Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 1 to 24 with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma or other specified malignant solid tumors.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with brain tumors or those who have not undergone multiple treatment regimens may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and recommended dosing of GAIA-102 in children with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma and other malignant solid tumors. It consists of three cohorts: one testing GAIA-102 alone, another combining it with Dinutuximab, and a third with Nivolumab. The study aims to determine the safety of these combinations and establish appropriate doses for future phases. The trial focuses on patients who have not responded to standard treatments and have specific types of tumors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this trial could provide a new treatment option for children with hard-to-treat cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar biological treatments, but this specific combination approach is novel.
