First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) can be safely given directly into the brain or spinal fluid of children and young adults with aggressive brain tumors like DIPG, DMG, or other recurrent central nervous system cancers. The cells are designed to recognize and attack a protein called B7-H3 found on tumor cells. The main goals are to see if the treatment is safe and if the cells can be made and delivered as planned.
