Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Tumor Neoantigen-pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cell Injection (YS247, Beijing YSCell Biotech Co., Ltd. [Abbreviated as YS])in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma

A total of 9 to 18 participants are planned to be enrolled in this study. A dose-escalation design will be adopted following the 3+3 escalation principle, and the injection dose of the study drug YS247 is preset at three dose levels (low, medium, high) as specified below, with 3 to 6 participants planned to be enrolled in each dose level group. An adaptive trial design will be implemented, where the number of enrolled participants in each group will be adjusted based on the actual clinical study results
