Summary

This study tests a new treatment called MT027 for people with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. MT027 uses specially engineered immune cells (UCAR-T cells) that are injected directly into the fluid around the brain. The trial will include 40 adults aged 18-70 and aims to check safety and whether it helps patients live longer.

What this could mean
