あらすじ・解説
Oncolytic viruses thrive in cancer cells and can replicate rapidly, destroying the cells and enabling the immune system to attack tumours. This week, we interview Dr Malcolm McColl and Prof Darren Shafren, a dynamic duo in Australian biotechnology and part of the leadership team of ImmVirx, a viral oncolytic company. Prior to creating ImmVirx, they successfully launched the product Cavatak, used in melanoma and other malignancies.
ImmVirx has developed a proprietary bio-selected RNA virus that is showing promising pre-clinical and phase 1 results as monotherapy in hard-to-treat cancers, including colorectal, gastric hepatocellular and ovarian cancers.
