Brief Summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of genetically modified T-cell immunotherapy in treating patients with malignant glioma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to therapy (refractory). A T cell is a type of immune cell that can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body. T cells are taken from the patient's blood and a modified gene is placed into them in the laboratory and this may help them recognize and kill glioma cells. Genetically modified T-cells may also help the body build an immune response against the tumor cells.

  3. Changes in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 6 weeks ]
    Statistical and graphical methods will be used to describe the CAR T cell levels (cyst fluid, peripheral blood) over the study period.

  4. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From time of surgery assessed up to 15 years ]

  11. Changes in quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 15 years ]
    Estimate the mean and standard error for change from baseline during treatment and post treatment in the quality of life functioning scale, symptom scale and item scores from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and the domain scale and items scores from the QLQ-brain neoplasm20.

  12. T cell detection in tumor [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    In study participants that undergo a second resection or following autopsy, T cells numbers, location, and antigen levels will be described.

  13. IL13Ra2 antigen expression levels [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
    In study participants that undergo a second resection or following autopsy, T cells numbers, location, and antigen levels will be described.
