Enadenotucirev is an investigational oncolytic virus that is in clinical trials for various cancers.[1]

Enadenotucirev
Virus classification
(unranked): Virus
Realm: Varidnaviria
Kingdom: Bamfordvirae
Phylum: Preplasmiviricota
Class: Tectiliviricetes
Order: Rowavirales
Family: Adenoviridae
Genus: Mastadenovirus
Species:
Human mastadenovirus B

It is an oncolytic A11/Ad3 Chimeric Group B Adenovirus, previously described as ColoAd1.[2]

Enadenotucirev has also been modified with additional genes using the tumor-specific immuno-gene therapy (T-SIGn) platform to develop novel cancer gene therapy agents.

The T-SIGn vectors at clinical study stage are:

  • NG-350A: This vector contains two transgenes expressing the heavy and light chains for a secreted CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody.
  • NG-641: This vector contains four transgenes expressing secreted Interferon alpha, the chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10 and an anti-FAP/anti-CD3 bispecific T-cell activator

In Jan 2015 the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Orphan Medical Products (COMP) designated enadenotucirev as an orphan medicinal product for the treatment of ovarian cancer.[3]

Clinical trials

Two clinical trials have been completed with enadenotucirev. The EVOLVE study [4] and the MOA study.[5]

As of June 2019, there are two active phase 1 trials: OCTAVE (in ovarian cancer)[6] and SPICE (in multiple solid tumor indications) [7]

Of the T-SIGn viruses, NG-350A has an ongoing clinical study.[8]
