AbstractWe investigate a mathematical model using a system of coupled ordinary differential equations, which describes the interplay of malignant glioma cells, macrophages, glioma specific CD8+T cells and the immunotherapeutic drug Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy (ACI). To better understand under what circumstances the glioma cells can be eliminated, we employ the theory of optimal control. We investigate the dynamics of the system by observing biologically feasible equilibrium points and their stability analysis before administration of the external therapy ACI. We solve an optimal control problem with an objective functional which minimizes the glioma cell burden as well as the side effects of the treatment. We characterize our optimal control in terms of the solutions to the optimality system, in which the state system coupled with the adjoint system. Our model simulation demonstrates that the strength of treatment $u_{1}(t)$ plays an important role to eliminate the glioma cells. Finally, we derive an optimal treatment strategy and then solve it numerically.
