New virus therapy aims to boost immune attack on hard-to-treat cancers

NCT ID NCT05492682

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new treatment called PeptiCRAd-1, a virus designed to train the immune system to attack cancer cells, combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. About 15 adults with certain advanced solid tumors (like melanoma, lung cancer, or sarcoma) will receive the combination. The main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment activates the immune system against tumor markers NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-A3.
