Experimental virus therapy for advanced cancers shows early safety data

NCT ID NCT05346484

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This early-stage study tested an experimental virus therapy called VAXINIA (CF33-hNIS) in 66 adults with advanced solid tumors that had spread. The virus was given either directly into tumors or through a vein, alone or with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. The main goal was to check safety and find the best dose, but the study was stopped early. It was not designed to cure the disease, and patients with these cancers typically need ongoing treatment.
