Vector information
Vectorherpes simplex virus
Viral genome modificationNV1020, has a 15-kb deletion over the joint region of the HSV-1 genome. This deletion encompasses the region of the genome encoding ICP0, ICP4, latency-associated transcripts (LATs) , and one copy of the neurovirulence gene (134. 5), a fragment of HSV-2 DNA from the HindIII l region encoding several glycoproteins was inserted into the deleted joint region. It also has a 700-bp deletion of the endogenous TK locus that prevents expression of the overlapping transcripts belonging to the UL24 gene.

Clinical Result

Cohort 1
Administration route intrahepatic arterial injection
Dosage 3E6~1E8 plaque-forming units
Pts 12
Age Adult, Older_Adult
Outcome In the first week after viral administration only rare and minor increases were noted for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (six samples; three patients; peak, 40 pg/ml), interleukin (IL)-1 (two samples; two patients; peak, 28 pg/ml), and interferon-y (four samples; two subjects; peak, 54 pg/ml). No IL-2 was detected.
Adverse reactions 1/12(transient rise in serum y-glutamyltransferase); 1/12(one diarrhea); 1/12(leukocytosis)
