Breaking Through Resistance: Next-Gen Immunotherapy for Kids Grant

Project Title

B7H3 CAR-Ts for B7H3+ relapsed/refractory pediatric solid tumors

Layman’s summary

Children and young adults with relapsed or treatment-resistant solid tumors have had less than a 20% survival rate for decades, highlighting the need for new therapies. This project is testing a new B7H3-targeted CAR T cell treatment enhanced with dasatinib during manufacturing to improve T-cell function. Early trial results show encouraging signs of activity. The goal is to assess its safety and effectiveness, offering new hope for patients with few remaining options. This grant was co-funded by Trial Blazers for Kids.
