New treatment option for Sarcoma
Official title Hypofractionated Radiation in Combination With B7-H3-CAR T Cells for Pediatric Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Sarcomas
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07222735
What this study is testing
What is Fludarabine?
Fludarabine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for sarcoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- RAD3CAR is a phase I study designed to evaluatethe safety of B7-H3-CAR T cells and lymphodepletion in combination with hypofractionated radiation therapy. Primary objective: \- To evaluate the safety of B7-H3-CAR T cell therapy after priming with hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) and lymphodepleting chemotherapy in patients ≤ 21 years of age with relapsed/refractory B7-H3+ sarcomas.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
