Oncolytic Virus
An oncolytic virus is a virus that preferentially infects and kills cancer cells. As the infected cancer cells are destroyed by oncolysis, they release new infectious virus particles or virions to help destroy the remaining tumor. Oncolytic Virus Therapy is an exciting, increasingly recognized discipline in cancer research. Although the connection between viruses and cancer regression was recognized in the early 20th century, it wasn’t until the recent development of advanced genetic engineering techniques that true progress has been made using virotherapy to attack and destroy cancer cells. Today, researchers can modify existing viruses to create new oncolytic viruses that are less susceptible to immune suppression while more specifically targeting particular classes of cancer cells. Additionally, these modified oncolytic viruses can be adapted to insert and express cancer-suppressing genes and diagnostic proteins.

To date, two genetically engineered oncolytic viruses have been approved for marketing as drugs. One is Oncorine (H101, the same construct as ONYX‐015),9 an E1B‐deleted adenovirus, which was approved in China for head and neck cancer and esophagus cancer in 2005. The use and clinical data of Oncorine is so far limited to China. The other is T‐Vec (talimogene laherparepvec, IMLYGIC, formerly OncoVEXGM‐CSF), which was approved for melanoma by the FDA in the USA in October 2015 and was subsequently approved in Europe in January 2016 and in Australia in May 2016. For developing product, there are 3 products in Phase 3, 8 products in Phase 2, 7 products in Phase 1 and 3 products in Preclinical. Market competition is intense. Amgen, Shanghai Sunway Biotech, Oncolytics Biotech, Viralytics, Transgene SA are the leading developers in the industry; with high investment in research marketing and they will monopoly position in the industry.
