Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new type of personalized cell therapy for patients with aggressive brain tumors that have returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. Doctors collect a patient's own immune cells, genetically modify them in a lab to recognize and attack tumor cells, and then infuse them back into the brain. The main goals are to find the safest dose and understand the side effects of this experimental approach.
