 2.5 cm to 5.0 cm 2.0 ml > 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm 1.0 ml > 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm 0.5 ml < 0.5 cm 0.1 ml Generally, all reasonably injectable lesions should be injected with the maximum available dosage volume on a single dosing occasion. On each treatment day, it is recommended to prioritize injections as follows: any new injectable tumors that have appeared since the last injection; by tumor size, starting with the largest tumor; and any previously injectable tumors that are now injectable. The compositions of the present invention may comprise one or more additional components, including a physiologically acceptable vehicle, excipient, or diluent. For example, the compositions may comprise one or more of a buffer, an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid, a low molecular weight polypeptide (e.g., having fewer than 10 amino acids), a protein, an amino acid, a carbohydrate such as glucose, sucrose, or dextrins, a chelating agent such as EDTA or glutathione, a stabilizer, and an excipient. Acceptable diluents include, for example, neutral buffered saline or saline mixed with specific serum albumin. Preservatives such as benzyl alcohol may also be added. The composition may be formulated as a lyophilized powder using appropriate excipient solutions (e.g., sucrose) as diluents.

EXAMPLES The following examples are provided to illustrate specific embodiments or features of the present invention and are not intended to limit its scope. EXAMPLE 1 THE THALIMOGEN LAHERPAREPVEC EXHIBITS ANTITUMOR ACTIVITY AGAINST A RANGE OF TUMOR TYPES IN AN IN VIVO MOUSE MODEL This example demonstrates that administering the talimogene laherparepvec to tumor-bearing mice leads to tumor destruction. The antitumor efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec was evaluated in several mouse xenograft studies in Balb / c nude mice. Tumor cells (human pediatric Ewing sarcoma A-673, human pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma SJCRH30, human pediatric rhabdoid tumor G-401, human pediatric neuroblastoma SK-N-AS, or human pediatric osteosarcoma SJSA-1) were implanted into the right flank of each mouse by subcutaneous injection. In each case, 5 x 10 6 1x10 7 cells in 100-200 pl of 50% matrigel / 50% DMEM in mice. Tumor measurements were obtained twice weekly. Treatment with talimogene laherparepvec began when tumors reached an average diameter of 4–6 mm. Three doses of talimogene laherparepvec (5 x 10) were administered. 4 , 5x10 5, or 5x10 6 UFP / dose, dose volume of 50 pills) with three days between intratumoral injections. Body weights, general clinical observations, and tumor measurements were obtained twice weekly. Animals were euthanized when tumor weight exceeded 10% of body weight. In these experiments, the talimogene laherparepvec showed antitumor efficacy against all cell lines tested, with an inhibition of tumor growth of 65-112% and evidence of complete regression in 3-30% of animals across all tumor types. EWING SARCOMA Mice carrying Ewing sarcoma A-673 tumor were therapeutically treated with talimogene laherparepvec at 5x10 4 , 5x10 5 , or 5x10 6UFP / dose.

Talimogene laherparepvec was administered by intratumoral injection once daily on days 14, 17, and 20 of the study (Figure 3, red arrows). Tumors were measured 2–3 times per week. Results are expressed as the mean tumor volume of the group in mm³ 3 ± standard error of the mean as a function of time in days where day 0 is the day of tumor inoculation (n = 10 per group, except where indicated). The asterisk indicates p < 0.0001 for all talimogen laherparepvec dose groups with respect to the vehicle control on study day 40. The results are shown in Figure 3. OSTEOSARCOMA Mice carrying SJSA-1 osteosarcoma tumors were therapeutically treated with the talimogene laherparepvec at 5x10 4 , 5x10 5 , or 5x10 6 UFP / dose. Talimogene laherparepvec was administered by intratumoral injection once daily on days 9, 12, and 15 of the study (Figure 4, red arrows). Tumors were measured 2–3 times per week.

