Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment for people with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer that has come back. The therapy uses special neural stem cells that can find cancer cells in the brain and release a virus that kills them. The main goal is to check the safety of giving multiple doses directly into the brain, and to see if it helps control the disease.
