The development of neutralizing antibodies can limit the therapeutic effectiveness of systemically administered oncolytic viruses (OV). Here, to enable repeated intravenous administration, the authors report the development of synthetic RNA viruses formulated within lipid nanoparticles, showing anti-tumor efficacy even in the presence of OV neutralizing antibodies.