Talimogene laherparepvec was administered by intratumoral injection once daily on days 8, 11, and 14 of the study (Figure 5, red arrows). Tumors were measured 2–3 times per week. Results are expressed as the mean tumor volume of the group in mm³ 3 ± standard error of the mean as a function of time in days where day 0 is the day of tumor inoculation (n = 10 per group, except as indicated for the 5x10 group4 UFP / dose on days 26, 30 and 33 and for the 5x10 group 6 UFP / dose on days 30 and 33). The asterisk indicates p < 0.0001 for all talimogen laherparepvec dose groups with respect to vehicle control on day of 33 study 26 (the last day of study in which all control animals were in study). The results are shown in Figure 5. EXAMPLE 2 THE THALIMOGEN LAHERPAREPVEC INHIBITS THE GROWTH OF A RANGE OF HUMAN TUMOR TYPES IN CELL-BASED ASSAYS DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA (DLBCL OR DLBCL) Several LDCBG cell strains (SU-DHL-2, OCI-LY-3, TMD8, RI-1 (ABC subtype) and WSU-NHL (GCB subtype)) were cultured in a 96-well plate at 5,000 cells per well and incubated overnight at 37 eC. For each cell strain, talimogene laherparepvec was serially diluted (serial dilutions of 1:4) in nine wells, starting at an MOI of 100. After a 72-hour incubation, the number of remaining cells in each well was quantified using the CelITiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, Madison, Wl). The talimogene laherparepvec was effective in 14 of 21 DLBCL cell lines at an MOI below 100. Five cell lines (SU-DHL-2, OCI-LY-3, TMD8, RI-1 (ABC subtype), and WSU-NHL (GCB subtype)) showed the greatest sensitivity with an MOI IC50 of or below 1 (Table 2). Conversely, OCI-LY-1, KARPAS422, WSU-DLCL2, SU-DHL-4, SU-DHL-10, and OCI-LY-7 (all GCB subtypes) showed resistance to talimogene laherparepvec up to an MOI of 100 (Table 2). Cell growth inhibition was maximal in most cell strains that showed sensitivity to an MOI IC50 below 1.

For each cell strain, talimogene laherparepvec was serially diluted (1:4 serial dilutions) in nine wells, starting at an MOI of 100. After a 72-hour incubation, the number of remaining cells in each well was quantified using ATP-Lite (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA). Talimogene laherparepvec was effective against all 13 melanoma and carcinoma cell lines tested. All cell lines tested showed an MOI IC50 below 1 (Table 3). Figure 7 shows the degree of cell growth inhibition achieved by increasing talimogene laherparepvec concentrations in the HCT-116 (colorectal cancer) and SK-MEL-5 (melanoma) cell lines. These results demonstrate that treatment of melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, and triple-negative breast carcinoma cell lines with talimogene laherparepvec results in strong inhibition of tumor cell growth.

After a 72-hour incubation, the number of remaining cells in each well was quantified using ATP-Lite (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA). The talimogene laherparepvec was effective against all five cell lines tested (Table 4). Multiple myeloma cell lines showed greater sensitivity than cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell lines. Figure 8 shows the degree of cell growth inhibition achieved by increasing talimogene laherparepvec concentrations in the HUT-78 (LCLT) and RPMI 8226 (multiple myeloma) cell lines. These results demonstrate that the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell lines is effective against multiple myeloma.

For each cell strain, talimogene laherparepvec was serially diluted (serial dilutions of 1:4) in nine wells, starting at MOI of 100. After a 72-hour incubation, the number of remaining cells in each well was quantified using ATP-Lite (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA). The talimogene laherparepvec was effective against 4 of the 5 cell lines tested (Table 5). The melanoma cell line B16F10 demonstrated resistance to talimogene laherparepvec. This resistance is mediated by the lack of entry receptors for herpes simplex virus type 1, as previously described by Miller et al., Molecular Therapy, 3 (2): 160-168 (2001). The Cloudman CL M3 (melanoma), CT-26, and MC-38 (colorectal cancer) cell lines showed similar sensitivity, with an IC50 of MOI ~ 0.2. Figure 9 shows the degree of cell growth inhibition achieved by increasing talimogene laherparepvec concentrations in the CT-26 and MC-38 (colorectal cancer) cell lines.These results demonstrate that treatment of murine tumor cell lines (melanoma, colorectal carcinoma, and B-cell lymphoma) with talimogene laherparepvec results in strong inhibition of tumor cell growth.

