A clinical trial led by Hoyoung M. Maeng, M.D., Associate Research Physician in the Center for Immuno-Oncology, is researching the safety and tolerability of intratumoral (IT) injection of tolododekin alfa (ANK-101) for adults with advanced solid tumors.

The study will be conducted in three parts. In Part 1, participants with superficial lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; in Part 2, participants with visceral lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; in Part 3, participants with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma will receive ANK-101 in combination with cemiplimab.

The trial will take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and there is no cost for medical care received at the Clinical Center.
