NCT ID NCT06482905

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called TX103 CAR-T cells for people with recurrent or progressive grade 4 glioma, a very aggressive brain cancer. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, engineering them to recognize and attack cancer cells, and infusing them back. The main goals are to check safety and find the best dose, with 52 participants enrolled.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

TX103 CAR-T cells (immune cells engineered to target B7-H3 on cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with recurrent grade 4 glioma, a very aggressive brain cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) and small trial (52 people) focused on safety and dosing. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome, and it's unknown if it will shrink tumors or extend survival.
