  • Publication number: 20190315825
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant virus of the family Paramyxoviridae, comprising at least one expressible polynucleotide encoding an IL-12 polypeptide, wherein said IL-12 polypeptide is an IL-12 fusion polypeptide comprising a p35 subunit of an IL-12 and a p40 subunit of an IL-12; to a polynucleotide encoding the same, and to a kit comprising the same. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for treating cancer in a subject afflicted with cancer, comprising contacting said subject with a recombinant virus of the family Paramyxoviridae of the invention, and thereby, treating cancer in a subject afflicted with cancer.

  • Publication number: 20190099461
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant virus of the family Paramyxoviridae, comprising at least one expressible polynucleotide encoding a multispecific binding polypeptide, said multispecific binding polypeptide comprising a first binding domain binding to a surface molecule of an immune cell with antitumor activity, preferably a lymphocyte, more preferably a T cell or a dendritic cell, and a second binding domain binding to a tumor-associated antigen; to a polynucleotide encoding the same, and to a kit comprising the same. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for treating cancer in a subject afflicted with cancer, comprising contacting said subject with a recombinant virus of the family Paramyxoviridae of the invention, and thereby, treating cancer in a subject afflicted with cancer.

  • Publication number: 20110142811
    Abstract: The present invention concerns recombinant measles virus as a therapeutic, in particular a recombinant measles virus comprising a suicide gene in its genome, a mutated viral hemagglutinin, and a specificity domain specifically recognizing a cancer antigen. Furthermore, it relates to a polynucleotide coding for such a recombinant measles virus and a vector comprising said polynucleotide. The current invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of and a medicament comprising said recombinant measles virus, as well as a method for treating a solid tumor using said recombinant measles virus.
