Conclusions: T-VEC tumor cell killing
• Melanoma cell express variable levels of HSV entry receptors (HVEM, Nectin-1 and Nectin-2)– All cell susceptible to infection but receptor expression is
variable across cell lines– Nectin may be important for viral entry
• T-VEC induces immunogenic cell death/releases DAMPs– Calreticulin, ATP and HMGB-1
• T-VEC induces apoptosis– Effect can be enhanced by MEK inhibition
• T-VEC does not appear to induce autophagy• T-VEC-mediated lysis may depend on PKR and IRF3/7

Conclusions
• MEK inhibition enhances T-VEC-mediated cell killing in vitro in a dose-dependent manner
• Combination treatment changed the morphology of tumor cells and infection can be detected by changes in cell radiance and velocity
• MEK inhibition may allow an increase in viral replication
• MEK inhibition may enhance T-VEC-mediated melanoma killing in vivo

HSV gD-specific CD8+ T cells accumulate in both injected and uninjected tumors
![Page 48: Advances in Understanding the Biology of Talimogene ... · T-VEC (Herpes Virus) Modifications Rationale JS-1 strain Improved Cancer Cell Lysis Deletion of ICP34.5 Cancer Cell Specific](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042301/5ecbb40d496524297a607bee/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Conclusions from Immunologic Effects
• Tumor regression is more pronounced in injected tumors but does occur in non-injected tumors
• T-VEC appears to induce local innate and adaptive immune responses
• HSV-specific CD8+ T cells are detected in both injected and un-injected tumors (hypothesis: chemokine gradient?)
• Cross presentation of tumor antigens is being evaluated

Pembrolizumab and T-VEC in melanoma
Long et al. SMR Abstract 2015
![Page 63: Advances in Understanding the Biology of Talimogene ... · T-VEC (Herpes Virus) Modifications Rationale JS-1 strain Improved Cancer Cell Lysis Deletion of ICP34.5 Cancer Cell Specific](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042301/5ecbb40d496524297a607bee/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Conclusions
• T-VEC is the first oncolytic virus to achieve regulatory approval for the treatment of melanoma
• Patients with stage III/IV M1a and in first-line setting has the best outcomes
• Combination T-VEC and T cell checkpoint inhibitors appears promising
• T-VEC kills melanoma cells through immunogenic and apoptotic mechanisms, releases, and lysis may be enhanced by MEK inhibition
• T-VEC releases DAMPs and appears to generate an HSV-specific T cells responses (and tumor-specific?)
