First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new approach for people with high-grade gliomas that have returned after prior treatment. Genetically modified neural stem cells are placed directly into the brain tumor to make it more sensitive to the chemotherapy drug irinotecan. The main goal is to find the safest dose and understand side effects. About 18 adults with recurrent glioblastoma or similar brain cancers are participating.
