Study Summary

This trial tests safety and effectiveness of new cell therapy for glioblastoma brain tumors that have come back after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, after radiotherapy. Candidates must have adequate organ function, EGFR-amplified tumors confirmed by specific tests, and agree to use birth control. Excluded are those with active hepatitis B/C, severe comorbidities, recent bevacizumab treatment, autoimmune diseases needing high-dose steroids or pregnant/nursing women.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells in patients whose glioblastoma has returned despite prior treatments. It's an early-phase trial where participants receive genetically modified T cells targeting two specific molecules on their cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune reactions due to modified T cell activity against the tumor which can affect normal tissues as well. Specific side effects aren't listed but typically involve flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and possible organ inflammation.
