    Abstract Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) has shown promise as an oncolytic virus for treatment of a wide range of tumours. NDV with a multi-basic cleavage site (MBCS) in the fusion (F) protein (NDV F3aa) has increased oncolytic efficacy in several tumour models, but also increased virulence in chickens compared to non-virulent NDV F0, raising potential environmental safety issues. Previously, we generated a variant of NDV F3aa with a disrupted V protein gene and a substitution of phenylalanine to serine at position 117 of the F protein (NDV F3aa-S-STOPV). Compared to NDV F3aa this virus had decreased virulence in embryonated chicken eggs. In this study, the virulence of the virus was evaluated upon inoculation of six-week-old chickens through a natural infection route and by determination of the intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI). Based on these data NDV F3aa-S-STOPV classified as a non-virulent virus. Although NDV F3aa was classified as a virulent virus based on the ICPI, the virus was also less pathogenic than NDV F0 upon inoculation of six-week-old chickens. These data indicate that NDV with a MBCS is not necessarily pathogenic in chickens. In addition, these data show that F3aa-S-STOPV is safe to use in viro-immunotherapies without posing a threat for chickens upon accidental exposure.

    Abstract Oncolytic virus immunotherapy is rapidly gaining interest in the field of immunotherapy against cancer. The minimal toxicity upon treatment and the dual activity of direct oncolysis and immune activation make therapy with oncolytic viruses (OVs) an interesting treatment modality. The safety and efficacy of several OVs have been assessed in clinical trials and, so far, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved one OV. Unfortunately, most treatments with OVs have shown suboptimal responses in clinical trials, while they appeared more promising in preclinical studies, with tumours reducing after immune cell influx. In several clinical trials with OVs, parameters such as virus replication, virus-specific antibodies, systemic immune responses, immune cell influx into tumours and tumour-specific antibodies have been studied as predictors or correlates of therapy efficacy. In this review, these studies are summarized to improve our understanding of the determinants of the efficacy of OV therapies in humans and to provide insights for future developments in the viro-immunotherapy treatment field.

    Abstract Oncolytic viruses (OVs), viruses that specifically result in killing tumor cells, represent a promising class of cancer therapy. Recently, the focus in the OV therapy field has shifted from their direct oncolytic effect to their immune stimulatory effect. OV therapy can function as a "kick start" for the antitumor immune response by releasing tumor associated antigens and release of inflammatory signals. Combining OVs with immune modulators could enhance the efficacy of both immune and OV therapies. Additionally, genetic engineering of OVs allows local expression of immune therapeutics, thereby reducing related toxicities. Different options to modify the tumor microenvironment in combination with OV therapy have been explored. The possibilities and obstacles of these combinations will be discussed in this review.
