This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of 15.GPC3-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells given in the tumor area (intracavitary administration) in treating patients with glioblastoma (GBM) that is GPC-3 positive and that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) who are undergoing repeat surgical removal (resection). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. The 15.GPC3-CAR T cells in this study recognize GC33, which is the protein found on GPC-3 positive GBM, and are given via intracavitary administration during the repeat resection. They are made more effective through the addition of a gene that includes interleukin-15, which is a protein that helps CAR T cells grow better and stay in the blood longer so that they may kill tumor cells better. Giving 15.GPC3-CAR T cells via intracavitary administration may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with GPC3-positive recurrent GBM who are undergoing repeat resection.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety of escalating doses of intracavitary administration of autologous anti-glypican-3 CAR-IL-15-iC9-expressing T-lymphocytes (15.GPC3-CAR T cells) in patients undergoing repeat resection of GPC3-positive recurrent GBM.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intracavitary 15.GPC3-CAR T cells in treating patients with GPC3-positive recurrent GBM.
II. To assess the anti-tumor effect of intracavitary 15.GPC3-CAR T cells in patients with GPC3-positive recurrent GBM.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the in vivo persistence, phenotype and functional activity of 15.GPC3-CAR T cells following intracavitary administration in patients with GPC3-positive recurrent GBM.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline for production of 15.GPC3-CAR T cells. As soon as four to six weeks later, patients undergo standard of care surgical resection plus Ommaya reservoir placement and receive 15.GPC3-CAR T cells via intracavitary administration during week 0 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample collection and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually for up to 15 years total.
