ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called FOLactis, which is an in situ vaccine designed to help patients with advanced solid tumors that have spread to the pleural (lung) or abdominal areas. The main goal of the study is to see how safe and well-tolerated this treatment is, as well as to find out if it can effectively improve the immune response against these tumors when used alongside other anti-cancer therapies.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 18 and 80 years old and have certain types of recurrent or metastatic solid tumors confirmed by a doctor. They should also have a specific performance level that indicates they can carry out daily activities and be expected to live for at least 12 more weeks. Participants will receive the FOLactis treatment through an injection and will be monitored closely for any side effects and how well the treatment works. It’s important to note that there are specific health criteria that must be met to join, and participants will need to provide some blood and tissue samples during the study.
