Official Title: A Window of Opportunity Trial of Intratumoral Injection of Copaxone® in Patients With Percutaneously Accessible Tumors
Study ID: NCT03982212
Brief Summary: The investigator believes that injecting Copaxone into tumors will help participants immune system fight cancer. This has been studied in mice and has shown encouraging results.
