Summary

This early-phase study tested a treatment using donated natural killer (NK) cells from cord blood, combined with chemotherapy, for children and young adults with solid tumors that returned or didn't respond to standard care. The goal was to find the safest dose and check for side effects. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