Tumor volume (mm³) 3 The tumors were measured using electronic calipers twice a week (every two weeks). Once the tumors reached an average of approximately 100 mm3 Mice were randomized into groups (10 mice per group) so that the mean tumor volume (on both flanks) and the variability of tumor volume at baseline were uniform between treatment groups. Mice received three intratumoral injections of OncoVex. mGMCSF (3x10 4 - 3x10 6 UFP / dose) or vehicle on days 10, 13 and 16. Clinical signs, body weight changes and survival were measured (mice were removed from the study when tumors reached 800 mm 3 ) 2-3 times per week until the end of the study. The treatment of A20 tumor-bearing animals with OncoVex mGMCSF This resulted in 100% complete regression of all tumors injected directly at the three doses: 3x10 4 UFP, 3x10 5 UFP and 3x10 6UFP (Figure 10a). Contralateral tumors showed no response to the 3x10 dose 4 UFP, 50% inhibition of tumor growth at a dose of 3x10 5 UFP and 100% inhibition of tumor growth at a dose of 3x10 6 UFP (Figure 10b). Median survival increased significantly in the 3x10 dose groups 5 UFP (p = 0.0054) and 3x10 6 UFP (p = 0.0004) compared with the vehicle (38 days vs. 21 days, respectively – Figure 10c). No reduction in body weight was observed, indicating that the treatments under investigation were safe and tolerable (Figures 10d and 10e). Table 6 shows the percentage of subjects who were tumor-free in each group. In addition, mice carrying neuroblastoma neuro2a tumors were treated with OncoVex mGMCSF 5x10 4 , 5x10 5 , or 5x10 6 UFP / dose (n = 10 per group). It was administered OncoVex mGM CSF by intratumoral injection once daily on study days 10, 13, and 16 (Figure 101). Injected tumors were measured twice weekly. Results are presented as individual tumor volume in mm³ 3 based on time in days, where day 0 is the day of tumor inoculation. Median survival increased significantly in the 5x10 groups 4 UFP / dose (p = 0.0056), 5x10 5 UFP / dose (p <0.0001) and 5x10 6 UFP / dose (p <0.0001) compared to the vehicle (Figure 10g). The effect of treatment with OncoVex was also evaluated. mGMCSF on uninjected ("untreated") tumors in neuro2a neuroblastoma tumor-bearing mice. Neuro2a tumor cells were implanted subcutaneously in the right and left flanks of female A / J mice (1x10 6 cells) on day 0. Tumor volume (mm³) 3The tumors were measured using electronic calipers twice a week (every two weeks). Once the tumors reached an average of approximately 100 mm 3 Mice were randomized into groups (10 mice per group) so that the mean tumor volume (on both flanks) and the variability of tumor volume at baseline were uniform between treatment groups. Mice received three intratumoral injections of OncoVEX. mGMCSF (5x10 6 UFP / dose) or vehicle on days 10, 13, and 16 on the right side ("treatment" side). Tumor volume and survival (mice were withdrawn from the study when tumors reached 800 mm³) 3 on both sides) were measured twice a week until the end of the study (Figure 10h). Treatment of Neuro2a tumor-bearing animals with OncoVEX mGMCSFThis resulted in complete regression in 8 / 10 directly injected tumors (Figure 10h). Contralateral uninjected ("untreated") tumors showed marked retardation of tumor growth (Figure 10h). Median survival increased significantly in the OncoVEX-treated groups. mGM CSF , compared to the vehicle (32 days vs 18 days, p < 0.0001, Figure 10). These results demonstrate that the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and established neuroblastoma tumors with OncoVex mGMCSF In an in vivo mouse model, it resulted in strong inhibition of tumor growth. Antitumor activity was observed in directly injected tumors (presumably through oncolysis and immune response) and in contralateral, non-injected tumors in the same host (presumably through adaptive immune response).

The AH1 peptide is an immunodominant Ag derived from the envelope protein (gp70) of the endogenous murine leukemia virus presented by the L molecule d of MHC class I (25). Spots were numbered using a CTLS6 Fluorospot analyzer (CTL, Shaker Heights, OH).

