Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and how well IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells work when given alone or together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Biological therapies, such as IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells, use substances made from living organisms that may attack specific glioma cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells and nivolumab together may work better in treating patients with glioblastoma.

Primary Outcome

Will assess dose limiting toxicity and all toxicities. Toxicity is the primary endpoint and will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Rates and associated 95% Clopper and Pearson binomial confidence limits (95% confidence interval \[CI\]) will be estimated for participants' experiencing dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during neoadjuvant treatment period (DLT period 1), during adjuvant treatment period (DLT period
