Summary

This study tests a new drug called VK 2019 in 13 people with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive nasopharyngeal cancer or other EBV-related cancers that cannot be cured with standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a key viral protein (EBNA1) that helps the cancer grow. The main goal is to see if the drug shrinks tumors or slows the disease.
