The Oncolytic Virus Landscape 2017: an analysis of pipeline,stakeholders, deals, industry trends & opportunities

The field of oncolytic viruses wasquite dormant in the first decade of the 2000s, characterized by slow clinicalprogress due to hypercautiousness and low, albeit steady, investments. Thetakeover of BioVex by Amgen in late 2011, worth up to US$ 1 bln, has woken upthe field and became a game changer together with the 2015 approval of thefirst oncolytic virus Imlygic developed by BioVex in regulated markets. Inaddition, it was increasingly recognized that oncolytic viruses not only wereable to directly lyse cancer cells, but they also „freed" tumor specificneoantigens, indirectly acting as a cancer vaccine.

However, the efficacy ofoncolytic viruses still was modest, but can be improved when combined withimmune checkpoint inhibitors. This lead to an increased partnering interest ofthe major immuno-oncology (I-O) players, but also of investors who view oncolyticviruses as a must be for I-O combination regimens. As a consequence, total ventureequity and private investments into oncolytic virus companies in 2016 wasnearly 17-fold higher than in the year 2010.

Optimization of oncolytic virusesis ongoing and new constructs intend to solve some of the open problemsregarding the way of administration (intratumoral vs systemic), higher cancercell specific replication capacity, and longer persistence in vivo. Based onexperience with several virus families over the last decades, a few virus familiescristallized as well suitable backbones to carry more and more transgenes toexpress proteins or even single chain antibodies. This would position oncolyticviruses as independent therapeutics and could compete with immuno-oncologycompounds and cancer vaccines.
