Preclinical investigation of immunotherapeutic efficacy and safety of a novel oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus expressing extracellular matrix-destructing enzymes in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to bioengineer a novel vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) to express extracellular matrix (ECM) destructing enzymes to overcome desmoplastic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment and assess the oncolytic virus (OVs’) therapeutic safety and efficacy as monotherapy and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in preclinical settings. This effectiveness will be investigated in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo.
