GPC2 Trial Summary

This trial tests a new cancer treatment to see if it's safe for people with an advanced form of childhood cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients over 1 year old with high-risk neuroblastoma that has come back or didn't respond to treatment. They must have a confirmed diagnosis, disease that can be measured, good organ function and performance status, and agree to use birth control if they can have children. People with active hepatitis B/C, HIV, uncontrolled infections or immune disorders, recent heart issues or vaccines cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing GPC2 CAR T cells in patients with advanced neuroblastoma. It's the first time this treatment is being used on humans and aims to find out how safe it is by gradually increasing the dose given to participants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include reactions related to the immune system such as Cytokine Release Syndrome (a rapid release of cytokines into the blood), which could lead to symptoms like fever and fatigue; neurotoxicity affecting brain functions; infection risks due to immunosuppression; and other complications not specified here.

GPC2 Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Dose Expansion ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If at least one dose from the dose expansion arm is determined to be safe, additional patients will be enrolled to the dose expansion arm to preliminarily evaluate the rate of response to GPC2 CAR T cells and further characterize the safety profile of GPC2 CAR T cells.
Group II: Dose Escalation ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The dose escalation arm will determine the maximum tolerated dose of GPC2 CAR T cells using a standard 3+3 trial design.
