   * Hematological function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×109/L, hemoglobin (Hb) ≥90g/L, platelet count (PLT) ≥100×109/L, absolute lymphocytes count (ALC) ≥0.15×109/L. Blood transfusion, granulocyte (macrophage) colony stimulating factor, recombinant human erythropoietin, recombinant human thrombopoietin, platelet receptor agonist, recombinant human interleukin-11, and other supportive treatments are prohibited within 14 days before the test.
   * Liver function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, patients with Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia, presenting as unconjugated bilirubin in the absence of evidence of hemolysis or liver pathology) Except for elevated erythrocytes; alanine aminotransferases (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN.
   * Renal function: serum creatinine (Scr) ≤1.5×ULN.
   * Coagulation function (in the absence of anticoagulant therapy): prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5×ULN.
   * Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and if a positive urine test or a negative result cannot be confirmed by urine test.
10. Women of childbearing potential (which refer to women who have not been surgically sterilized and pre-menopausal women) should use highly effective and reliable method of contraception (refer to Section 5.3 for contraception method) from the start of the study until 6 months after the last dose of the study drug; sexually active male subjects, if no vas deferens for ligation, consent must be given to the use of highly effective and reliable method of contraception from the start of the study until 6 months after the last dose of the study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Pregnant or breastfeeding female subjects.

   * Serum HIV antibody positive, treponema pallidum serology positive; OR
   * Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and peripheral blood HBV DNA test value exceeds the normal range; OR
   * Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and peripheral blood HCV RNA positive.
3. Medical history and concomitant diseases:

   * Subjects who have received carmustine extended-release implantation surgery within 6 months;
   * Subjects with known or suspected active autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.;
   * Subjects who are receiving systemic immunosuppressive agents or subjects who need to use immunosuppressive agents for a long-time during treatment, except for intermittent topical, inhaled, or intranasal glucocorticoid therapy;
   * Subjects with uncontrolled mental disorders, or who, in the Investigator's opinion, have a medical history or a history of mental states that may increase the risks associated with study participation or study drug administration, or that may interfere with the results;
   * The toxicity and side effects caused by previous treatment have not recovered to ≤ grade 1 (per CTCAE 5.0); except for alopecia and other tolerable events judged by the Investigator;
   * Subjects who have participated in other interventional clinical studies within the past 1 month;
   * Subjects who have previously received CAR-T cell therapy or other gene therapy\*;
   * Subjects with any serious or poorly controlled disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may increase the risk associated with study participation, study drug administration, or affect the subject's ability to receive study drug, including but not limited to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, renal insufficiency, pulmonary embolism, coagulopathy or requiring long-term anticoagulant therapy, active infection or uncontrollable infection requiring long-term systemic treatment;
   * Subjects with other malignant tumors in the past 3 years or at present, except for non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ (such as cervix, bladder and breast cancer).

• Safety Run-In · EXPERIMENTAL · Single-dose administration of TX103 via intraventricular(ICV) or intracavitary (ICT) .
• Cohort A Single delivery route(Multi-dose) · EXPERIMENTAL · Administration of TX103 via intraventricular(ICV) on Days 1 and 8 in a 21-day treatment cycle.
• Cohort B Dual delivery route(Multi-dose) · EXPERIMENTAL · Administration of TX103 on Day 1 via intracavitary (ICT) and on Day 8 via intraventricular(ICV) in a 21-day treatment cycle.

This is a phase I, open-Label, single/multiple dose, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of anti-B7-H3 CAR-T cell injection (TX103) in subjects with recurrent or progressive Grade 4 Glioma.The study also plan to explore the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of the CAR-T cell therapy.
