This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.
