Virus injection takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT06215846
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests a single injection of a modified virus (BioTTT001) directly into tumors in 12 adults with advanced solid cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The virus is designed to infect and kill cancer cells while also boosting the immune system. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see how the virus behaves in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BioTTT001 (a modified virus that targets cancer cells and delivers an immune-boosting protein)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new way to treat advanced solid tumors by using a virus to attack cancer cells and stimulate the immune system.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 12 people, so it is mainly checking safety and dosing. The virus may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects like flu-like symptoms or inflammation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age range from 18 to 80 years old (including the threshold), no gender restrictions. 2. Patients with histologically and/or cytologically confirmed malignant solid tumors, who have experienced at least one-line standard treatment failure or intolerance, or lack standard treatment options. Focus on malignancies in the head and neck, colorectal cancer, skin malignancies, and cervical cancer. 3. At least one assessable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. 4. Assessed by the investigators to have lesions suitable for intratumoral injection (assessable lesions and intratumoral injection lesions can refer to the same lesion). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known allergy to the investigational drug or its components. 2. Previous treatment with other adenovirus drugs. 3. Patients with active autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), except type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism that only needs hormone replacement therapy, and skin diseases that do not need systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia). 4. Patients who have not recovered from the adverse reactions of previous treatments (the treatment-related toxicity ≤ grade 2, except for alopecia, pigmentation or other tolerable events judged by the investigator ).
