Breast cancer is one the most common cause of cancer death in women worldwide. We report here the first phase II study investigating a virus genetically engineered for tumor-selective replication in patients with breast cancer. Ten patients were treated with a combination of low-dose oral cyclophosphamide and intra-venous JX-594, a thymidine kinase gene-inactivated oncolytic vaccinia virus engineered for the expression of transgenes encoding human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and β-galactosidase. Best response as per RECIST criteria was stable disease for 2 patients and progressive disease for 8 patients. Median progression-free and overall survival were 1.6 months (95% CI: [1.1-1.9]) and 14.4 months (95% CI: [2.0 - NA]) respectively. High throughput analysis of sequential plasma samples revealed an upregulation of protein biomarkers reflecting immune induction such as IFN gamma. Whether the combination of JX-594 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor is associated with meaningful clinical activity is therefore worth to investigate.< Réduire
