Treatment will be up to 32 weeks in duration.

The number of cells administered will be based on gene editing efficiency. CB-NK-TGF-£\]R2-/NR3C1-cells will be administered via intraventricular injection via an Ommaya reservoir on day 0 and every 4 weeks y for up to 8 doses total in Group 1.

Surgical patients in Group 2 will undergo intraventricular insertion of an Ommaya (day -14 to -

Every 4 week intraventricular injections of CB-NK-TGF-£\]R2-/NR3C1- cells will be administered for a total of 8 intraventricular treatments.

In the setting of any surgical complications following Ommaya placement, CB-NK-TGF-£\]R2-/NR3C1- cells may be delayed and administered once the patient is deemed stable by the neurosurgeon following Ommaya placement.

Treatment will continue until tumor progression or intolerable toxicity, or a maximum of 8 intraventricular treatments with CB-NK-TGF-£\]R2-/NR3C1- cells whichever occurs first.

主要终点：Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Group 1) · Will determine maximum tolerated dose and safety of escalating doses of cord blood (CB)-(NK) cells patients with recurrent glioblastoma. A DLT is defined as any grade \>= 3 adverse event assessed as related to CB-NK cells by the investigator (that is, grade \>= 3 adverse drug reaction; grading according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03. · Up to 28 days
次要终点：Overall survival (OS)；Objective response rate (ORR)；Duration of response (DOR)；Time to progression (TTP)；Progression-free survival (PFS)

• Group 1 (CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1- ) · EXPERIMENTAL · Participants will receive CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1- intratumorally over 10 minutes followed by 1 ml of Normal Saline injected over additional 10 min via Ommaya catheter every four weeks for up to 8 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
• Group 2 (CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1-, resection) · EXPERIMENTAL · Ommaya catheter will be inserted prior to the 1st injection of NK cells (at the time of screening biopsy). Two weeks prior to Surgical resection participants will receive the 1st dose of CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1- intratumorally over 10 minutes followed by 1 ml of Normal Saline injected over an additional 10 min via Ommaya catheter. Ommaya catheter will be taken out at the time of standard of care surgical resection of the tumor on day 15 and then another one will be inserted at the end of surgery for future IT injections. Beginning 2 weeks after surgery, participants will receive CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/ NR3C1- intratumorally over 10 minutes followed by 1 ml of Normal Saline injected over additional 10 min via Ommaya catheter every 4 weeks for up to 7 doses (total of 8 doses) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of engineered natural killer (NK) cells containing deleted TGF-betaR2 and NR3C1 (cord blood \[CB\]-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1-) in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). CB-NK-TGF-betaR2-/NR3C1- cells are genetically changed immune cells that may help to control the disease.
