Safety and Efficacy of CAR-T Cell Therapy for Relapsed/refractory Neuroblastoma and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors: a Single-arm, Open-label Trial.

Study Purpose

Title: Safety and efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma and desmoplastic small round cell tumors: a single-arm, open-label trial. The CART used in this study will be provided by Shanghai YaKe Biotechnology Ltd. Aims: 1. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of GD2/B7H3 CAR-T therapy for relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, and observe its pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and the survival of CAR-T cells in relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma patients. 2. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of GD2/B7H3 CAR-T therapy for relapsed/refractory desmoplastic small round cell tumor, and observe its pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and the survival of CAR-T cells in desmoplastic small round cell tumor patients. Patients: Relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma; Relapsed/refractory desmoplastic small round cell tumor. CAR-T therapy: Lymphodepletion treatment will be performed within 14 days prior to CAR-T cell infusion: intravenous chemotherapy based on fludarabine 25mg/m² and cyclophosphamide 500mg/m² for 1 to 3 days. CAR-T cells will then be infused intravenously, with a dosage of 1.00 to 10.00 × 10⁶/kg of CAR-positive T cells. Research period: CAR-T cell infusion will be followed up for one year, or until adverse events resolve, progression occurs, or the patient transitions to other treatments. Outcome measures: Incidence of adverse events related to CAR-T therapy, as well as their intensity and duration; Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of CAR-T in patients and the survival of CAR-T cells. Overall response rate (ORR) after CAR-T cell infusion, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR); Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS), time to progression (TTP), and duration of response (DOR) after CAR-T cell infusion;

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
