Publication number: 20080081032Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing pain associated with neoplasms in a mammal, comprising administering an effective amount of one or more oncolytic viruses. Preferably, the mammal also receives an analgesic, and the amount of analgesic required by the mammal is reduced when the oncolytic virus is administered. The oncolytic virus is preferably reovirus. The mammal may be additionally subject to other therapies, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal and/or radiation therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: Oncolytics Biotech Inc.Inventors: Donald Morris, Matthew Coffey, Bradley Thompson

Publication number: 20080075729Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods for preventing reovirus recognition in the treatment of cellular proliferative disorders, and particularly ras-mediated cellular proliferative disorders, in mammals. The mammal may be selected from dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, pigs, mice, humans and non-human primates. The method comprises suppressing or otherwise inhibiting the immune system of the mammal and, concurrently or subsequently, administering to the proliferating cells an effective amount of one or more reoviruses under conditions which result in substantial lysis of the proliferating cells. In particular, the methods provide for reovirus treatment of immunosuppressed or immuno-deficient mammals to treat the proliferative disorders. Immunosuppression, immunoinhibition or otherwise inducing an immunodeficient state in a mammal renders the reovirus more effective.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2007Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: Oncolytics Biotech Inc.Inventors: Matthew Coffey, Bradley Thompson

Publication number: 20080014577Abstract: The present invention provides a method of diagnosing neoplasms having a particular phenotype by using oncolytic viruses that selectively replicate in neoplasms having the particular phenotype. For example, reovirus does not replicate in normal cells. However, reovirus selectively replicate in cells with an activated ras pathway, which leads to death of these cells. Therefore, a cell which becomes neoplastic due to, at least in part, elevated ras pathway activities can be diagnosed by its susceptibility to reovirus replication. This invention can further be applied, using other oncolytic viruses, to the diagnosis and/or treatment of other tumors, such as interferon-sensitive tumors, p53-deficient tumors and Rb-deficient tumors. Kits useful in the diagnosis or treatment disclosed herein are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: Oncolytics Biotech Inc.Inventors: Bradley Thompson, Matthew Coffey
