About this trial

A Phase I open-label, multicenter study, to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of treating children with newly diagnosed DIPG or recurrent neuroblastoma with molecular targeted therapy in combination with adoptive cell therapy (Total tumor mRNA-pulsed autologous Dendritic Cells (DCs) (TTRNA-DCs), Tumor-specific ex vivo expanded autologous lymphocyte transfer (TTRNA-xALT) and Autologous G-CSF mobilized Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients that have relapsed following standard of care therapy or having progressed during standard of care therapy and non-responsive/progressive to accepted curative chemotherapy.

Neuroblastoma must be age >12 months at enrollment

Newly-diagnosed patients willing to undergo biopsy

Must be within 2 months of diagnosis and prior to starting radiation

Disqualifiers

Absence of tumor on biopsy specimen or a diagnosis other than NBL or glioma on biopsy

Known autoimmune or immunosuppressive disease or human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Subjects with significant renal, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or other organ dysfunction.

Prior allergic reaction to GM-CSF or Td.

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tumor-specific ex vivo expanded autologous lymphocyte transfer (TTRNA-xALT)

    Biological/Vaccine

    There will be two immunotherapy products manufactured and administered to subjects enrolled on this trial. The first product will be autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with total tumor messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) (TTRNA) derived from malignant tumors. The second product will be autologous T lymphocytes stimulated ex vivo against TTRNA antigens for autologous transfer (TTRNA-xALT). DCs are professional antigen-presenting cells critical for the initiation of B and T-cell responses in vivo.

Treatment groups

24 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Arm 1: Subjects with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Arm 2: Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma (NB)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
