First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study involved one healthy volunteer (the lead researcher) who gave himself a single dose of an experimental oncolytic virus called OTS-412. The goal was not to treat a disease but to closely monitor how the immune system responds over time after receiving the virus. Researchers took frequent blood samples to track changes in immune cells, helping to understand real-time immune dynamics that are hard to capture in cancer patients.