Quantification of CD8 T lymphocytes + Local (tumor-mediated) anti-AH1 antibodies showed a significant increase only in the combination group. A significant decrease in Tregs was also observed in the CT-26 model. This effect was greater in combination with CTLA-4 blockade (Figure 12g). This experiment demonstrates that the combination of OncoVex mGM CSF and the anti-CTLA-4 blockade leads to an increase in the presence of effector cells and a decrease in the presence of regulatory T lymphocytes, which in turn leads to an increase in the effectiveness of the combination over any single compound.

The animals received three intratumoral injections of OncoVex. mGMCSF (5x10 6 UFP / dose), four intraperitoneal injections of anti-CTLA-4 mAb, a combination of three intratumoral injections of OncoVex mGM CSF (5x10 6 UFP / dose) with four intraperitoneal injections of anti-CTLA-4 mAb or vehicle alone. Clinical signs, body weight changes, and survival were measured (mice were withdrawn from the study). 45 when the tumors reached 800 mm 3 ) 2-3 times per week until the end of the study. Treatment of Nectin 1 B16F10 tumor-bearing mice with OncoVex mGM_ CSF or the combination of OncoVex mGMCSFand anti-CTLA-4 mAb resulted in ~85% and 99% inhibition of subcutaneous tumor growth, respectively. No inhibition was observed with anti-CTLA-4 mAb alone (Figure 13a). Assessment of lung metastasis burden showed that the combination of OncoVex mGMCSF and the anti-CTLA-4 mAb was significantly more effective than any treatment alone (p = 0.0008 vs OncoVex mGM_ CSF p = 0.0007 versus anti-CTLA-4 mAb) for inhibiting lung metastasis (Figure 13b). Median survival was significantly increased in the combination group compared to the vehicle group (p < 0.0001). Median survival was 30 days for the vehicle group and 46 days for the OncoVex group. mGM CSF plus anti-CTLA-4 mAb (Figure 13c and Table 9). Table 9.

These results also show that the combination of OncoVex mGMCSF The anti-CTLA-4 mAb shows a significantly more robust systemic antitumor effect compared to either treatment alone, as evidenced by the combination's ability to inhibit lung metastases. Antitumor activity was observed in directly injected tumors (presumably through oncolysis and immune response) and in contralateral, non-injected tumors in the same host (presumably through adaptive immune response). It was also observed that lung tumors in the vehicle groups, OncoVex mGM CSFAnd anti-CTLA-4 mAb showed uncommon T and B lymphocytes scattered at the tumor periphery and mild intratumoral macrophages. Interestingly, the tumors in the OncoVex combination group mGMCSF Anti-CTLA-4 mAbs showed prominent T lymphocytes in the periphery of the tumor, as well as T lymphocyte infiltration into the tumor in varying numbers. Macrophages were prominent both in the tumor and in the 46 dense cellular infiltrates in the periphery of the tumor. B cells remained exclusively in the periphery of the tumor (Figure 13d and data not shown). These results from lung tumor immune infiltration indicate that the combination of OncoVex mGMCSF and CTLA-4 blockade can convert poorly infiltrated B16F10 metastases (i.e., "cold" tumors) into well infiltrated B16F10 metastases (i.e., "hot" tumors). EXAMPLE 8 ONCOVEX mGM CSFINHIBITS THE GROWTH OF TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CARCINOMA TUMORS IN A MOUSE MODEL 4T1 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously into the right flanks of female BALB / c mice (2x10 6 cells) on day 0.

Doses of 5x10 4 and 5x10 5 from OncoVex mGM CSF They did not result in any medial inhibition of tumor growth (Figure 14). These results demonstrate that the treatment of established triple-negative breast carcinoma tumors with OncoVex mGMCSF It produces a strong inhibition of tumor growth. The antitumor activity was measured only in directly injected tumors. EXAMPLE 9 ONCOVEX mGMCSF, EITHER ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH A GITR AGONIST, INHIBITS THE GROWTH OF B-CELL LYMPHOMA TUMORS IN A MOUSE MODEL A20 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously into the right and left flanks of female BALB / c mice (2x10 6 cells) on day 0.

