Genetically Modified T Cells (B7-H3-CAR T cells) for of Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of genetically modified T cells (B7-H3-CAR T cells) in treating patients with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR T-cells are genetically modified T cells made of patients' T cells and a gene (a small piece of deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]) from a virus, which may help the T cells recognize and destroy cancer cells.

- PROCUREMENT AND T-CELL PROCUREMENT: Known underlying medical condition for which, in the investigator’s opinion, participation in this trial would not be in the best interest of the participant (e.g., compromises the health of the subject) or that could prevent, limit or confound protocol assessments

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety of one intravenous infusion of escalating doses of autologous, B7-H3-CAR T cells in patients (=< 21 years) with recurrent/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors after lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the antitumor activity of B7-H3-CAR T cells, defined as an objective response (partial response [PR] or complete response [CR]) observed anytime on active treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory B7-H3+ solid tumors
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the tumor environment after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells.
II. To assess the immunophenotype, clonal structure and endogenous repertoire of B7-H3-CAR T cells and unmodified T cells.
III. To characterize the cytokine profile in the peripheral blood after treatment with B7-H3-CAR T cells.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of B7-H3-CAR T cells.
Patients undergo collection of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) via apheresis. Patients receive fludarabine phosphate on days -4 to -2 and cyclophosphamide on days -3 to -2. Patients then receive B7-H3-CAR T cells intravenously (IV) day 0 or 1. Patients that derive clinical benefit from treatment may be eligible to receive additional courses of treatment at least 4 weeks after the previous B7-H3 CAR-T cells. Patients undergo echocardiography during screening, tumor biopsy on study and computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or nuclear imaging and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 year and then up to 15 years.
