CAR-T Cell Immunotherapy for GD2 Positive Glioma Patients

Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Modified T Cells for GD2 Positive Recurrent and Metastatic Glioma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in treating with GD2 positive glioma patients.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a recombinant receptor with both antigen-binding and T cell activating functions. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell Immunotherapy has more advantages compared with conventional immunotherapy, especially in dealing with patients of hematologic malignancies and solid malignant tumors.This study design a novel specific Chimeric antigen receptor aiming at GD2 antigen. After CAR-T cell infusion, At periodic intervals, the investigators will evaluate clinical symptoms Improved conditions of this disease.Through this study, the investigators will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in treating with GD2 positive glioma patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The primary GD2 positive patients, the best are glioma patients.

2. The recurrent GD2 positive patients, the best are glioma patients.

3. Patients must have evidence of adequate bone marrow reserve, hepatic and renal function as evidenced by the following laboratory parameters:

   • Absolute neutrophil count greater than 1500/mm3.
   • Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3.
   • Hemoglobin greater than 10g/dl (patients may receive transfusions to meet this parameter).
   • Total bilirubin < 1.5 times upper limits of normal.
   • Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.6 mg/ml or the creatinine clearance must be greater than 70 ml/min/1.73m(2).
   • Seronegative for HIV antibody.
   • Seronegative for active hepatitis B, and seronegative for hepatitis C antibody.

4. Patients must be willing to practice birth control during and for four months following treatment.

   NOTE: women of child-bearing age must have evidence of negative pregnancy test.

5. Patients must be willing to sign an informed consent.
