NCT ID NCT05168423

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether specially engineered immune cells (CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2) are safe and feasible for people with a recurrent, aggressive brain cancer called glioblastoma. About 67 adults whose tumors have returned after standard treatment will receive their own modified cells. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the cells can target and attack the cancer.
