A study of the assessment criteria covers the synthesis and characterization of agent and test their biological effectiveness as boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) agents in cancer treatment. The cellular uptake of this agent into the glioblastoma cells was assessed by boron analysis (ICP-MS) and by fluorescence imaging (confocal microscopy). The agent enters the glioblastoma cells exhibiting a similar profile, i.e., preferential accumulation in the cytoskeleton and membranes and a low cytotoxic activity (IC<sub>50</sub> values higher than 200 μM). The cytotoxic activity and cellular morphological alterations after neutron irradiation in the Research Reactor (&gt;10<sup>7</sup> neutrons cm<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>) were assessed by the MTT assay and by electron microscopy (TEM). Post neutron irradiation revealed that BNCT has a higher cytotoxic effect on the glioblastoma cells. Results provide a strong rationale for considering one of these compounds as a lead candidate for a new BNCT agent.

Abstract A 6 y/o girl with recurrent multifocal glioblastoma received 3 times of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–engineered T cells targeting the tumor-associated antigen HER2. Multiple infusions of CAR T cells were administered over 30 days through intraventricular delivery routes. It was not associated with any toxic effects of grade 3 or higher. After BNCT and CAR T-cell treatment, regression of all existing intracranial lesions were observed, along with corresponding increases in levels of cytokines and immune cells in the cerebrospinal fluid, but new lesions recurred soon after the treatment. This clinical response continued for 14 months after the initiation of first recurrence.
