Clinical Program

A new modality for the treatment of cancer

Vyriad has a broad portfolio of oncolytic viruses in discovery, translational and clinical phases of development.  The clinical program is focused on two engineered viruses: Voyager-V1, a vesicular stomatitis virus, and MV-NIS, an attenuated measles virus.  The clinical development program is designed to establish clinical proof of concept for oncolytic virotherapies as a monotherapy or in combination with other immunotherapies.

Our oncolytic virotherapies are uniquely trackable using novel biomarkers to guide the intelligent development and clinical validation of virus-drug combination regimens. In parallel, we are developing theranostics and algorithms to predict the best possible treatment regimens for patients.

A series of Phase 1 and 2 clinical studies are ongoing in multiple cancer indications with both Voyager-V1 and MV-NIS.  These trials are being conducted in partnership with leading pharmaceutical companies and top medical research centers, including Vyriad’s founding academic partners, Mayo Clinic and University of Miami.

MV-NIS

Medulloblastoma and Recurrent ATRT

Phase 1

MV-NIS Monotherapy

This is an open label Phase 1 study will assess the safety and efficacy of the modified measles virus (MV) in children and young adults with recurrent medulloblastoma or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT). MV, which is designed to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells, will be administered directly into the tumor bed in patients locally recurrent tumors or into the subarachnoid space in patients with disseminated recurrent tumors.
