About this study
Official title: A Phase I, Single-arm, Open-label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of CHT101 Cell Infusion in Adult Subjects With Recurrent or Progressive Malignant Primary Brain Tumors
Recurrent or progressive primary malignant brain tumors are among the malignancies with a poor prognosis. They refer to primary brain tumors that either recur after standard treatment or show disease progression during the course of standard therapy. This group includes a variety of histological types, most commonly glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing CHT 101 in people with Brain (Nervous System) Cancers, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital.
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 4 inclusion and 5 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 27 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 Jihui Hao, MD. PhD. (8623-23340123, haojihui@tjmuch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Safety and Tolerability (time frame: 2 years). 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 27 Mar 2026.
