About this trial
This clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IL13Rα2 CAR-T cells secreting anti-PD-L1 antibody in patients with recurrent malignant glioma. This trial is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm investigator-initiated trial (IIT). Patients who have recurrent malignant glioma will receive IL13Rα2 CAR-T cell therapy and will be monitored for safety, adverse events (AEs), and efficacy outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The study will help assess the potential of this innovative therapy in the treatment of glioma and its ability to control tumor growth by targeting both IL13Rα2 and PD-L1.

IL13Rα2 CAR-T Cells Secreting Anti-PD-L1 Antibody
Biological/VaccineAutologous IL13Rα2-targeted CAR-T cells engineered to secrete anti-PD-L1 antibody will be administered after lymphodepleting pretreatment. The study includes peripheral intravenous infusion alone or peripheral intravenous infusion combined with intraventricular injection. Peripheral dose-escalation levels are 1×10\^6 cells/kg, 3×10\^6 cells/kg, and 1×10\^7 cells/kg. In the combined administration strategy, the intraventricular dose is 20%-30% of the peripheral dose, with adjustment based on patient tolerability. Patients will be monitored in the ICU or a dedicated inpatient setting during infusion and for adverse events including CRS and ICANS after infusion.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Incidence of Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events after infusion of IL13Rα2 CAR-T cells secreting anti-PD-L1 antibody, including serious adverse events. Adverse event severity will be graded according to CTCAE version 5.0.
Progression-Free Survival
Progression-free survival, defined as the time from first CAR-T cell infusion to documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Secondary outcomes
Incidence and Maximum Grade of Cytokine Release Syndrome
Incidence and maximum grade of cytokine release syndrome following CAR-T cell infusion, graded according to ASTCT consensus criteria.
Incidence and Maximum Grade of Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome
Incidence and maximum grade of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome following CAR-T cell infusion, graded according to ASTCT consensus criteria.
Overall Survival
Overall survival, defined as the time from first CAR-T cell infusion to death from any cause.
Objective Response Rate by MRI/PET-CT
Objective response rate, defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete response or partial response based on imaging assessment using multimodal MRI and/or PET-CT.