Clinical signs, body weight changes and survival were measured (mice were withdrawn from the study when tumors reached 800 mm 3 ) 2-3 times per week until the end of the study. Tumors treated with intraperitoneal anti-GITR mAb resulted in a 30% cure rate (both injected and contralateral). OncoVex mGMCSF It cured 6 / 10 (60%) of the injected tumors, while contralateral tumors showed a modest response with no cures. The OncoVex combination mGM CSF The anti-GITR mAb produced regression of all tumors (both injected and contralateral) and led to complete cures in 7 / 10 mice. See Figure 15a.

Median survival was 24 days for the vehicle group, 26 days for the OncoVex group mGM CSF and 43 for the anti-GITR mAb group. Median survival for the combination group remained indefinite after day 49, at which point 7 out of 10 mice showed no signs of tumor. See Figure 15b and Table 10. Table 10. Median Survival Group Tumor-Free Subjects Injected Tumor-Free Subjects Contralateral Control 24 0 / 10 0 / 10 OncoVex mGM_ CSF 3x10 5 UFP 26 6 / 10 0 / 10 mAb mGITR 100 ug 43 4 / 10 3 / 10 OncoVex mGM ' CSF + mAb undefined 8 / 10 7 / 10 mGITR These results demonstrate that the treatment of B-cell lantern tumors with OncoVex mGMCSF and a combination of the OncoVex group mGMCSF and anti-GITR mAb results in strong inhibition of tumor growth. EXAMPLE 10 STUDY EVALUATING THE ONCOVEX COMBINATION muGM CSF WITH PD-1 INHIBITION IN A MOUSE MODEL OF COLON (COLORRECTAL) ADENOCARCINOMA (MC-38) This study was designed to evaluate the tolerability and antitumor activity of OncoVex. muGM CSF PD-1 inhibition or the combination of OncoVex muGMCSF and PD-1 inhibition in an MC-38 mouse tumor model. C57BL / 6 mice were inoculated with syngeneic MC-38 tumor cells in the right and left flanks. Ten days post-inoculation, the tumors averaged 5 mm in diameter (60 mm²). 3 of tumor volume) and the animals were assigned to 6 groups (n = 10 / group). OncoVEX was administered. muGM CSF (5x106 UFP / dose) or buffered formulation control administered intratumorally to right-sided tumors once daily every three days for a total of three doses. Left-sided tumors did not receive injection. Anti-mouse PD-1 (clone RMP1-14, BioXCell) or isotype control antibody (rat IgG2a, clone 2A3, BioXCell) was administered intraperitoneally at 1 mg / dose or 300 pg / dose twice weekly, beginning on study day 10 and ending on study day 30 (7 doses administered). Tumor volumes of injected (right side) and non-injected (left side) tumors, body weight, and general clinical observations were collected 2–3 times weekly. Animals were euthanized if the total tumor volume (right + left) reached the IACUC mandatory cutoff of >10% of body weight or if the animals showed signs of distress. Peripheral blood was drawn on days 14 and 20 of the study (4 and 10 days, respectively, after the start of dosing) for immunophenotyping analysis.After red blood cell lysis, white blood cells were stained for the following markers: CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD49b (NK marker), FoxP3, GITR, PD-1 and PD-L1 and analyzed by flow cytometry. All animals survived throughout the experiment and showed no evidence of adverse health effects associated with the treatment, as evidenced by body weight (Figure 16a) or survival, and no adverse clinical signs were identified in the daily health check examinations. A slightly lower body weight in the treated groups compared to the control groups is attributed to more aggressive tumor growth in the control animals compared to the treated animals, as discussed below. Inhibition of tumor growth was observed in response to monotherapy treatment with the anti-mPD-1 antibody (at both test doses of 300 pg and 1 mg per dose) or with OncoVEX muGMCSF (Figure 16b). Table 11 summarizes the number of animals that were tumor-free (regressions) at the end of the experiment on the right (injected side) or left (non-injected side) flanks. While the activity of a single agent with either of the agents was limited to 10–20% complete regression in injected tumors (and no complete regression in non-injected tumors), the combination led to 80–90% regression in injected tumors (and complete regressions in 10–20% of non-injected tumors). These data indicate that combination therapy with OncoVEX muGMCSF and anti-PD-1 led to substantially improved tumor clearance in the MC-38 mouse tumor model. Table 11. Number of animals with complete regressions Group Injected Tumors Non-injected Tumors Vehicle + Isotype 0 / 10 0 / 10 OncoVEX muGMCSF + Isotype 2 / 10 0 / 10 Vehicle + anti-PD-1 (1 mg) 1 / 10 0 / 10 Vehicle + anti-PD-1 (300 pg) 1 / 10 0 / 10 OncoVEX muGMCSF + anti-PD-1 (1 mg) 8 / 10 2 / 10 OncoVEX muGM CSF + anti-PD-1 (300 pg) 9 / 10 1 / 10 These results demonstrate that OncoVex mGMCSF , either alone or in combination with PD-1 blockade, inhibits the growth of MC-38 colorectal tumors. EXAMPLE 11 ONCOVEX COMBINATION EVALUATION STUDY muGMCSF PD-L1 INHIBITION IN A MOUSE MODEL OF COLON (COLORRECTAL) ADENOCARCINOMA (MC-38) This study was designed to evaluate the tolerability and antitumor activity of OncoVEX muGMCSF PD-L1 inhibition or the combination of OncoVEX muGM CSF and PD-L1 inhibition in an MC-38 mouse tumor model. MC-38 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously into the right and left flanks of female C57BL / 6 mice on day 0. The tumor volume (mm³) 3 The tumors were measured using electronic calipers twice a week (every two weeks). Once the tumors reached an average of approximately 100 mm 3 The animals were randomized into 4 groups (10 mice per group) so that the average tumor volume (on both flanks) and the variability of tumor volume at the start of treatment administration were uniform between the treatment groups. OncoVex was administered. mGMCSF (5x10 6 UFP / dose) or formulation buffer control via intratumoral route (on the right side of the animal) every three days for a total of three injections, alone or in combination with 50 intraperitoneal injections of anti-PD-L1 mAb (MIH5 clone, mouse IgG1) or a control IgG1 (mAbs were administered four times in total). Uninjected tumors (contralateral; on the left side of the animal) were not injected. Clinical signs, body weight changes, and survival were measured (mice were removed from the study when tumors reached 800 mm²). 