This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells in the treatment of pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients with GPC3-positive solid cancers. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients with GPC3-positive solid cancers.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the manufacturing feasibility of autologous IL-15/IL-21-iC9-expressing anti-glypican-3 CAR T-cells (SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells).
II. To determine the safety of escalating doses of an intravenous injection of SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells in children with GPC3-positive solid tumors after lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells in treating patients with GPC3-positive solid tumors after lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
II. To assess the anti-tumor effect of infused SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells in children with GPC3-positive solid tumors.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the in vivo persistence, phenotype and functional activity of infused SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells in children with GPC3-positive solid tumors.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells.
Patients undergo collection of peripheral blood for manufacturing of the T cell product on study. Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -4, -3, and -2, followed by SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells IV on day 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with a demonstrated response and/or at least stable disease after 4 weeks may receive additional doses of SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells with or without cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and collection of blood samples throughout the trial. Patients may undergo echocardiography (ECHO) on study and/or optional biopsy during follow-up.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42, months 2-12, 15, 28, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60, and then yearly for years 6-15.
