NCT ID NCT07386002

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MT027 UCAR-T cells (a type of immune cell therapy) targeting B7H3
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with recurrent glioblastoma, potentially extending survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves direct brain injection and carries risks like brain swelling or infection.
