Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with certain advanced solid tumors (like melanoma or head and neck cancers) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, including anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy. Participants need a tumor large enough for biopsy and injection, good liver function, no curative treatment options available, and must have completed prior PD-1/PDL-1 therapy.
What is being tested?
The study tests TILT-123 (an oncolytic adenovirus) combined with Avelumab in patients whose tumors are not responding to previous therapies. It's an early-phase trial designed to find out the safest dose of TILT-123 when used with Avelumab.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as fatigue, flu-like symptoms, skin reactions at the injection site, allergic responses, and potential changes in blood test results reflecting organ functions.
