About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Multicenter Study With a Safety Run-In to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of MT027 Administrated Intracerebroventricularly in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma (WHO Grade 4)

This is a Phase II trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK/ pharmacodynamic profiles of MT027 injected via ICV in participants with recurrent or progressive IDH-wildtype glioblastoma (WHO 2021 CNS Grade 4), who have previously received standard of care (SOC) therapy.

Each participant will undergo screening, treatment (receiving MT027 at a dose of 3×10^7 cells), safety follow-up, and long-term follow-up periods.

MT027 will be given via ICV injection on Day 1 \& Day 15 of the first 28-day cycle. If the participant does not experience any unacceptable toxicities and disease progress in the first cycle, additional treatment may be continued bi-weekly in a 28-day cycle (Days 1 \& Day 15 of the 28-day cycle) until intolerable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal from the study, or death, whichever comes first. After the last dose, there will be a safety follow-up period lasting for 1 year and then a long-term follow-up up to 15 years.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK/ pharmacodynamic profiles of MT027 injected via ICV in participants with recurrent or progressive IDH-wildtype glioblastoma (WHO 2021 CNS Grade 4), who have previously received standard of care (SOC) therapy.

The study will begin with a safety run-in of 3 to 6 participants to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT027 at a dose of 3×10^7 cells. Once the DLT assessment is complete, an additional 34 participants will be enrolled, bringing the total to 40, to evaluate the treatment's efficacy. Each participant will undergo screening, treatment, safety follow-up, and long-term follow-up periods. Any participant who has discontinued from study treatment other than disease progression will also continue to have tumor assessments until disease progression, initiation of subsequent anticancer therapies, withdrawal from the study, or death, whichever comes first. Upon completion of the safety follow-up, all patients, except those who died, withdrew consent, or were lost to follow-up, will enter to the long-term follow-up. It is regarded as the end of the study when the last participant has completed the 1-year long-term follow-up, or all participants have progressed, died, or lost to follow-up, whichever comes first. MT027 will be given via ICV injection on Day 1 \& Day 15 of the first 28-day cycle, and the DLT observation period will be 28 days following the first dose of the first cycle (only for safety run-in group). After the DLT observation period, if the participant does not experience any unacceptable toxicities and disease progress, additional treatment may be continued bi-weekly in a 28-day cycle (Days 1 \& Day 15 of the 28-day cycle) until intolerable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal from the study, or death, whichever comes first. When confirming disease progression, the study treatment may still be continued if there's a potential for benefit, based on PI's discretion and the participant's willingness, particularly when there are no better treatment options available. Investigational product (IP) may be temporarily interrupted to allow safety management and will resume the study treatment dose after participant's adverse events are recovered to the Grade 1 level or baseline, per PI's discretion. After the last dose, there will be a safety follow-up period lasting for 1 year and then a long-term follow-up up to 15 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intracerebroventricular injection of MT027 UCAR-T Cell targeting B7H3 in people with Glioblastoma IDH (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase) Wildtype, run by T-MAXIMUM Pharmaceutical Inc at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 27 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Taiwan, United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dan Wang, MD (0000000000, wangdan@t-maximum.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence rate of Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: From the first dose to 2 weeks after the second dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
