Testing CAR-T Cell Therapy in Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial is to test the safety of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (CAR.B7-H3 T cells) in patients with ovarian cancer that has come back (recurrent). CAR.B7-H3 T cells combine two different ways the body fights cancer, antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from foreign invaders like bacteria. Antibodies work by attaching to these bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection fighting blood cells that can kill viruses and other cells, including tumor cells. Antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancer. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been able to cure most patients. This study will combine both T cells and antibodies to create a more effective treatment.
