This study investigates delivering genetically engineered EGFR/IL13Rα2-targeted CAR-T cells directly to the tumor site in the brain in people with recurrent or progressive high-grade brain tumors (high-grade glioma). Adults aged 18 and over diagnosed with glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma whose disease has progressed after standard therapy, and whose tumor is IL13Rα2-positive and carries an EGFR gene alteration, may take part. It is being carried out in Phase 1 and is currently recruiting participants.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Main Inclusion Criteria * Documented informed consent of the participant and/or legally authorized representative. * Agreement to allow the use of archival tissue from diagnostic tumor biopsies. If unavailable, exceptions may be granted with Study PI approval. * Age 18 years and older. * KPS ≥ 70%, ECOG ≤ 2 (Appendix A). * Life expectancy ≥ 4 weeks. * Participant has a prior histologically confirmed diagnosis of a glioblastoma (IDH-wildtype) or grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma, or has a prior histologically confirmed diagnosis of a grade 2 or 3 astrocytoma and now has radiographic progression consistent with grade 4 IDH-mutant astrocytoma. * Relapsed disease: radiographic evidence of recurrence/progression of measurable disease after standard therapy (such as temozolomide with or without Optune device), and ≥ 12 weeks after completion of front-line radiation therapy. * COH Clinical Pathology assessment at the initial tumor presentation or recurrent disease (reference Appendix B): * IL13Rα2+ expression by IHC \> 20, and * EGFR gene-altered by NGS or FISH analysis * No known contraindications to leukapheresis, steroids, imaging studies, or tocilizumab. * WBC \> 2000 /dl (or ANC ≥ 1,000/mm3) * Platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3 * Hemoglobin \> 9g/dL * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN * AST ≤ 2.5x ULN * ALT ≤ 2.5x ULN * Serum creatinine ≤1.6 mg/dL * O2 saturation ≥ 95% on room air. * Seronegative for HIV Ag/Ab combo, HCV, and active HBV * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test. * Agreement by females and males of childbearing potential to use an effective method of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through at least 3 months after the last dose of CAR T cells. Main Exclusion Criteria * Owing to higher frequency of wound-related complications, participants who require active bevacizumab therapy at the time of enrollment are excluded. * Participant has not yet recovered from toxicities of prior therapy. * Participant has received any live vaccine within 30 days prior to enrollment. * Uncontrolled seizure activity and/or clinically evident progressive encephalopathy. * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study agent. * Clinically significant uncontrolled illness. * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy * Active infection requiring IV antibiotics (for example, minor scalp infection is not exclusion). * Known history of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. * Other active malignancy. * Females only: Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the subject's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures. * Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).
