"Our study shows that lysovirus is a powerful way to target solid tumors more effectively in combination with CAR-T cell therapy.
Saul Priceman, one of the authors of the study, said: "This treatment platform addresses two major challenges that make it difficult to treat solid tumors with immunotherapy.
, on solid tumors, there are limited targets suitable for T-cells with CAR redirection.
second, solid tumors are surrounded by the micro-environment of so-called immunosuppressive tumors, which do not work effectively when a CAR-T cell tries to enter the tumor, survive and kill the cancer cells.
lysolysed tumor virus can break through this barrier.
" study is also used as a cover story for Science Translational Medicine (Photo: Science Translational Medicine; Credit: A. K. PARK, S.I. KIM, S. J. PRICEMAN/City of Hope In this preclinical study, scientists cleverly equipped CAR-T cells with "drivers" for entering solid tumors using lysovirus.
genetically engineered a tumor-soluble virus to enter tumor cells, forcing them to express a cut-off CD19 (CD19t) on the surface.
trials have shown that the lysolytic virus, known as OV19t, can work in triple-negative breast cancer cell lineages as well as in pancreatic, prostate, ovarian and head and neck cancer, and brain tumor cells.

tests conducted in in-body experiments and various mouse tumor models showed that CD19t was expressed in tumor cells much faster than viruses killed them, creating a time window for CAR-T cells targeting CD19.
cells that are killed by the virus release additional copies of the virus and transmit them to neighboring tumor cells, making them targets for CAR-T cells.
, the combination of lysovirus and CAR-T cells creates a powerful synergistic effect.
, after using this combination therapy to eradicate solid tumors, mice showed long-term protective anti-tumor immunity, and the immune system established a memory response to tumors.
this result means that this combined treatment will help prevent recurrence.
researchers say they are now designing clinical trials to test the combination in patients.
of course they will first test the safety of OV19t in solid tumor patients.
if it is proven to be safe and effective, then lysovirus and CAR-T cell therapy can be tested in turn.
is expected to begin in 2022.
