ABSTRACT
Single agent immune checkpoint inhibitors have been ineffective for patients with advanced stage and recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Using pre-clinical models of HGSOC, we evaluated the anti-tumor and immune stimulatory effects of an oncolytic adenovirus, MEM-288. This conditionally replicative virus encodes a modified membrane stable CD40L and IFNß. We demonstrated this virus successfully infects HGSOC cell lines and primary human ascites samples in vitro. We evaluated the anti-tumor and immunostimulatory activity in vivo in immune competent mouse models. Intraperitoneal delivery of MEM-288 decreased ascites and solid tumor burden compared to controls, and treatment generated a systemic anti-tumor immune response. The tumor microenvironment had a higher proportion of anti-tumor macrophages and decreased markers of angiogenesis. MEM-288 is a promising immunotherapy agent in HGSOC, with further pre-clinical studies required to understand the mechanism of action in the peritoneal microenvironment and clinical activity in combination with other therapies.
