NCT ID NCT06311578
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests a virus (JNJ-87704916) that is injected directly into tumors to kill cancer cells. It is being tested alone and with another drug (cetrelimab) in people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if the virus can shrink tumors.
