Allogeneic Expanded Gamma Delta T Cells With GD2 Chemoimmunotherapy in Relapsed /Refractory Neuroblastoma or Refractory/ Relapsed Osteosarcoma

(Aflac-NBL-2002)

What this study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of allogeneic expanded γδ T cells when delivered with Dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan, and zoledronate in children with refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma or refractory/ relapsed osteosarcoma as well as to define the toxicities of allogeneic expanded γδ T cells when delivered with Dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan, and zoledronate

View original scientific description

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of allogeneic expanded γδ T cells when delivered with Dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan, and zoledronate in children with refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma or refractory/ relapsed osteosarcoma as well as to define the toxicities of allogeneic expanded γδ T cells when delivered with Dinutuximab, temozolomide, irinotecan, and zoledronate

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Ex Vivo Expanded Allogeneic γδ T Cells in Combination with Dinutuximab, Temozolomide, Irinotecan and Zoledronate

The cell dose will be based on the subject's body weight. Subjects will receive a single infusion of third party, ex vivo expanded, frozen then thawed γδ T cell product at a dose of 3 x 106 cells/kg on Day 6 and then if they meet criteria for subsequent γδ T cell dose will receive a second dose of 3 x 106 cells/kg on Day 13. The dose will be escalated to 1 x 10\^7 and then 3 x 10\^7 cells/kg. In absence of any dose limiting toxicity, 3 x 10\^7 cells/kg will be accepted as the maximal dose. Dinutuximab (17.5 mg/m2), temozolomide (100 mg/m2),irinotecan (50 mg/m2) and zoledronic acid (0.0125 mg/kg/dose) will be consistent across all dose levels. Max γδ T cell dose will not exceed Level 3 dosing at 50 kg: 1.5×10⁹ total γδ T cells.

Primary outcome measures

Maximum Tolerated Dose/Recommended Phase 2 Dose of gamma delta T cells

Time frame: 21 Days

The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 will be utilized for adverse event (AE) reporting. The MTD/RP2D is defined as the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience dose limiting toxicity course

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients must be ≥ 12 months of age at the time of enrollment in the study.
  • Diagnosis: Histological confirmation of neuroblastoma or ganglioneuroblastoma at initial diagnosis. (Bone marrow samples with positive catecholamines are acceptable as confirmation of neuroblastoma) OR histological confirmation of osteosarcoma at diagnosis
  • Response to prior therapy:
  • High-risk neuroblastoma with refractory, relapsed or progressive disease, defined as:
  • First or greater relapse of neuroblastoma following completion of aggressive multi- drug frontline therapy.
  • First episode of progressive neuroblastoma during aggressive multi-drug frontline therapy.
  • Persistent/refractory neuroblastoma as defined by less than a complete response by the revised International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC) after at least 4 cycles of aggressive multidrug induction chemotherapy on or according to a high-risk neuroblastoma protocol (such as A3973 or ANBL0532).
  • Note that this excludes patients initially considered low or intermediate-risk neuroblastoma that progressed to high-risk disease but the patient has not progressed after the diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma.
  • Relapsed or refractory osteosarcoma that is not responsive to standard treatment
  • Disease Status
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease per revised INRC for subjects with neuroblastoma or measurable or evaluable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 for subjects with Osteosarcoma
  • Performance Level:Patients must have a Lansky (≤16 years) or Karnofsky (\>16 years) score of ≥50
  • Prior Therapy
  • Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy before study registration.
  • Prior dinutuximab therapy is allowed regardless of prior response or progression on dinutuximab
  • Prior temozolomide therapy is allowed
  • Prior zoledronate is allowed
  • Prior dinutuximab/temozolomide/irinotecan chemoimmunotherapy is allowed
  • Prior T cell therapy is excluded
  • Organ Function Requirements:
  • Hematologic Functions : Absolute Neutrofil count ≥750/uL and platelet count ≥ 75,000/µl, transfusion independent .
  • Renal Function: Patients must have adequate renal function defined as age-adjusted serum creatinine ≤1.5 ULN for age.
  • Liver Function: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN for age and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) (ALT) ≤ 135 U/L (≤ 3x ULN).
  • Cardiac Function: Normal ejection fraction (≥ 55%) documented by either echocardiogram or radionuclide multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) evaluation OR Normal fractional shortening (≥ 27%) documented by echocardiogram
  • Pulmonary Function: Normal pulmonary function with no evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance.

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior T cell therapy
  • Pregnancy, breast feeding, or unwillingness to use effective contraception during the study will not be entered on this study.
  • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study.
  • Patients with known active Central Nervous System (CNS) disease (excluding skull disease with intracranial extension). Patients with a history of CNS disease are required to have a brain CT and/ or MRI at study registration.
  • Patients with prior allogeneic stem cell transplant
  • Patients who are on hemodialysis
  • Patients with an active or uncontrolled infection. Patients on prolonged antifungal therapy are still eligible if they are culture negative, afebrile, and meet other organ function criteria
  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. Testing is not required in the absence of clinical findings or suspicion.
  • Patients with disease of any major organ system that would compromise their ability to withstand therapy.
  • Patients who have had to permanently discontinue Dinutuximab due to toxicity
  • Patients with serious, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias
  • Patients with a history of myocarditis
  • Patients who have received any live vaccines within 30 days before enrollment

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
