Can a modified cold virus injected into tumors help immunotherapy fight advanced breast cancer?
NCT ID NCT07850869
First seen Sep 30, 2026 · Last updated Oct 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are observing whether injecting an engineered adenovirus called H101 directly into tumors, combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, can shrink advanced breast cancer that has worsened after standard treatment. The study plans to enroll 10 to 15 adults with Stage IV breast cancer who have at least one injectable tumor. Participants receive H101 injections followed by immunotherapy infusions in cycles, with tumor biopsies and blood samples collected to track immune cell changes and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- H101 oncolytic adenovirus combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors
- What this could lead to
- If the combination helps, it could offer a new option for advanced breast cancer that has resisted standard treatments, and point toward broader use of oncolytic viruses with immunotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study of 10 to 15 people at one center, so results may not apply widely. The virus and immunotherapy combination can cause immune-related side effects, and the approach may not shrink tumors in everyone.

Who is studied
This study will enroll 15 patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer presenting with multiple metastases, who have failed multiple prior lines of systemic therapy, and are aged 18 to 75 years. Subjects will be primarily recruited from the patient population at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital. All eligible subjects must meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.
