Abstract

Immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–expressing T cells that target the disialoganglioside GD2 expressed on tumor cells may be a therapeutic option for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. Download a PDF of the Research Summary. In an academic, phase 1–2 clinical trial, we enrolled patients (1 to 25 years of age) with relapsed or refractory, high-risk neuroblastoma in order to test autologous, third-generation GD2-CAR T cells expressing the inducible caspase 9 suicide gene (GD2-CART01). A total of 27 children with heavily pretreated neuroblastoma (12 with refractory disease, 14 with relapsed disease, and 1 with a complete response at the end of first-line therapy) were enrolled and received GD2-CART01. No failure to generate GD2-CART01 was observed. Three dose levels were tested (3-, 6-, and 10×106 CAR-positive T cells per kilogram of body weight) in the phase 1 portion of the trial, and no dose-limiting toxic effects were recorded; the recommended dose for the phase 2 portion of the trial was 10×106 CAR-positive T cells per kilogram. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 20 of 27 patients (74%) and was mild in 19 of 20 (95%). In 1 patient, the suicide gene was activated, with rapid elimination of GD2-CART01. GD2-targeted CAR T cells expanded in vivo and were detectable in peripheral blood in 26 of 27 patients up to 30 months after infusion (median persistence, 3 months; range, 1 to 30). Seventeen children had a response to the treatment (overall response, 63%); 9 patients had a complete response, and 8 had a partial response. Among the patients who received the recommended dose, the 3-year overall survival and event-free survival were 60% and 36%, respectively. The use of GD2-CART01 was feasible and safe in treating high-risk neuroblastoma. Treatment-related toxic effects developed, and the activation of the suicide gene controlled side effects. GD2-CART01 may have a sustained antitumor effect. (Funded by the Italian Medicines Agency and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03373097.)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
