Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
2. Male or female subjects aged 18 to 75 years (both inclusive).
3. Subject must have histologically diagnosed grade 4 glioma, such as glioblastoma, grade 4 astrocytoma, diffuse hemispheric glioma, according to 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the CNS. Subjects must have had experienced disease recurrence or progression\* after surgery combined with Stupp regimen (concurrent radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) followed by adjuvant TMZ) and are not candidate for re-resection. For subjects harboring specific gene mutations, such as NTRK gene fusion or BRAF V600E mutation, they must have also progressed on corresponding mutation-directed therapies before enrollment.

Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment called anti-B7-H3 CAR-T cell injection for people with Grade 4 Glioma. The study will look at how safe and effective the treatment is and

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with Grade 4 Glioma, such as glioblastoma, that has come back or gotten worse after standard treatment. They must have B7-H3 positive tumors and be in a condition where they can perform daily activities to some extent (KPS score ≥60). Their heart should pump well (LVEF ≥40%) and they need good oxygen levels while resting.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests TX103 CAR-T cell therapy's safety and effectiveness against aggressive brain cancer. It's an early-stage trial to find the highest dose patients can take without serious side effects and decide on the best dose for future studies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a phase I trial primarily assessing safety, specific side effects are not listed but may include typical CAR-T related reactions like fever, fatigue, immune system complications, neurological events, and potential impact on normal blood cells.
