Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating cancer with a combination of neural stem cells (NSCs) and an oncolytic virus or a combination of oncolytic virotherapy and immune modulation. The method entails administrating to a subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of NSCs and an oncolytic virus, and/or NSCs packaged with one or more immunomodulatory viruses expressing one or more immunity checkpoint inhibitors, including adaptive immunity checkpoint inhibitors and innate immunity checkpoint inhibitors. The immunity checkpoint inhibitors include shRNAs against the immunity checkpoint proteins. The cancer includes but is not limited to primary, recurrent, and metastatic brain cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating cancer with a combination of neural stem cells (NSCs) and a replication-competent oncolytic virus such as conditionally replication-competent chimeric orthopoxvirus (CF33). The cancer includes but is not limited to primary, recurrent, and metastatic brain cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.
