View original scientific description
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of a consolidative B7-H3 CAR T cell therapy in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk osteosarcoma who have undergone upfront standard chemotherapy. Primary Objectives: \- To evaluate 1-year RFS from the time of SJCARB7H3\_41BBL infusion for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma who received standard chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the OS from time of SJCARB7H3\_41BBL infusion for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma who received standard chemotherapy. * To evaluate the feasibility of delivering SJCARB7H3\_41BBL at the end of standard therapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma. * To describe the safety of autologous SJCARB7H3\_41BBL therapy when delivered at the end of standard therapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma.
Interventions
DRUG
Cyclophosphamide
IV
DRUG
Fludarabine
IV
DRUG
Mesna
IV prior to and again at 3, 6, and 9 hours following each dose of cyclophosphamide.
PROCEDURE
Apheresis
IV collection
PROCEDURE
SJCARB7H3_41BBL infusion
1X107 CAR+ T cells/kg
Primary outcome measures
Event-free survival (EFS), defined as time from SJCARB7H3_41BBL infusion to disease relapse, progressive disease, new systemic therapy, secondary malignancy or death
Time frame: Time from SJCARB7H3_41BBL infusion to time of first event, followed up to 24-months post-infusion
Event-free participants will be censored at the time of last follow-up. This analysis will report the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve, along with the 12-month EFS estimate and its 80% confidence interval using the arcsine-square root transformation. Evaluable participants are those who complete standard chemotherapy, receive SJCARB7H3\_41BBL and are treated on the regimen used for the Efficacy phase.
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.

- Respiratory: Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air without supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation
- Laboratory values meet the following criteria:
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 750 cells/uL
- Platelet Count of ≥ 75,000 (can be transfused)
- Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL (can be transfused)
- Participant is ≥ 7 days from receiving supra-physiologic dosing of systemic (IV or PO) corticosteroids. Glucocorticosteroid physiologic replacement therapy for management of adrenal insufficiency is allowed.
- Participant and/or legally authorized representative has signed the Informed Consent Form for the treatment phase of this study.
Exclusion criteria
- Major surgical adverse event related to the primary tumor local control defined as Clavien-Dindo category 3 requiring ongoing wound care.
- Evidence of clinically significant encephalopathy/new focal neurologic deficits.
- Presence of active severe infection, defined as:
- positive blood culture within 48 hours of enrollment, OR
- fever above 38.2° C, AND clinical signs of infection within 48 hours of enrollment
- Participant has received prior disease-directed therapy other than 1st line therapy with methotrexate, an anthracycline, and a platinum and local control surgery • Regimen B only - okay to have undergone initial pulmonary metastasectomy
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Presence of any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prohibit the participant from undergoing treatment under this protocol

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.
