Clinical Trial: Blood T-Cells and EBV Specific CTLs Expressing GD-2 Specific Chimeric T Cell Receptors to Neuroblastoma Patients
This study is currently recruiting patients.
|
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the biggest dose of antibody-attached T cells that is safe, to see how long each sort of T cell lasts, to learn what the side effects are and to see whether this therapy might help children with neuroblastoma.

Official Title: Administration of Peripheral Blood T-Cells and EBV Specific CTLs Transduced to Express GD-2 Specific Chimeric T Cell Receptors to Patients with Neuroblastoma
Expected Total Enrollment: 18
Study start: April 2003
PATIENT TREATMENT Three different dose levels will be evaluated. Three to six patients will be evaluated on each level. Each patient will receive two injections, 14 days apart, according to the following dosing schedules:
Group One
- Day 0 CTLs: 2x10^7 cells/m2 PBMCs: 2x10^7 cells/m2
- Day 14 CTLs: 2x10^7 cells/m2 PBMCs: 2x10^7 cells/m2
Group Two
- Day 0 CTLs: 2x10^7 cells/m2 PBMCs: 2x10^7 cells/m2
- Day 14 CTLs: 1x10^8 cells/m2 PBMCs: 1x10^8 cells/m2
Group Three
- Day 0 CTLs: 1x10^8 cells/m2 PBMCs: 1x10^8 cells/m2
- Day 14 CTLs: 1x10^8 cells/m2 PBMCs: 1x10^8 cells/m2
