INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Each patient will receive up to 12 cycles of TGFβi NK cell infusions. Each cycle will be of 4 weeks duration. During the first 3 weeks, TGFβi NK cells will be infused once weekly. The 4th week will be a rest week. TGFβi NK cell infusions should be delivered at least 3 days apart (e.g., Friday of Week 1 and Monday of Week 2). Dose will be escalated in an inter-patient stepwise fashion consisting of 3 dose levels.

Interventions
The universal donor TGFβi NK cells will be cryopreserved until they are delivered bedside for infusion. The trained staff will thaw the product by the bedside. The administration of the cells will be done via an Ommaya intra-cavitary/a programable ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Once the infusion is ready for administration patients will be admitted to the infusion unit for monitoring. NK cells will be administered through the Ommaya/VP shunt in approximately 3 milliliters over approximately 2-5 minutes; followed by 1.5-2 milliliter preservative-free normal saline flush over approximately 1 minute.
