Genetically Engineered Cells (SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T Cells) for the Treatment of Pediatric and Adolescent/Young Adult Patients with GPC3-Positive Solid Cancers, IMPACT Trial

Trial Status: active

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.
