Personalized cell therapy takes on childhood cancers
NCT ID NCT05642455
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new treatment called afamitresgene autoleucel in children and young adults aged 2 to 21 with advanced cancers that have a specific marker (MAGE-A4). The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, modified to attack the cancer. The main goals are to check safety and see if the tumors shrink.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subject has histologically confirmed diagnosis of any one of the following cancers: (A) Synovial Sarcoma (SS), (B) MPNST, (C) Neuroblastoma, or (D) Osteosarcoma (OS). * Age: (A) Synovial Sarcoma: 2 to 17 years (B) MPNST, Neuroblastoma and Osteosarcoma: 2 to 21 years * Body weight ≥ 10 kg * Must have previously received a systemic chemotherapy * Measurable disease prior to lymphodepletion according to RECIST v1.1 (or INCR, 2017 Neuroblastoma only). * HLA-A\*02 positive * Tumor shows MAGE-A4 expression confirmed by central laboratory. * Performance Status: (A) Subjects ≥16: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1 (B) Subjects 2 to 16: Lansky score ≥ 80 • Subject has anticipated life expectancy of greater than 3 months in the opinion of the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Positive for HLA-A\*02:05 in either allele; or any A\*02 having same protein sequence as HLA-A\*02:05 * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to fludarabine, cyclophosphamide. * History of autoimmune or immune mediated disease * Known central nervous system (CNS) metastases. * Other prior malignancy that is not considered by the Investigator to be in complete remission * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease * Active infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human T cell leukemia virus * Pregnant or breastfeeding * Experiencing ongoing rapid disease progression that in the opinion of the Investigator significantly increases the subjects risk associated with treatment.
