Engineered immune cells take aim at stubborn bone cancer
Disease control OngoingThis early-phase trial tests a two-part treatment for osteosarcoma that has come back or not responded to standard care. First, a patient's own T cells are collected and genetically modified to become CAR T cells that can recognize a special flag. Then, after some chemotherapy, t…

Engineered immune cells injected directly into brain show promise for kids with deadly tumors
Disease control OngoingThis early-phase study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) can be safely given directly into the brain or spinal fluid of children and young adults with HER2-positive brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The therapy a…
