The oncolytic rodent protoparvovirus H-1PV has been successfully used in phase I/II clinical trials to treat recurrent glioblastoma multiforme and pancreatic cancer. The present work focuses on the stability and environmental safety of the H-1PV drug product from production up to its use in patients. We identified hold-steps in manufacturing for up to 3 months and showed 7-years stability for the optimal product formulation.

Studies have already shown that physical activity leads to a reduction in body weight in children and adults. However, the university setting has rarely been investigated.

Therefore, production process needs to be optimized and scaled up for future market release. Currently, the virus is produced with minimum essential medium in 10-layer CellSTACK® chambers with limited scalability, requiring a minimum seeding density of 7.

However, yields of influenza virus in continuous mode can be affected by oscillations in virus titers caused by periodic accumulation of defective interfering particles. The generation of such particles has also been observed previously in cascades of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) and is known as the "von Magnus effect".
