Oncolytic viruses, such as oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV), are a new class of cancer therapeutic, which selectively replicate and kill cancer cells, while inducing an inflammatory microenvironment, immunovirotherapy. Recently, an oHSV (talimogene laherparepvec) has been approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma. Glioblastoma (GBM) is an almost always lethal primary tumor in the brain that is highly immunosuppressive, and posited to contain GBM stem-like cells (GSCs). Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized therapy for some cancers, but not GBM. We have used a syngeneic GSC-derived orthotopic GBM model (005) to develop immunotherapeutic strategies. Curative therapy required oHSV expressing IL-12 in combination with two checkpoint inhibitors, anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4. This response required CD4 + and CD8 + T cells, and macrophages in a complex interplay.
