About this trial
This is a single-site, open-label Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the feasibility, safety, and preliminary activity of autologous GPC2-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory medulloblastoma or other eligible Central Nervous System (CNS) embryonal tumors.