3 ) 2-3 times per week until the end of the study. All animals survived throughout the experiment and showed no evidence of adverse health effects associated with the treatment, as demonstrated by body weight, and no adverse clinical signs were identified in daily health check examinations. Inhibition of tumor growth was observed in response to monotherapy treatment with OncoVex. mGMCSF or anti-PD-L1 mAb in injected and contralateral tumors (Figure 17), while the combination of OncoVex mGMCSFand anti-PD-L1 mAb produced regression of all injected tumors and 7 out of 10 non-injected tumors (Figure 17). EXAMPLE 12 ONCOVEX COMBINATION EVALUATION STUDY muGMCSF WITH PD-1 INHIBITION IN A MOUSE MELANOMA TUMOR MODEL (B16F10) This study was designed to evaluate the tolerability and antitumor activity of OncoVEX muGM CSF PD-1 inhibition or the combination of OncoVEX muGM CSF and the inhibition of PD-1 in a B16F10 melanoma tumor model in mice. Genetically engineered B16F10 tumor cells expressing mNectin were injected subcutaneously into the right flank of female C57BL / 6 mice on day 0. The tumor volume (mm³) 3 The tumors were measured using electronic calipers twice a week (every two weeks). Once the tumors reached an average of approximately 100 mm 3The animals were randomized into 4 groups (10 mice per group) so that the mean tumor volume and tumor volume variability at the start of treatment were uniform across the treatment groups. OncoVex was administered. mGM CSF (5x10 6 UFP / dose) or buffered formulation control intratumorally three times every three days, alone or in combination with intraperitoneal injection of anti-PD-1 mAb (Clone 29F1A12, mouse IgG1) or an IgG1 control (mAbs were dosed four times in total). Clinical signs, body weight changes, and survival were measured (mice were withdrawn from the study when tumors reached 800 mm²). 3 ) 2-3 times per week until the end of the study. All animals survived throughout the experiment and showed no evidence of adverse health effects associated with the treatment, as demonstrated by body weight, and no adverse clinical signs were identified in daily health check examinations. Inhibition of tumor growth was observed in response to monotherapy treatment with OncoVex monotherapy. mGMCSF (3 out of 10 mice showed tumor regression), while monotherapy with anti-PD-1 mAb had no inhibitory effect on tumor growth (Figure 18). The OncoVex combination mGMCSF and anti-PD-1 mAb produced regression in 5 out of 10 injected tumors (Figure 18), demonstrating that the combination of OncoVex mGM CSF and anti-PD-1 mAb has superior antitumor activity compared to monotherapy. EXAMPLE 13 MULTICENTER, UNBLINDED, PHASE 1 DOSE REDUCTION STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF TALIMOGEN LAHERPAREPVEC IN PEDIATRIC SUBJECTS WITH ADVANCED NON-CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUMORS WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIRECT INJECTION This example describes a phase 1, multicenter, open-label dose-tapping study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Talimogene Laherparepvec in pediatric subjects with advanced non-central nervous system tumors who are amenable to direct injection. See the U.S. National Institutes of Health website (clinicaltrials.gov), study identifier: NCT 02756845 (incorporated herein by reference). The main objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of talimogene laherparepvec, evaluated by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), in pediatric subjects with advanced non-Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors who are susceptible to direct injection. The talimogene laherparepvec will be administered to approximately 18 to 36 pediatric subjects with advanced non-CNS tumors who are amenable to direct injection. The pediatric subjects will generally be enrolled in cohorts stratified by age and baseline herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) serologic status (3 to 6 subjects / cohort). TLDs will be assessed based on 3 to 6 subjects evaluable for TLDs within each cohort. The primary outcome measure is to determine the safety and tolerability of talimogene laherparepvec, as assessed by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), in pediatric subjects with advanced non-central nervous system (CNS) tumors amenable to direct injection. Secondary outcome measures are (1) to assess the antitumor activity of the talimogene laherparepvec, evaluated by overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DDR), time to response (TDR), time to progression (TDP), progression-free survival (PFS) using modified immune-related response criteria that mimic response assessment criteria in solid tumors (CRri-CERETS), and overall survival (OS), and (2) to assess the association between 52 granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptors / subunits in archived tumor tissue and clinical outcomes (safety endpoints and efficacy endpoints such as TRG, DDR, TDR, TDP, SSP and SG).

