PEACH Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses molecular targeted therapy in combination with adoptive cell therapy. The goal is to find the maximum tolerated dose and to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this new treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with specific pediatric cancers like high-risk neuroblastoma or brain stem gliomas, who have no known effective curative therapy available. Participants must be aged ≤ 30 years, have a certain level of physical functioning (Lansky/Karnofsky Score ≥ 60), and agree to use effective birth control. They should not have significant organ dysfunction or other serious medical conditions that could affect the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The PEACH TRIAL tests a combination of molecular targeted therapy with adoptive cell therapy in children with newly diagnosed DIPG or recurrent neuroblastoma. It aims to find the safest dose for treatments involving autologous dendritic cells, lymphocyte transfer, and hematopoietic stem cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever and fatigue, complications from biopsies like bleeding or infection, and typical risks associated with cellular therapies which can range from mild flu-like symptoms to more severe immune responses.

PEACH Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm 2: Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma (NB)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
This Phase I study is will utilize a standard 3+3 dose escalation design to establish the MTD and will evaluate the following three pre-specified dose levels of xALT: Dose Level 1: 3 x10^7 cells/kg Dose Level +1: 3 x10^8 cells/kg Dose Level -1: 3 x10^6 cells/kg The dose escalation scheme will be evaluated for Arm 1 and Arm 2 separately. For each Study Arm, a minimum of 4 DLT evaluable subjects and a maximum of 12 DLT evaluable subjects will be enrolled (a total of 8 to 24 DLT evaluable subjects).
Group II: Arm 1: Subjects with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
This Phase I study is will utilize a standard 3+3 dose escalation design to establish the MTD and will evaluate the following three pre-specified dose levels of xALT: Dose Level 1: 3 x10^7 cells/kg Dose Level +1: 3 x10^8 cells/kg Dose Level -1: 3 x10^6 cells/kg The dose escalation scheme will be evaluated for Arm 1 and Arm 2 separately. For each Study Arm, a minimum of 4 DLT evaluable subjects and a maximum of 12 DLT evaluable subjects will be enrolled (a total of 8 to 24 DLT evaluable subjects).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Could you provide insight on the potential risks of Tumor-specific ex vivo expanded autologous lymphocyte transfer (TTRNA-xALT) to participants?

"Based on the available data, our team at Power has assigned a score of 1 out of 3 to TTRNA-xALT's safety due to it being in Phase 1 - meaning there is limited information regarding its efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Will I qualify to join the research project?

"This clinical trial is set to welcome 24 individuals aged 1 year and 30 with neuroblastoma into the study. Furthermore, participants must have measurable disease as defined in section 8 of this research, a tumor sample containing over 30% viable tissue for analysis, not be more than two months past diagnosis or beginning radiation therapy, relapsed after standard care treatments or showing non-responsiveness/progression from accepted curative chemotherapy regimens if applicable, possess diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (or another brain stem affliction), and finally have their age at enrollment capped at thirty years old; should all criteria be met then the patient and/or"

Answered by AI

How many test subjects are enrolled in this investigation?

"Correct. The clinicaltrials.gov website verifies that this medical study, which was originally published on September 20th 2021, is currently enrolling people in the trial. Specifically, 24 patients need to be recruited from 2 different locations for participation."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment for this research endeavor still available?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov data reveals that this experiment, first published on September 20th 2021, is presently enrolling participants. There are 24 openings at two distinct medical centres as of April 2022."

Answered by AI

Are geriatric individuals excluded from the parameters of this research experiment?
