NCT ID NCT03740256

First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 08, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing the safety of a new two-part treatment for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors, such as breast, lung, or gastric cancer. First, a specially designed virus is injected directly into one tumor to help alert the immune system. A few days later, patients receive an infusion of their own immune cells, which have been engineered in a lab to find and attack HER2-positive cancer cells. The main goal is to find a safe dose and see how well the body tolerates this combination.
