Hello Everyone,
First time on the Mayo chat. My daughter has Glioblastoma. She is heading into her 5th year, which is a milestone with this disease. She was diagnosed at the age of 39. I won't get into all the details, but she is experiencing her third recurrence. Slow progression at this time. MGH (Mass General Hospital) had quite a breakthrough this week with Car-T. For GBM. Anyone have any insight on the trial?

@positibilitarian1, thanks for bringing this early trial results to my attention. Here's more info for anyone else interested:
- Preliminary Clinical Trial Results Show ‘Dramatic and Rapid’ Regression of Glioblastoma after Next Generation CAR-T Therapy https://www.massgeneral.org/news/press-release/clinical-trial-results-show-dramatic-regression-of-glioblastoma-after-next-generation-car-t-therapy

It's early days and shows data for 3 patients only, but hopeful.

Here's further information from Mayo Clinic advances as well:

@positibilitarian1, have you inquired if your daughter may be eligible for a current or future clinical trial?
