Abstract

Provided is a recombinant oncolytic virus composition, comprising a first recombinant oncolytic virus and a second recombinant oncolytic virus. Both the first and second recombinant oncolytic viruses comprise a herpes simplex virus vector and an exogenous gene, the exogenous gene is encoded from one of cytokine, a monoclonal antibody having a tumor preventative and/or treatment function, tumor antigens, prodrug invertase, tumor suppressor polypeptide, antisense RNA or small RNA, wherein the exogenous genes in the first and the second recombinant oncolytic viruses are different. Also provided is an application of the recombinant oncolytic virus composition in preparation of a medicament drug for treating tumors.

Claims (15)

1. A recombinant oncolytic virus composition, characterized in that the composition comprises:

a first herpes simplex virus vector 1 (HSV-1) with a deletion of the genes encoding ICP34.5 and ICP47 and a first exogenous gene inserted in a position where the gene encoding ICP34.5 is deleted; wherein the first exogenous gene is selected from the group consisting of a gene encoding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a gene encoding Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and a gene encoding Interleukin-12 (IL-12); and

a second herpes simplex virus vector 1 (HSV-1) with a deletion of the genes encoding ICP34.5 and ICP47 and a second exogenous gene inserted in a position where the gene encoding ICP34.5 is deleted; wherein the second exogenous gene is a gene encoding cytokine GM-CSF, or a gene encoding a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blocking monoclonal antibody,

wherein, the first herpes simplex virus vector and the second herpes simplex virus vector are the same or different from each other, and the selected first exogenous gene is different from the selected second exogenous gene; and

wherein, in terms of pfu, if the second exogenous gene is a gene encoding a cytokine, the mixing ratio of the first recombinant oncolytic virus to the second recombinant oncolytic virus is 0.5:1-1:0.5, if the second exogenous gene is a gene encoding a monoclonal antibody, the mixing ratio of the first recombinant oncolytic virus to the second recombinant oncolytic virus is 1:1-1:4.

2. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising the recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. A product or kit, comprising a vial containing the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 and a package insert with information related to the use of the pharmaceutical composition.

4. A method for treating a tumor in a subject, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of the recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 .

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the tumor is selected from at least one of the group consisting of brain glioma, melanoma, liver cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, lymphoma, and sarcoma.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma or an osteosarcoma.

7. The recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 , wherein the first exogenous gene is GM-CSF and the second exogenous gene is a PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody.

8. The recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 , wherein the first exogenous gene is IL-2 and the second exogenous gene is a PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody.

9. The recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 , wherein the first exogenous gene is IL-12 and the second exogenous gene is a PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody.

10. The recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 , wherein the first exogenous gene is IL-2 and the second exogenous gene is GM-CSF.

11. The recombinant oncolytic virus composition of claim 1 , wherein the first exogenous gene is IL-12 and the second exogenous gene is GM-CSF.
