Sound waves plus immunotherapy: a new hope for hard-to-treat cancers?

NCT ID NCT06524570

First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether combining a focused ultrasound treatment (histotripsy) with standard immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) is safe and tolerable for people with advanced cancer that has not responded to other treatments. About 24 adults with metastatic or unresectable cancer will receive one session of ultrasound to a tumor while continuing immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer without causing severe side effects.
