Scientist tests Cancer-Killing virus on himself to watch immune system in action
NCT ID NCT07302945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involved one healthy volunteer (the lead researcher) who gave himself a single dose of an experimental oncolytic virus called OTS-412. The goal was not to treat any disease but to closely monitor how the immune system responds immediately after the virus is given. Blood samples were taken over time to track changes in immune cells. This was a self-experiment to gather detailed immune data that is hard to capture in regular cancer patients.
