Alpha/Beta T and B Cell Depletion With Zoledronic Acid for Solid Tumors
Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation Utilizing Alpha/Beta T Cell and CD19+ B Cell Depletion With Zoledronic Acid in Combination to Treat Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors
Alpha/Beta T and B Cell Depletion With Zoledronic Acid for Solid Tumors (NCT06625190) is a Phase 1 / Phase 2 interventional studying Neuroblastoma and Rhabdomyosarcoma, sponsored by University of Florida. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can cure patients with blood cancer and other underlying diseases. αβ-T cell and B cell depletion has been introduced to decrease GVHD and PTLD and has demonstrated effectiveness for hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases additionally increasing the donor pool as to allow for haploidentical transplant to safely occur. While solid tumors can be highly chemotherapy sensitive, many remain resistant and require multimodalities of treatment. Immunotherapy has been developed to harness the immune system in fighting solid tumors, though not all have targeted effects. Some solid tumors are treated with autologous transplants; however, they do not always demonstrate an improved event free survival or overall survival. There has been evidence of the use of allogeneic stem cell transplants to provide a graft versus tumor effect, though studies remain limited. By utilizing αβ-T cell and B cell depletion for stem cell transplants and combining with zoledronic acid, the immune system may potentially be harnessed and enhanced to provide an improved graft versus tumor effect in relapsed/refractory solid tumors and promote an improved event-free survival and overall survival. This study will investigate the safety of treatment with a stem cell graft depleted of αβ-T cell and CD19+ B cells in combination with zoledronic acid in pediatric and young adult patients with select solid tumors, as well as whether this treatment improves survival rates in these patients.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Neuroblastoma, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
With a target enrollment of 27 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Treatments Being Tested
Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy ® system
Subjects will receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant that has been depleted of ⍺/β T-cells and CD19+ B-cells using the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy® system.
Zoledronic acid
All subjects will receive zoledronic acid intravenously on days +28, +56, +84, +112, and +140. Dosing in the phase Ib portion of the study will follow a 3 + 3 design where the first 3 subjects will receive the expected phase II dose of 1.25 mg/m2 (dose level 1). If no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occur in these subjects, dose level 1 will be the maximum tolerated dose. However, if at least 1 DLT is observed in the first 3 patients, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at dose level 1. If more than 2 DLTs are observed in these 6 subjects, then dose de-escalation to 0.8 mg/m2 (dose level 0) will occur and 3-6 additional subjects may be enrolled. All subjects in the phase II portion of the study will receive the maximum tolerated dose determined in the phase Ib portion.

Who can participate in NCT06625190?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06625190?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
