Engineered immune cells target deadly brain tumors in new trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-phase trial tests the safety of a new treatment for people with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma, a serious brain cancer. The therapy uses the patient's own immune cells, modified in a lab to recognize and attack tumor cells, and delivers them directly into t…

Cold virus hijacked to attack returning brain tumors in early trial
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-phase trial tests a modified cold virus (DNX-2401) that is loaded into donor stem cells and injected into the brain's blood supply to target recurrent high-grade gliomas. The virus is designed to infect and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. The study…
