A Study to Evaluate the Safety of a Stem Cell-Based Gene and Cell Therapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

This is a phase I clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose of MSC11FCD, an investigational allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy expressing a suicide gene, in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The investigational product is administered intratumorally following surgical resection. This study aims to explore whether MSC11FCD can provide a targeted, localized treatment option during the postsurgical period, potentially addressing residual tumor cells and reducing early recurrence.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT07143812
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and rapidly progressing malignant brain tumor classified as a grade IV glioma. Despite the current standard of care, including surgical resection, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and tumor treating fields, prognosis remains poor due to high recurrence rates, tumor heterogeneity, treatment resistance, and limited drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, glioblastoma often exhibits rapid tumor regrowth during the postsurgical recovery period when few therapeutic options are available. This study investigates MSC11FCD, an investigational allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell product genetically modified to express a suicide gene. The product is administered intratumorally in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients following surgical resection. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose of MSC11FCD. Secondary objectives include the assessment of preliminary efficacy signals. The study aims to explore the potential of this novel therapeutic approach to selectively target residual tumor cells and potentially delay or prevent early recurrence, thereby contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
