New drug aims to reignite immune attack on Hard-to-Treat cancers

NCT ID NCT04471987

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called IL12-L19L19 (Dodekin) in 80 adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard immunotherapy. The drug combines an antibody with an immune-boosting protein to target and attack cancer cells. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and look for early signs that the drug might shrink tumors.
