First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new treatment for advanced osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma that has not responded to standard therapy. Researchers take a patient's own immune cells (T cells), add a gene to help them recognize and attack cancer cells, and combine them with a chickenpox vaccine to help the cells last longer in the body. The main goal is to find a safe dose and understand side effects in about 26 participants.
