Genetically Modified T-cells in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Malignant Glioma (NCT02208362)

Phase I Study of Cellular ImmunoTx Using Memory Enriched T Cells Lentivirally Transduced to Express an IL13Rฮฑ2-Specific, Hinge-Optimized, 41BB-Costimulatory Chimeric Receptor and a Truncated CD19 for Pts With Rec/Ref MaligGlioma

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell immunotherapy in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to therapy (refractory). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body. T cells are taken from the patient's blood and a modified gene is placed into them in the laboratory and this may help them recognize and kill glioma cells. Genetically modified T-cells may also help the body build an immune response against the tumor cells.
