JX-594 is name of an oncolytic poxvirus engineered for replication, transgene expression and amplification in cancer cells [1].

The abilities of the specially engineered viruses were under research since beginning of century 21 [2][3].

The positive effect of JX-594 on the reduction of the growth of the cancer tissues is reported to be statistically–significant.
