Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating a disease characterised by aberrant cell proliferation (e.g., a cancer) in a human subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to treating the above conditions by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent that increases activation of a receptor of at least one type II interferon and/or type I interferon, and administering to the subject at least one agent that inhibits the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway (e.g., Vismodegib). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, including controlled release pharmaceutical compositions, containing at least one agent that increases activation of a receptor of at least one type II interferon and/or type I interferon (e.g., a checkpoint inhibitor), an inhibitor of Hh signalling pathway, and a controlled release matrix such as a SiO2 matrix gel.

Abstract: Provided are methods of treating skin cancer in an individual in need thereof by administering to the individual vismodegib and a replication-deficient type 5 adenovirus for expression of interferon gamma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer in a human subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to treating a cancer by administering a recombinant virus which expresses one or more biotherapeutic agents in a subject, and administering to the subject a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent. The invention further relates to method for treating cancer by administering a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent and a caspase inhibitor, and, optionally, also administering a recombinant virus expressing one or more biotherapeutic agents in the subject. The invention also relates to a method for treating cancer by administering purified interferon gamma to a subject and administering to the subject a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to recombinant adenoviral pharmaceutical formulations. More particularly, the present invention relates to SiO2-gel-based controlled release recombinant adenoviral pharmaceutical formulations.
