This is a Phase I, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation study testing the safety and effectiveness of a new cell therapy B7-H3.CD28Z.CART / B7-H3 CAR T cells in children and young adult subjects with relapsed and/or refractory solid tumors expressing B7-H3. The B7-H3 protein is found in high levels on many pediatric solid tumors (like neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and others), this cell therapy uses genetically altered blood cells as an investigational cell product designed to recognize, bind to and help kill cells that express B7-H3. This is the first time that these specific B7-H3 CAR T cells will be given to humans. There are several other studies using a similar genetically modified version of B7-H3 CAR T cells and other studies have shown that B7-H3 is a safe target. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved B7-H3 CAR T cells as a treatment for any disease. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic visits, blood tests, urine tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms (ECHOs), bone marrow biopsies and aspirations. It is expected up to 40 people will take part in this research study. Band of Parents a non-profit organization is supporting this research study by providing funding.
