Engineered immune cells injected directly into brain to fight childhood tumors

NCT ID NCT05835687

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for children and young adults (up to age 21) with certain brain tumors that have come back or not responded to standard therapy. The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, which are modified in a lab to recognize and attack a protein called B7-H3 found on tumor cells. These cells are delivered directly into the fluid around the brain through a small tube. The main goal is to find the safest dose and see if it can shrink tumors.
