Filter by:This is a first in human dose escalation trial to determine the safety of administering GPC2 CAR T cells in patients with advanced neuroblastoma.
High risk neuroblastoma is an aggressive and often lethal pediatric solid tumor. Survival remains less than 50% and those patients who do survive suffer many treatment-related acute and chronic toxicities. Chemoimmunotherapy using a combination of an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody (dinutuximab) and different chemotherapy agents in the relapsed/refractory (r/r) neuroblastoma population, has demonstrated the most robust response rates to date, shifting the clinical practice to administer chemoimmunotherapy as a standard treatment for patients with r/r neuroblastoma. The goal of this study is to improve upon GD2 chemoimmunotherapy regimens for neuroblastoma by delivering standard drugs like temozolomide, irinotecan, and dinutuximab in combination with a novel cell-based immunotherapy called gamma delta (γδ) T cells in addition to zoledronate that enhances γδ T cell activation and potency. γδ T cells are an innovative approach to cell therapy for neuroblastoma as they are major histocompatibility complex (MHC) independent and directly cytotoxic to tumor cells without the need for engineering them to recognize the tumor. The study team has developed a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant manufacturing strategy to expand safe γδ T cells from healthy donors for this trial. This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety, recommended phase 2 dose, and preliminary efficacy of allogeneic (third party), ex vivo expanded γδ T cells in combination with dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan and zoledronate in children with refractory, relapsed, or progressive neuroblastoma.
This is a Phase 1 study with Phase 2 expansion cohort. Phase 1 will assess the safety and tolerability of universal donor TGFβi NK Cell in combination with irinotecan, temozolomide, and dinituximab. The phase 2 of the study will estimate the response to treatment.
This is pilot open-label study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a DNA vaccine strategy in relapsed neuroblastoma patients following chemotherapy and HSC transplantation. The combined form of the vaccine includes an intramuscular injection of the DNA-polyethylenimine conjugate and oral administration using the attenuated Salmonella enterica as DNA vaccine carriers. Objectives of the study: 1. To assess safety and document local and systemic toxicity to combined DNA vaccine 2. To determine immunogenicity of the vaccine 3. To evaluate clinical response to vaccination. Control of minimal residual disease in bone marrow and duration of remission.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 67Cu-SARTATE in pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
This expanded access is the best available therapy/compassionate use designed to determine the palliative benefit and toxicity of 131I-MIBG in patients with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma or metastatic pheochromocytoma who are not eligible for therapies of higher priority. Patients may receive a range of doses depending on stem cell availability and tumor involvement of bone marrow. Response rate, toxicity, and time to progression and death will be evaluated.
This study is for patients with neuroblastoma, sarcoma, uveal melanoma, breast cancer, or another cancer that expresses a substance on the cancer cells called GD2. The cancer has either come back after treatment or did not respond to treatment. Because there is no standard treatment at this time, patients are asked to volunteer in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells called T cells. T cells are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They have shown promise but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. We have found from previous research that we can put a new gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. In our last clinical trial we made a gene called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) from an antibody that recognizes GD2, a substance found on almost all neuroblastoma cells (GD2-CAR). We put this gene into the patients' own T cells and gave them back to 11 neuroblastoma patients. We saw that the cells did grow for a while, but started to disappear from the blood after 2 weeks. We think that if T cells are able to last longer they may have a better chance of killing GD2 positive tumor cells. Therefore, in this study we will add a new gene to the GD2 T cells that can cause the cells to live longer. T cells need substances called cytokines to survive and the cells may not get enough cytokines after infusion. We have added the gene C7R that gives the cells a constant supply of cytokine and helps them to survive for a longer period of time. In other studies using T cells, investigators found that giving chemotherapy before the T cell infusion can improve the amount of time the T cells stay in the body and therefore the effect the T cells can have. This is called lymphodepletion and we think that it will allow the T cells to expand and stay longer in the body, and potentially kill cancer cells more effectively. The GD2-C7R T cells are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this study is to find the largest safe dose of GD2-C7R T cells, and also to evaluate how long they can be detected in the blood and what affect they have on cancer.
HITC001 is a single institution study to evaluate the efficacy of using a standardized protocol of surgery and radiation for patients with brain metastases in relapsed neuroblastoma.
Subjects with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma and osteosarcoma will receive ex-vivo expanded and activated natural killer (NK) cells from a haploidentical donor in conjunction with the immunocytokine, hu14.18-IL2.
Parental decision-making for children with advanced cancer is complex. Many parents have overly optimistic beliefs about prognosis and as a result choose aggressive measures even at the end of life, which are associated with greater suffering. Yet most parents wish to limit suffering, and in retrospect, many regret choices for cancer treatment for advanced cancer. These findings suggest that parents do not always have the information they need to make decisions that reflect their preferences. The proposed study will evaluate parental decision-making in advanced cancer, addressing gaps in the literature in 3 important respects. 1) Previous work on decision-making for children with advanced cancer has typically looked at decisions at one point in time, often asking parents to reflect on decisions after the child's death, even though parents' understanding of prognosis and decisions about care evolve over time. We will evaluate parental decision-making for advanced cancer over time. 2) Existing work focuses on aggressive end-of-life care as the worst possible outcome. However, some parents wish to pursue aggressive measures even when they recognize that the child has little chance for cure. We will evaluate the extent to which parental decision-making is informed and consonant with preferences, regardless of whether decisions lead to aggressive or palliative care. 3) Previous studies have focused on groups of different childhood cancers, making it difficult to ascertain whether differences in decision-making reflect differences in diseases, options for care, or parent preferences. We will focus on a single disease, relapsed neuroblastoma, as a model for parental decision-making.
