1. A method for treating a cancer, comprising administering:
- i) an oncolytic vaccinia virus, wherein said oncolytic vaccinia virus is defective for thymidine kinase (TK) resulting from inactivating mutations in the J2R viral gene and is defective for Ribonucleotide reductase (RR) activity resulting from inactivating mutations in the viral I4L and/or F4L gene(s) andii) one or more immune checkpoint modulator(s) consisting of an antibody, wherein the antibody specifically binds to PD-1 and is selected from Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab,wherein said cancer is selected from the group consisting of;
bone cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, cancer of the esophagus, oro-pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, cancer of the head or neck, skin cancer, melanoma, uterine cancer, cervix cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, cancer of the anal region, prostate cancer, lymphoma, cancer of the endocrine system, cancer of the thyroid gland, sarcoma of soft tissue, chronic or acute leukemias, cancer of the bladder, renal cancer, neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS), and glioma,wherein said oncolytic vaccinia virus and said one or more immune checkpoint modulator(s) are administered sequentially andwherein said oncolytic vaccinia virus is administered first and said immune checkpoint modulator(s) is administered second.
