About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and activity of VAX014 for intratumoral injections (VAX014) as a single agent as well as in combination with Investigator's choice of nivolumab or pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. VAX014 is a targeted oncolytic agent designed to kill tumor cells following intratumoral injection into advanced solid tumors.
