Autologous T lymphocyte population that contains cells transduced ex-vivo with a CARv3-TEAM-E lentiviral vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Administered via Ommaya reservoir.
This is a non-randomized, open label, single site Phase 1 study to define the appropriate dose of CARv3-TEAM-E and evaluate its safety for the treatment of recurrent or newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved CARv3-TEAM-E T Cells as a treatment for any disease. This is the first time that CARv3-TEAM-E T Cells will be given to humans.
CARv3-TEAM-E T Cells are made from a person's own collected immune cells (T-Cells) that are genetically changed and then delivered back into the body to try to kill their cancerous cells. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, study treatment, including evaluations and follow up visits, blood collections, echocardiograms, and radiologic imaging of tumors. It is expected participants will receive treatment over a period of short-term (approx.
