Inhaled virus takes on lung tumors in new trial
NCT ID NCT06228326
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an inhaled treatment called KB707, a modified herpes virus designed to trigger the immune system against lung tumors. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread to the lungs and who have run out of standard options. The trial will test KB707 alone and in combination with Keytruda or chemotherapy to see if it is safe and can shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- genetically modified herpes simplex virus (KB707)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new inhaled treatment option for people with advanced lung cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The virus-based therapy may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
