As the infected cancer cells are destroyed by oncolysis, they release new infectious virus particles or virions to help destroy the remaining tumour. Oncolytic viruses are thought not only to cause direct destruction of the tumour cells, but also to stimulate host anti-tumour immune system responses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncolytic_virusFirst patient dosed in trial of cancer-killing virusCity of Hope and Imugene Limited, a clinical stage immuno-oncology company, today announced that the first patient was dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety of novel cancer-killing virus CF33-hNIS VAXINIA when used in people with advanced solid tumors.https://www.cityofhope.org/first-patient-dosed-trial-cancer-killing-virusCancer-killing virus injected into human for the first timeA recent clinical trial has started evaluating the safety and tolerability of a novel therapy involving a virus that can infect and kill human cancer cells .
