Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for patients with specific types of sarcoma that have a certain protein called HER2. Participants will receive a special treatment that uses modified T cells along with an immune therapy drug, and their health will be monitored for side effects and effectiveness.

About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to learn whether it is safe to give HER2-CAR T cells in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug (pembrolizumab or nivolumab), to learn what the side effects are, and to see whether this therapy might help patients with sarcoma. Another goal of this study is to study the bacteria found in the stool of patients with sarcoma who are being treated with HER2 C…
