New treatment option for Brain and Nervous System
Official title B7-H3 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (B7-H3CART) in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05474378
What this study is testing
What is B7-H3CART?
B7-H3CART is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for brain and nervous system.
Also referred to as B7H3-CAR T.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is an open label, non-randomized, single site Phase I study to test the manufacturing feasibility and safety of locoregional (LR) administration of B7-H3CART into the central nervous system of adult subjects with recurrent IDH wild-type GBM using a standard 3+3 dose escalation design.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
