- 1 October 2012
Promising clinical results have been achieved with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as ipilimumab and tremelimumab that block cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4, CD152). However,… Expand
Treatment of cancer patients with a serotype 5/3 chimeric oncolytic adenovirus expressing GMCSF.

- 1 October 2010
Augmenting antitumor immunity is a promising way to enhance the potency of oncolytic adenoviral therapy. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) can mediate antitumor effects by… Expand
Targeting adenovirus to the serotype 3 receptor increases gene transfer efficiency to ovarian cancer cells.
- A. Kanerva, G. Mikheeva, +9 authors D. Curiel
- Biology, Medicine
- Clinical cancer research : an official journal of…
- 2002
Gene delivery efficiency in clinical cancer gene therapy trials with recombinant adenoviruses (Ads) based on serotype 5 (Ad5) has been limited partly because of variable expression of the primary Ad5… Expand
Immunological effects of low-dose cyclophosphamide in cancer patients treated with oncolytic adenovirus.
- V. Cerullo, I. Diaconu, +18 authors Akseli Hemminki
- Medicine
- Molecular therapy : the journal of the American…
- 1 September 2011
Patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to and progressing after conventional therapies were treated with three different regimens of low-dose cyclophosphamide (CP) in combination with… Expand
Enhanced therapeutic efficacy for ovarian cancer with a serotype 3 receptor-targeted oncolytic adenovirus.
- A. Kanerva, K. Zinn, +11 authors Akseli Hemminki
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular therapy : the journal of the American…
- 1 September 2003
Oncolytic viruses that are replication competent in tumor but not in normal cells represent a novel approach for treating neoplastic diseases. However, the oncolytic potency of replicating agents is… Expand
Immune response is an important aspect of the antitumor effect produced by a CD40L-encoding oncolytic adenovirus.
- I. Diaconu, V. Cerullo, +10 authors Akseli Hemminki
- Medicine
- Cancer research
- 1 May 2012
Oncolytic adenovirus is an attractive platform for immunotherapy because virus replication is highly immunogenic and not subject to tolerance. Although oncolysis releases tumor epitopes and provides… Expand
Oncolytic adenovirus with temozolomide induces autophagy and antitumor immune responses in cancer patients.
- Ilkka Liikanen, L. Ahtiainen, +16 authors Akseli Hemminki
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular therapy : the journal of the American…
- 1 June 2013
Oncolytic adenoviruses and certain chemotherapeutics can induce autophagy and immunogenic cancer cell death. We hypothesized that the combination of oncolytic adenovirus with low-dose temozolomide… Expand
Oncolytic immunotherapy of advanced solid tumors with a CD40L-expressing replicating adenovirus: assessment of safety and immunologic responses in patients.

- Medicine
- Cancer research
- 1 April 2012
The immunosuppressive environment of advanced tumors is a primary obstacle to the efficacy of immunostimulatory and vaccine approaches. Here, we report an approach to arm an oncolytic virus with CD40… Expand
Immunological data from cancer patients treated with Ad5/3-E2F-Δ24-GMCSF suggests utility for tumor immunotherapy
- O. Hemminki, S. Parviainen, +14 authors Akseli Hemminki
- Biology, Medicine
- Oncotarget
- 1 February 2015
Oncolytic viruses that selectively replicate in tumor cells can be used for treatment of cancer. Accumulating data suggests that virus induced oncolysis can enhance anti-tumor immunity and break… Expand
