About this trial

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). Based on this assessment, each participant will receive the most suitable dual-target CAR construct to reduce antigen-escape risk.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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).

Disqualifiers

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).
