IconOVir Bio Announces Preclinical Proof-of-Concept Data for Proprietary Mutations Designed to Improve Selectivity of Novel Oncolytic Viruses, Including Lead Product Candidate ICVB-1042
In the case of ICVB-1042, we incorporate a series of mutations to optimize potency, selectivity and tumor tropism, and potentially enable both intratumoral and intravenous administration.
- In the case of ICVB-1042, we incorporate a series of mutations to optimize potency, selectivity and tumor tropism, and potentially enable both intratumoral and intravenous administration.
- The abstract shared at ASCO describes the first pair of mutations that we introduced into ICVB-1042, which improve tumor selectivity without impacting replicative efficiency or sacrificing lytic potency.
- IconOVir\xe2\x80\x99s proprietary oncolytic virus platform is based on technology developed by scientific founder Clodagh O\xe2\x80\x99Shea, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute.
- It is designed to address key limitations of first- and second-generation oncolytic viruses and provide a personalized therapy for cancer patients.
