More: http://www.virttu.com . How oncolytic viruses work to kill cancer cells in melanoma, head and neck, prostate cancer and glioblastoma brain timours. Replication of oncolytic viruses inside tumours. Pre-clinical trials. Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials on oncolytics. Use of oncolytic viruses to treat advanced malignant melanoma and mestatases -- Amgen research using an oncolytic virus developed from HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus). Problems with traditional chemotherapy -- side effects. Why Amgen bought an oncolytic viruse for $500m in cash and $500m to be paid if oncolytic trials are fully successful. Investor interest in oncolytic viruses. Lessons from the history of research and development in monoclonal antibodies in cancer treatment. Why targeted cancer therapy -- a so-called "magic bullet" is so needed. How oncolytic viruses have been modified so that they cannot replicate in normal cells, but are still able to divide in a wide variety of human cancer cells. History of oncolytic viruses. Arming oncolytic viruses. Using viruses like Seprehvir (HSV-1716), adapted to carry an additional payload extra genes which teach infected cancer cells to take up a compound containing radioactive iodine from the blood, delivering a micro-dose of radiation inside individual cancer calls. Or adding a gene which teaches cancer cells how to split a harmless pro-drug into two, inside the cell, releasing a very toxic chemo (alkylating agent).
