 Two articles came out about this viral therapy that is approved in Japan for Glioblastoma.

The first is a phase 2 study reporting very promising results:   the 1 year survival rate for recurrent Glioblastoma was 84.2%. 16 of 10 patients were alive at the one year mark. This treatment is injected directly into the tumor up to 6 times.   As a result of this study, the treatment was approved in Japan with the name: DELYTACT .   I have been trying to get it for patients here in the USA with no luck but will keep trying!

 

The second article is the phase 1/2 dose finding study which had less impressive results: the 1 year survival rate was 38% but they did have 2 long term survivors.
