First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new type of immunotherapy for adults with brain metastases from various cancers. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, modified to better target and attack tumor cells. The main goals are to see if the approach is safe and feasible in 12 participants.

IL-8 receptor modified CD70 CAR T cells
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for brain metastases that are hard to treat with standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase I trial with only 12 participants, focused on safety. It may not show benefit, and there are risks of serious side effects from the cell therapy.
