New immunotherapeutic approaches are urgently needed for metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma, which is associated with poor survival and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. Platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) plays an essential role in the onset and development of rhabdomyosarcoma and is a new potential therapeutic target for rhabdomyosarcoma. The objective of this study was to generate humanized PDGFRA single‐chain variable fragment‐based chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐modified T cells (CAR‐T cells) against PDGFRA‐positive rhabdomyosarcoma.
