Recruiting PHASE1 Glioblastoma

New treatment option for Glioblastoma

Official title Dual-Targeting CAR-NK Cells for Recurrent/Progressive Glioblastoma and High-Grade Glioma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07480941

What this study is testing

What is Dual-target CAR-NK cells?

Dual-target CAR-NK cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for glioblastoma.

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 a draft, ClinicalTrials.gov-style example record for a first-in-human Phase 1 study evaluating locoregional administration of dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells in adults with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) or other high-grade glioma (HGG). Participants will undergo tumor antigen profiling for IL13Rα2, EGFR/EGFRvIII, and B7-H3 (CD276).

Who can take part

Ages 18 to 75

You may be able to join if

  • Age 18 to 75 years at the time of consent.
  • Histologically confirmed glioblastoma (WHO grade 4) or diffuse high-grade glioma (WHO grade 3 or 4) that is recurrent or progressive after standard...
  • Planned clinically indicated tumor resection or stereotactic biopsy (or availability of adequate archived tumor tissue) to support antigen testing...
  • Tumor demonstrates expression of at least two of the following antigens above protocol-defined thresholds: IL13Rα2, EGFR (wild-type) and/or EGFRvIII...
  • Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60.

You likely can't join if

  • Active, uncontrolled infection (including uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection).
  • Known HIV infection with uncontrolled viral load; active hepatitis B or hepatitis C with detectable viral load (unless permitted per protocol).
  • Clinically significant autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression within the past 6 months.
  • Requirement for high-dose systemic corticosteroids (e.g., \>4 mg/day dexamethasone equivalent) within 7 days prior to lymphodepletion/infusion...
  • Prior gene-modified cellular therapy (e.g., prior CAR-T/CAR-NK) within 6 months, or prior therapy targeting IL13Rα2, EGFR/EGFRvIII, or B7-H3 where...

Who can join
  • Age 18 to 75 years at the time of consent.
  • Histologically confirmed glioblastoma (WHO grade 4) or diffuse high-grade glioma (WHO grade 3 or 4) that is recurrent or progressive after standard therapy.
  • Planned clinically indicated tumor resection or stereotactic biopsy (or availability of adequate archived tumor tissue) to support antigen testing and locoregional catheter placement.
  • Tumor demonstrates expression of at least two of the following antigens above protocol-defined thresholds: IL13Rα2, EGFR (wild-type) and/or EGFRvIII, B7-H3 (CD276).
  • Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60.
  • Adequate organ function (hematologic, renal, hepatic) as defined by protocol laboratory criteria.
  • Ability to undergo brain MRI with contrast (unless contraindicated and alternative imaging is permitted).
  • Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential; agreement to use effective contraception during study participation and for a protocol-defined period after infusion.
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign informed consent.
What rules you out
  • Active, uncontrolled infection (including uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection).
  • Known HIV infection with uncontrolled viral load; active hepatitis B or hepatitis C with detectable viral load (unless permitted per protocol).
  • Clinically significant autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression within the past 6 months.
  • Requirement for high-dose systemic corticosteroids (e.g., \>4 mg/day dexamethasone equivalent) within 7 days prior to lymphodepletion/infusion (physiologic replacement permitted).
  • Prior gene-modified cellular therapy (e.g., prior CAR-T/CAR-NK) within 6 months, or prior therapy targeting IL13Rα2, EGFR/EGFRvIII, or B7-H3 where residual engineered cells could confound safety assessments.
  • Diffuse leptomeningeal disease as the only site of disease, or anatomy that precludes safe catheter placement (unless specifically allowed by protocol).
  • Uncontrolled seizures despite optimal medical therapy.
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled arrhythmia) that would increase risk with lymphodepletion or infusion procedures.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or could interfere with protocol adherence.
