Drug Overview
Imlygic (talimogene laherparepvec; Amgen) is a gene-deleted oncolytic herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) that encodes human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Upon administration, Imlygic replicates selectively in tumor cells and generates GM-CSF. The tumor cells rupture to release GM-CSF which recruits dendritic cells and presents tumor-specific antigens. This results in activation of the immune system to kill metastatic cells while having limited effect on normal cells. Attempting to modulate the immune response is a popular strategy in melanoma, due to instances of spontaneous regression of tumors in response to immunotherapy.
