Nanoengineered patches and injectables aim to fight cancer locally

NCT ID NCT05893888

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests three new ways to deliver the chemotherapy drug cisplatin directly to tumors in the mouth or lungs. The goal is to kill cancer cells while reducing side effects on the rest of the body. About 40 adults with early-stage oral or lung cancer will receive the treatment as a patch, a surgical implant, or an injection. The trial is currently recruiting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cisplatin (delivered via PRV111 patch, PRV211 intraoperative system, or PRV131 injectable)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more targeted, less toxic way to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumors, potentially improving outcomes for oral and lung cancers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatments involve cisplatin, which can cause side effects like kidney damage and nerve issues.
