About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/Phase 2, Open-Label Study of BiomarkerInformed, Allogeneic Dual-Target GD2/B7-H3 (CD276) CAR-NK Cells in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed or Refractory Neuroblastoma

This illustrative Phase 1/Phase 2 study tests allogeneic dual-target GD2/B7-H3 (CD276) CAR-NK cells in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. After lymphodepletion, participants receive IV CAR-NK cells;Part A defines the RP2D and Part B estimates preliminary activity

Read the detailed description

The investigational product in this example is a cord blood-derived allogeneic NK-cell therapy engineered to express a dual-target CAR recognizing GD2 and B7-H3, supported by IL-15 to improve short-term persistence and equipped with an inducible safety switch. The study is designed as a multicenter Phase 1/Phase 2 protocol: Part A uses a standard 3+3 dose-escalation approach across predefined dose levels, and Part B expands at the RP2D in a biomarker-characterized population. All participants undergo central review of tumor tissue or marrow for GD2 and B7-H3 expression before treatment. Patients receive protocol-defined lymphodepletion followed by CAR-NK infusion on Day 0, with optional additional infusions on Days 7 and 14 if there is no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), uncontrolled cytokine release syndrome (CRS), or rapid progression. Formal disease assessment uses revised International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (rINRC). Correlative studies assess CAR-NK expansion and persistence, cytokine kinetics, tumor-response associations with antigen density, and whether future development should remain dualtarget or shift toward a GD2-dominant or B7-H3-enriched strategy. Long-term follow-up for gene-modified cellular therapy is planned per local regulatory requirements.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EB-DTNB-NKExperimentalParticipants receive protocol-defined fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion followed by intravenous allogeneic dual-target GD2/B7-H3 CAR-NK cells on Day 0 at the assigned dose level or RP2D. Additional doses on Days 7 and 14 are permitted if predefined safety criteria are met and there is no prohibitive toxicity or rapid progression.

Model description
Multicenter, open-label, biomarker-informed study with Part A (standard 3+3 dose-escalation) followed by Part B (dose expansion at the RP2D). All treated participants receive the same investigational dual-target CAR-NK product after baseline assessment of GD2 and B7-H3 expression. Biomarker analyses are prespecified to explore which antigen profile appears most suitable for later-stage development.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing EB-DTNB-NK, Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide in people with Relapsed Neuroblastoma and Refractory Neuroblastoma, run by Beijing Biotech at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seni S Lu, Phd (+86 13076790030, Seni-Lu@beijing-biotech.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) after first CARNK infusion, using protocol-defined DLT criteria. (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2026.
