Phase I Study of Umbilical Cord Blood Natural Killer (NK) Cell Therapy for Children With High-risk, R/R Neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor, with more than half of the patients diagnosed at the metastatic stage, classified as high-risk. High-risk neuroblastoma has a poor prognosis and low survival rate. Despite treatment with induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapy including GD2 monoclonal antibody, the survival rate is only about 60%, and many patients still relapse, progress, and die.
NK cell therapy is an emerging immunotherapy that can effectively inhibit and kill tumor cells without significant adverse reactions, reducing the risk of tumor recurrence and metastasis, and improving patients' immunity and quality of life. Its safety has been widely recognized. Currently, clinical trials of NK cell infusion therapy for neuroblastoma patients are ongoing, and NK cell-based immunotherapy holds great clinical promise for neuroblastoma. We plan to conduct a phase I clinical trial on umbilical cord blood NK cell therapy in combination with other treatments (GD2 antibody, chemotherpay, etc) for high-risk, recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma in children to determine the maximum tolerated dose of umbilical cord blood NK cell therapy in these patients, thereby laying the foundation for future combination therapies and phase II and III clinical studies.
