Title:
ONCOLYTIC VIRUS WITH IMPROVED SAFETY AND ANTICANCER EFFECTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/263059
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oncolytic virus with improved safety and anticancer effects, and a use thereof. The oncolytic virus with improved safety and anticancer effects according to the present invention can express an HSV-TK fragment which contains an effector domain composed of a minimum amino acid sequence capable of phosphorylating GCV or ACV while having no thymidine kinase (TK) activity, or a variant thereof to phosphorylate GCV or ACV, thereby killing cancer cells infected with the oncolytic virus and even neighboring cancer cells. In addition, GCV or ACV is involved in the suppression of viral proliferation and thus, can regulate virus-induced side effects even upon the administration of a high dose of the virus. Furthermore, an anticancer effect is increased even though the number of viral particles is reduced due to suppression of GCV against viral proliferation. Therefore, the oncolytic virus with improved safety and anticancer effects according to the present invention can be advantageously used for treating cancer.
