Hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer is a deadly disease that currently lacks curative treatments. Conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAds) are promising new agents against cancer due to their innate capability to cause oncolysis of tumor cells. Their antitumor effect is determined in part by their capacity for infecting cancer cells. However, the respective primary receptor, the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR), is variably expressed in many cancer types. We created Ad5/3A24hCG, a novel CRAd retargeted to the adenovirus serotype 3 receptor, which has been reported to be highly expressed in tumors. Furthermore, we added a transgene for the P-chain of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCGO), whose expression was tightly coupled to virus replication. Ad5/3A24hCG was found effective in killing prostate cancer cells, and oncolysis was seen in concordance with hCG production. In a s.c. in vivo model of hormone refractory prostate cancer, Ad5/3A24hCG treatment resulted in statistically significant tumor growth inhibition.
