Oncolytic virotherapy represents a potentially innovative approach for patients with malignant glioma. A major obstacle to effective therapy has been delivery of an oncolytic virus the tumor. For this first-in-human phase I clinical study, we developed novel adenovirus, CRADd-Survivin-pk7, which utilizes survivin promoter and binds heparan sulfate proteoglycans expressed on surface tumor cells. Survivin is overexpressed in gliomas also radiosensitive driving viral replication glioma but not...
