Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests DNX-2440, a virus designed to kill cancer cells, in patients with multiple liver tumors who are undergoing surgery. The treatment involves injecting the virus directly into the tumors to shrink them before they are removed. The goal is to determine the safest and most effective dose for these patients, including those with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
