GD2-CAR T Cells for Pediatric Brain Tumours

Is NCT05298995 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies GD2-CART01 (iC9-GD2-CAR T-cells) for brain tumor, pediatric.

Phase 1RecruitingBambino Gesù Hospital and Research InstituteNCT05298995Data as of Jun 2026Location: Italy

Treatment: GD2-CART01 (iC9-GD2-CAR T-cells)The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of iC9-GD2-CAR T-cells, a third generation (4.1BB-CD28) CAR T cell treatment targeting GD2 in paediatric or young adult patients affected by relapsed/refractory malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In order to improve the safety of the approach, the suicide gene inducible Caspase 9 (iC9) has been included.
