Ki vehet részt

• Recurrent or refractory HER2-positive glioblastoma or its variant gliosarcoma in which relapse surgery (partial or total) or a biopsy (biopsy only for the "CAR2BRAIN-CheckR" cohort) is being planned. Those patients with planned biopsy may be included into the "CAR2BRAIN-CheckR" cohort, if all of the following conditions apply:; Biopsy is necessary (as determined by the treating physician) to rule out the differential diagnosis of pseudoprogression prior to relapse surgery; Patients must be candidates for relapse surgery, which must be postponable for four weeks
• Prior therapy must include the standard of care for glioblastoma (radiotherapy and alkylating chemotherapy, or at least a part thereof if the therapy was terminated prematurely due to therapy failure or poor tolerance). For patients with non-methylated MGMT-Promotor, prior alkylating chemotherapy is dispensable
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
• Bilirubin ≤ 3x normal, AST ≤ 5x normal, ALT ≤ 5x normal, serum creatinine ≤ 2x upper limit of normal for age, leukocyte count ≥ 3/nl, thrombocyte count ≥ 100/nl and Hb ≥ 8.0 g/dl
• Blood oxygenation of ≥ 90% as measured by pulse oximetry on room air
• Women must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72h prior to the start of the first NK-92/5.28.z cell injection
• Sexually active patients must be willing to utilize effective birth control methods throughout the study and for 24 weeks after the last NK-92/5.28.z cell injection. This includes two different forms of effective contraception (e.g. hormonal contraceptive and condom, IUD/IUS and condom) or sterilization
• Patients should have been off other antineoplastic therapy for two weeks prior to entry in this study. Temozolomide will be allowed up to 48h preinjection. At the time of inclusion, dexamethasone up to a total dose of 4 mg per day will be allowed if medically indicated
• Informed consent explained to and signed by patient; patient given copy of informed consent
• Karnofsky performance score of ≥ 70%

• Anti-angiogenic therapy e.g. with bevacizumab in the last four weeks prior to study entry
• Previous anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 directed checkpoint inhibitor therapy (only "CAR2BRAIN-Check" cohort)
• Psoriatic arthritis (however, patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only are permitted provided that they meet all of the following conditions:; Rash must cover less than 10% of body surface area; Disease is well controlled at baseline and only requiring low potency topical steroids; No acute exacerbations of underlying condition within the previous 12 months (not requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, high potency or oral steroids))
• Patients with a prior solid organ transplantation or allogenic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation

However, patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for this study
• Patients with Type I diabetes mellitus not on a stable dose of insulin regimen
• Severe intercurrent infection
• Known HIV, HBV (defined by detection of HBsAg) or HCV positivity (defined by detection of HCV-IgG)
• Chronic heart failure NYHA ≥III
• Severe psychiatric disorder which might interfere with the study treatment or examination
• Coagulation disorder (INR>1.4 or PTT>50sec) or anticoagulation in therapeutic dosage
• Patients with clinical or laboratory signs for immunodeficiency or under immunosuppressive medication other than corticosteroids
