First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests very small amounts of cancer drugs injected directly into accessible tumors in 15 adults scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see how the drugs affect the tumor's environment, like killing cancer cells or activating immune cells, without causing full-body side effects. It is a research tool to gather information, not a treatment itself.
