Outline of Final Research Achievements

Malignant gliomas are among the most common types of brain tumor, and the prognosis remains extremely poor. Oncolytic viral therapy is expected as a new treatment modality for malignant glioma. In this study, we tried to produce a new oncolytic virus with powerful effect for glioma therapy by passaging virus in vivo instead of genetically engineering. Passaged viruses are not more toxic, and it suggests that passaged viruses could be more effective for glioma therapy than parent strains. We intend to continue this study to accumulate data.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

他臓器の悪性腫瘍において、非常に効果的な治療法が開発されている一方で、悪性グリオーマの予後は集学的治療を行っても、依然として極めて不良である。腫瘍溶解性ウイルスは悪性グリオーマに対する新たな治療法として期待されているが、より強力な腫瘍溶解性ウイルスが開発されれば、悪性グリオーマの新規治療法として、研究や臨床においてbreakthroughになりうる。
