Clinical trial for Solid Tumor (Excluding CNS)
Official title Immunotherapy for Solid Tumor Malignancies in Pediatrics Using Interleukin-15 and -21 Armored Glypican-3-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07148050
What this study is testing
What is SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 CAR T cells?
This is an investigational treatment being studied for children and young adults with certain solid tumors that have come back or are not responding to other treatments. It is designed to use the patient's own immune cells, which are changed in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells that have a specific marker called GPC3.
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
- This study is testing whether engineered T cells that carry IL‑15 and IL‑21 can be safely made and used in children and young adults with certain solid tumors that have the GPC3 protein.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are a child or young adult with a relapsed or refractory solid tumor that shows the GPC3 protein and you meet all the study’s eligibility rules.
- What's involved
- You will give a blood sample that will be used to create your own T cells. Those T cells will then be given back to you as a treatment. You will have visits to monitor safety and how well the treatment works.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about a year, with several hospital visits for blood draws, treatment, and follow‑up checks.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
