Study Summary

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of chemotherapy and cellular immunotherapy in treating children with IL13Ralpha2 positive brain tumors that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Cellular immunotherapy (IL13(EQ)BBzeta/CD19t+ T cells) are brain-tumor specific cells that may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Many patients with brain tumor respond to treatment, but then the tumor starts to grow again. Giving chemotherapy in combination with cellular immunotherapy may kill more tumor cells and improve the outcome of treatment.

Primary Outcome

Will assess the incidence of grade 3 toxicities, dose limiting toxicities, and all other toxicities. Toxicity and adverse events will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0 and the revised cytokine release syndrome (CRS) grading system. Symptoms and toxicities will be evaluated by physical exam and blood chemistry/hematology results and adverse event reporting. Rate and associated 90% Clopper and Pearson binomial confidence limits (90% CI) will b
