Popis: Historically, the clinical utility of oncolytic virotherapy as a treatment for a wide range of cancer types was first demonstrated by three pilot human clinical trials conducted in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s using a wild-type Urabe mumps virus (MuV) clinical isolate. Using a sample of the actual original oncolytic Urabe MuV clinical trial virus stock (MuV-U-Japan) used in these Japanese clinical trials, we found that MuV-U-Japan consisted of a wide variety of very closely related Urabe MuVs that differed by an average of only three amino acids. Two MuV-U-Japan isolates, MuV-UA and MuV-UC, potently killed a panel of established human breast cancer cell lines in vitro, significantly extended survival of nude mice with human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts in vivo, and demonstrated significant killing activity against breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cell lines grown as 3D organoids, including PDXs from patients resistant to anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapy. We also report success in developing a large-scale MuV-U production and purification process suitable for supporting Investigational New Drug applications for clinical trials. This study demonstrates the suitability of the MuV-UC virus for translation to modern clinical trials for treating patients with TNBC.
