What is ET140203 T Cells?
ET140203 T Cells is an investigational medicine, given as an IV infusion (through a vein), being studied as a potential treatment for hepatoblastoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see if the therapy is safe and to find the best dose for later trials.
- Who it's for
- Children with relapsed or refractory hepatoblastoma, HCN‑NOS, or hepatocellular carcinoma who test positive for AFP and HLA‑A2.
- What's involved
- Participants receive increasing doses of ET140203 T‑cells and undergo regular safety checks, lab tests, and doctor visits.
- Time commitment
