Engineered immune cells injected directly into brain to fight cancer

NCT ID NCT02442297

Summary

This early-phase study is testing the safety of a new treatment for people with recurrent or treatment-resistant brain tumors that have a specific marker called HER2. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells (T cells), modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack the cancer, and then inject them directly into the brain. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose and understand the side effects of this experimental therapy.
