Highly selective viruses specifically designed
VCN Biosciences:
The company developing the next generation
of oncolytic adenovirus
Our oncolytic adenoviruses are designed
to obtain clinical activity by systemic administration
VCN Biosciences SL is a privately-owned company focused in the development of new therapeutic approaches for tumors that lack effective treatment. The company uses an oncolytic adenovirus technology platform to design highly selective and efficient agents that replicate and self-amplify exclusively in tumor cells. The selectivity of VCN oncolytic adenoviruses allows their systemic administration, which is especially relevant for the treatment of disseminated cancer. Contrary to chemotherapy, the ability of oncolytic virus to self-amplify in tumor cells results in an effective dose increase with time. These properties highlight VCN candidates as promising alternatives for the treatment of refractory tumors such as pancreatic adenocarcinomas, which is the current tumor target for VCN-01.

Barcelona, November 27, 2020 – A team of researchers from SJD BarcelonaA team of researchers from SJD BarcelonaChildren’s Hospital and the biotechnology company VCN Biosciences, a Grifols company,has developed a world-first treatment which has prevented a child, who hadalready lost an eye to retinal cancer, from losing the other eye and becomingcompletely blind. As a result, Félix, who travelled from Venezuela to Barcelonaspecifically for the treatment, is now disease-free and retains his visual acuity, allowinghim to walk and play just as before. The treatment, which was administered as part ofa clinical trial, consists in injecting a genetically modified virus into the tumour-affectedeye. This virus can select, attack and destroy cancer cells.
