Engineered immune cells delivered directly into the brain or spinal fluid. Some children with diffuse midline glioma, a brainstem tumour with no curative treatment, have had striking, if temporary, responses.
City of Hope IL13Rα2 CAR-T (intraventricular; one complete response 2016, phase 1 of 65 patients 2024 with 50% stable disease or better). Stanford GD2 CAR-T for H3K27M diffuse midline glioma (Majzner/Monje; Nature 2022 and 2024: radiographic and clinical improvement in most, one durable complete response). Penn EGFRvIII CAR-T showed antigen loss; dual-target CARv3-TEAM-E (MGH, 2024-26) and multi-antigen and locoregional approaches follow. Barriers: heterogeneity, antigen loss, exhaustion, neurotoxicity in a closed space.
Locoregional (intraventricular or intratumoural) delivery of CAR-T against glioma-restricted antigens, often repeated.
