First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment for glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain cancer that has returned after standard therapy. Researchers give patients specially engineered natural killer (NK) cells from donated cord blood. These cells are modified to resist the tumor's defenses and may help control the disease. The main goal is to find the safest dose and check for side effects in about 25 participants.
