The present invention relates to the fields of life sciences and medicine. Specifically, the invention relates to cancer therapies of humans. More specifically, the present invention relates to an oncolytic adenoviral vector encoding a bispecific monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods and uses utilizing the oncolytic adenoviral vectors, also together with adoptive cell therapies.

The present invention relates to an anti-tumor adenovirus and an anticancer composition comprising same. Double-stranded siRNA of the present invention simultaneously inhibits the expression of a first nucleic acid and a second nucleic acid, thus promoting the death of cancer cells, exhibits more remarkable anticancer activity as compared to co-treatment of respective siRNAs, has a synergistic effect of improving cancer cell death in combined treatment with an anticancer agent. The adenovirus comprising a shRNA-encoding expression cassette expressing the double-stranded siRNA, and a hTERT promoter evades immune responses in the body and is specifically delivered to cancer cells, thus having a systemic therapeutic effect, can be locally delivered, has excellent selectivity, and exhibits a significant anticancer effect even in minimally invasive treatment, and thus, the adenovirus can be effectively used as an anticancer composition or an anticancer adjuvant in various carcinomas.

The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer in a human subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to treating a cancer by administering a recombinant virus which expresses one or more biotherapeutic agents in a subject, and administering to the subject a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent. The invention further relates to method for treating cancer by administering a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent and a caspase inhibitor, and, optionally, also administering a recombinant virus expressing one or more biotherapeutic agents in the subject. The invention also relates to a method for treating cancer by administering purified interferon gamma to a subject and administering to the subject a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, including controlled release pharmaceutical compositions containing: a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent and a recombinant virus; a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide analogue precursor chemotherapeutic agent and a caspase inhibitor; or a purified interferon gamma and a nucleotide analogue or nucleotide precursor analogue chemotherapeutic agent.

Disclosed herein are novel methods and compositions for targeting drug delivery systems to specific cells. One aspect relates to a drug delivery system comprising an elastin-like peptide (ELP) component and a ligand selected from the group consisting of an polymeric immunoglobulin receptor binding site in the Cα3 domain of dimeric human IgA (mIgA) and knob capable of either drug encapsulation or drug attachment. Further aspects relate to drug delivery systems comprising an elastin-like peptide (ELP) component and a ligand; wherein the ligand specifically binds to a receptor selected from the group consisting of coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). Further aspects include the novel transcytosing properties of the elastin-like peptide and the ligand, knob. Also provided are methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed therapeutics.
