KD01 exerts potent tBID-mediated mitochondrial oncolytic activity against glioma cells. When used as a priming strategy, transient vascular normalization induced by bevacizumab enhanced the intratumoral efficacy of KD01 in an orthotopic glioma model while maintaining a favorable safety profile. These findings support a simple, sequence-dependent combination approach integrating anti-VEGF therapy with oncolytic virotherapy for the treatment of malignant gliomas.
