Oncolytic viral therapies and immunotherapies are of growing clinical interest due to their selectivity for tumor cells over healthy cells and their immunostimulatory properties. These treatment modalities provide promising alternatives to the standard of care, particularly for cancers with poor prognoses, such as the lethal brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). However, uncertainty remains regarding optimal dosing strategies, including how the spatial location of viral doses impacts therapeutic efficacy and tumor landscape characteristics that are most conducive to producing an effective immune response. We develop a three-dimensional agent-based model (ABM) of GBM undergoing treatment with a combination of an oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus and an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. We use a mechanistic approach to model the interactions between distinct populations of immune cells, incorporating both innate and adaptive immune responses to oncolytic viral therapy and including a mechanism of adaptive immune suppression via the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint pathway. We utilize the spatially explicit nature of the ABM to determine optimal viral dosing in both the temporal and spatial contexts. After proposing an adaptive viral dosing strategy that chooses to dose sites at the location of highest tumor cell density, we find that, in most cases, this adaptive strategy produces a more effective treatment outcome than repeatedly dosing in the center of the tumor.

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide comprehensive information of oncolytic viral therapy, from the origin to present scenario.Methods: This observational study was conducted by the Department of Pharmacology, Saveetha Medical College, Chennai between July and December 2016. Date regarding ongoing oncolytic virotherapy trials was retrieved from clinical trial database, United States and Clinical trial registry forum, India. Tamilnogene approval details were obtained from the US-Food and Drug Administration approval new drug approval information.Results: Eleven ongoing trials in Phase I and Ia are being carried out, of which 4 viral strains such as herpes, adenovirus, measles, and reovirus are used for intracerebral malignancies. Four trials have shown superior effects and seven trial results are yet to be completed.Conclusion: Oncolytic viral therapy can be as effective as targeted therapy in battling against cancer; however, long-term efficacy and safety should be established from more studies and meta-analysis.
