About this trial

This is an open-label, phase 1b study to evaluate different approaches for CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 dosing and further characterize the safety, feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CART-EGFR-IL13Ra2 cells in patients with EGFR-amplified glioblastoma that has recurred following prior radiotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed, written informed consent

Male or female age ≥ 18 years

Patients with glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (as defined by WHO 2021 Classification of CNS Tumors) that has recurred following prior radiotherapy1. For patients with tumors harboring methylation of the MGMT promoter, a t l east 1 2 w eeks must have elapsed since completion of first-line radiotherapy.

Tumor tissue positive for wild-type EGFR amplification by NeoGenomics Laboratories. Archival tumor from patient's initial surgery at time of original diagnosis or recently collected tumor from time of recurrence are acceptable.

Disqualifiers

Active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.

Any other active, uncontrolled infection.

Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association Classification

Tumors primarily localized to the brain stem or spinal cord.

Trial design
