 Herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSV-TK/GCV) therapy was performed in five cases of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. In the last study, the authors demonstrated response of the HSV-TK/GCV therapy against tumor progression (Adachi N, et al.: No Shinkei Geka). The aim of this study is to estimate the biosafty of in vivo HSV-TK gene transfer and GCV administration in five cases.Six parameters were analyzed sequentially up to the 6th month after the vector producer cells (VPCs) inoculation as follows; ⅰ) clinical symptom, ⅱ) vital sign, ⅲ) peripheral blood cell count, ⅳ) blood biochemical analysis, ⅴ) serological test, ⅵ) molecular biological test in peripheral leukocytes. In addition, ten systemic organs extracted from the two subjects in whom death occured were also analyzed biologically. One case suffered from transient deterioration of left hemiparesis on the 34th day, which could be considered a probably-related but not adverse event. Serological tests detected anti-VPC antibody at the 1st month in one case and anti-vector antibody at the 1st and 4th month in another. The other examinations revealed no abnormal findings at all. These data indicate that the HSV-TK/GCV therapy might be a satisfactorily safe approach against glioblastoma multiforme.