Therefore, the anticipated eligible tumor types for this study are as follows: • Bone sarcoma: Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma • Soft tissue sarcoma: Rhabdomyosarcoma and non-rhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcoma • Neuroblastoma • Melanoma The first dose of talimogene laherparepvec will be up to 4.0 ml of 10 6 UFP / ml administered on day 1. The second injection, up to 4.0 ml of 10 8 UFP / ml (or up to 4.0 ml of 10 6UFP / ml for a reduced-dose cohort), will be administered 21 (+3) days after the initial injection (i.e., not earlier than day 22, but should not be delayed more than 3 days past the 21-day time point). All subsequent injections, up to 4.0 ml of 10 8 UFP / ml (or up to 4.0 ml of 10 6UFP / ml (for a reduced-dose cohort) will be administered every 14 (± 3) days.

The recommended volume of talimogene laherparepvec to be injected into the tumor(s) depends on the size of the tumor(s) and will be determined according to the injection volume guideline in Table 12. It is recommended that each lesion receive the maximum possible amount to be injected, given the tumor's characteristics, at each visit before proceeding to the next lesion, using the prioritization model below and the injection volume guideline based on tumor size. Table 12.

Any new injectable tumor that has appeared since the last injection. 2. By tumor size, starting with the largest tumor 3. Any tumor previously seen during tumor assessment that was too small to inject and has now become large enough to inject Subjects will be treated with talimogene laherparepvec until they have achieved a complete response (CR), no injectable tumors are present, progressive disease (PD) is confirmed by modified CRri-CERETS, study treatment intolerance occurs, 24 months have passed since the date of the first dose of talimogene laherparepvec, alternative cancer therapy is required, or the study is completed, whichever occurs first. Due to the mechanism of action, subjects may experience growth in existing tumors or the development of new tumors before the maximum clinical benefit of talimogene laherparepvec is reached. Therefore, modified CRri-CERETS will be used to assess response.
