How Creative Biolabs Can Assist Your Project?

Many researchers face challenges in developing effective cancer immunotherapies, including limited single-agent treatment efficacy, difficulties in achieving sustained anti-tumor responses, and coordinating multiple therapies. Our Oncolytic Virotherapy Development for Combination Therapy with Cytokines addresses these issues. By leveraging advanced vector engineering and comprehensive preclinical validation, we harness the synergistic effects of oncolytic viruses and cytokines to enhance the potency and durability of cancer immunotherapies.

Creative Biolabs provides a full range of services to support oncolytic virotherapy development projects from concept to preclinical validation. We offer customized solutions tailored to specific research needs, helping to accelerate the journey towards clinical success.

Workflow

Required Starting Materials Vector Design and Construction
This includes, but is not limited to, providing the following information:
Tumor cell lines or patient-derived xenografts (PDX models).
Cytokine gene sequences of interest (IL-17, IL-12, IFN-γ, etc.).
Specific therapeutic transgene(s) of interest (e.g., checkpoint inhibitors).
Our expert team designs and constructs oncolytic viruses based on your specific requirements, including virus backbone selection, transgene insertion, and optimization of viral infectivity and replication.
In Vitro Validation In Vivo Efficacy Studies
The engineered oncolytic viruses are rigorously tested in vitro to assess their tumor-selective cytotoxicity, transgene expression, and ability to enhance cytokine production. Creative Biolabs conducts preclinical in vivo studies using relevant tumor models to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the oncolytic virus and its combination with cytokine therapy. This includes assessing tumor growth inhibition, survival rates, and immune response modulation.
Safety and Toxicology Studies Data Analysis and Reporting
Comprehensive safety and toxicology studies are performed to evaluate the potential adverse effects of the oncolytic virus and the combination therapy, ensuring that the therapy is safe and well-tolerated. Creative Biolabs provides detailed reports and data analysis, including statistical analysis, graphical representation of results, and interpretation of findings.
Final Deliverables Estimated Timeframe
Detailed study reports, including protocols, methodologies, and results.
Raw and processed data from in vitro and in vivo experiments.
Optimized oncolytic virus constructs products.
The typical timeframe for this service ranges from 12 to 20 weeks, depending on the complexity of the oncolytic virus design, the specific requirements of the in vivo models, and the scope of the study.

Introduction

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) represent a highly promising category of cancer treatments that selectively multiply within and eliminate tumor cells. In recent years, the advancement of OVs for cancer immunotherapy has attracted substantial interest. A multitude of preclinical and clinical investigations have illustrated their considerable potential.

Oncolytic Virotherapy Development for Combination Therapy with Cytokines

Combining oncolytic virotherapy with cytokines is a synergistic cancer immunotherapy approach. Oncolytic viruses modify the tumor microenvironment to promote anti-tumor immune responses, and cytokines, which are signaling proteins essential for immune modulation, further strengthen these responses. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-12 and GM-CSF can enhance T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, showcasing the great potential of this combined treatment.
