Los ensayos clínicos de tumores cerebrales de St. Jude han llevado a mejores terapias para niños. Estas mejoras incluyen terapias de dosis más baja, terapia dirigida y terapia con protones. Estos tratamientos destruyen las células cancerosas y dejan vivas las células sanas. Pueden disminuir los efectos secundarios que afectan la función cerebral después del tratamiento para algunos tipos de tumores cerebrales.
También participamos en ensayos desarrollados por el Grupo de Oncología Pediátrica (COG, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Consorcio Pediátrico de Tumores Cerebrales (PBTC, por sus siglas en inglés). Muchos de nuestros médicos y científicos juegan papeles importantes en el desarrollo de estos grandes estudios. Ocurren en centros de todos los Estados Unidos.

Locoregional Delivery of B7-H3-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor Autologous T-Cells for Pediatric Patients with Primary CNS Tumors
Meta de estudio:
The purpose of this study is to find: 1) the largest dose of Loc3CAR T cells that is safe to give patients with B7-H3–positive brain tumors; 2) the side effects of Loc3CAR T cells; 3) the effect Loc3CAR T cells have on brain tumors.
