Immunotherapy for Solid Tumor Malignancies in Pediatrics Using Interleukin-15 and -21 Armored Glypican-3-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study will enroll pediatric and young adult subjects with relapsed or refractory non-central nervous system (CNS) malignant solid tumors expressing glypican-3 (GPC3) to examine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that have been genetically modified to co-express a GPC3-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), interleukin (IL)-15 and IL-21 as well as the inducible caspase 9 (iC9) suicide gene (SC-CAR.GPC3xIL15.21 T cells). A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have a blood sample collected, which will be used to bioengineer the CAR T cells targeting their tumor.

    • History of organ transplantation
    • Known HIV positivity
    • Active bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (except Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus infections)
  • History of hypersensitivity reactions to murine protein-containing products OR presence of human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) prior to enrollment for patients who have received prior therapy with murine antibodies.
    • History of organ transplantation
    • Known HIV positivity
  • Live vaccines within 30 days prior to enrollment
    • Active bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (except Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus infections)
  • Systemic steroid treatment (≥ 0.5 mg prednisone equivalent/kg/day, dose adjustment or discontinuation of medication must occur at least 24hrs prior to CAR T cell infusion)
