Summary of CAR-T-cell clinical trials in GBM.

Ref. Target Antigen Conditions NCT No. Phase Lessons Learned
49 IL13Rα2 WHO Stage 3 or 4 unifocal supratentorial GBM recurring or resistant NCT00730613 N/A(pilot study) Repeated dosage, no negative side effects from therapy, and temporary anti-glioma action are all made possible by intracranial administration of CAR-T cells via a reservoir/catheter system.
50 IL13Rα2 Recurring multifocal GBM NCT02208362 Phase I 2016: Case Report: Intraventricular infusion of CAR-T cells causes CNS malignancies, specifically spinal tumors, to recede; there is no systemic damage and the effect lasts for 7.5 months. 2024: For recurring GBM, along intraventricular and intratumoral administration of CAR-T demonstrated a prolonged survival; 50% of patients had stable tumors or greater, with two limited actions, one complete action, and a second complete response following extra CAR-T phases off protocol (7.7 months vs. 10.2 months).
51 IL13Rα2 Growing or recurring WHO Grade 3 or 4 malignant GBM NCT01082926 Phase I Indications for regional tumor necrosis, no graft-versus-host disease, and no side effects associated with the device
52 EGFRvIII Recurrent GBM NCT02209376 Phase I Absence of syndrome of cytokines release or therapy-related toxic effects, CAR-T cell migration to the tumor spot, and elimination of the EGFRvIII antigen
53 EGFRvIII Recurrent GBM NCT01454596 Phase I No toxicities that restrict dosage till the maximum dose (≥1010)
no unbiased answers found.
54 EGFR and EGFRvIII Recurrent GBM NCT05660369 Phase I/pilot Targeting EGFR variant III and wild-type EGFR, CARv3-TEAM-E T cells demonstrated encouraging safety profiles with no serious side effects or dose-limiting toxic effects, as well as temporary tumor shrinkage.
55 B7-H3 Recurrent GBM - - Case Report: Short-term anti-tumor response generated by intraventricular T cells
