Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of antibodies and T cells to treat lung cancer. It will look at how much of the treatment is safe and what dosage is the most effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced lung cancer that's resistant to platinum chemotherapy and has been treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Participants must be in good enough health, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and women able to have children need a negative pregnancy test before cell collection.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells targeting GD2 (iC9.GD2.CAR.IL-15 T cells). It aims to find the safe dosage levels of these modified immune cells designed to fight lung cancer more effectively than antibodies or T cells alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system such as fever, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms; risk of infection; possible organ inflammation due to an overactive immune response; and infusion-related reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the fundamental aim of this clinical study?

"This medical trial is assessing cytokine release syndrome (CRS) for a time frame of up to 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes in this study include disialoganglioside expression, overall response rate and duration of response which will be measured using immunohistochemistry on tumor samples collected from participants according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors criteria. ORR is calculated by summing the number of patients that achieved complete or partial responses divided by the total number who received treatment while DOR is noted as starting with either partial or full respose to disease progression based on RECIST 1.1 metrics: CR defined as disappearance"
