NCT ID NCT07428993

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether a single infusion of B7-H3 CAR T cells, given after standard chemotherapy, can prevent the return of high-risk osteosarcoma in children. The study will enroll 41 participants who have completed upfront chemotherapy. Researchers will monitor how long participants stay cancer-free and track any side effects from the cell therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
B7-H3 CAR T cells (a type of immune cell therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new way to prevent osteosarcoma from coming back after standard chemotherapy, potentially improving long-term survival for children with this aggressive cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (41 participants) testing a complex cell therapy. It may not work for everyone, and there are risks of serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or neurological problems. The long-term benefits are still unknown.
