Abstract
How can we transform an immune desert into a 'hot tumor' that is prone to respond to anti-programmed death (PD)-1 immunotherapy? This might be possible by injecting an oncolytic virus, engineered to induce local immune stimulation, prior to anti-PD-1 therapy. A recent study demonstrated that this combination - evaluated in a Phase Ib metastatic melanoma clinical study - yields promising results.Entities:
