简要总结
The primary objective of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a novel generation of gene-modified tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in a cohort of 10 patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. TILs will undergo transduction with the Interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene, for IL-7 production upon antigen engagement.
Participants will undergo:
- screening
- tumor operation following autologous TIL production (incl. transduction) - takes approximately 4-6 weeks
- admission for lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine phosphate), TIL infusion and high-dose IL-2 infusions for a maximum of 6 doses
- Following treatment, patients will undergo systematic and regularly planned assessments, encompassing clinical evaluation, biochemistry analyses, and PET/CT scans. This thorough follow-up regimen will be continued until any of the following events occur: progressive disease, withdrawal from study, or end of study, which spans a duration of 15 years for trials involving genetically modified organisms.
详细描述
Synopsis:
Over the last decade treatment for malignant melanoma (MM) has seen remarkable progress particularly with checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4). The combination of these inhibitors has elevated the 5-year overall survival (OS) from 5 % to 50 %. However, many patients still lack a durable response.
Results from a Phase III trial, conducted in part at CCIT-DK, have illuminated the promising potential of adoptive cell therapy utilizing tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the treatment of malignant melnaoma. In this trial, 168 patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard anti-CTLA-4 treatment or TILs. The outcomes revealed a notably superior overall response rate (ORR) and a higher number of complete responses (CR) among those treated with TILs.
In this phase I study the investigators intend to treat 10 subjects with locally advanced or metastatic MM. Included subjects undergo surgical removal of tumor tissue for TIL manufacturing. During TIL manufacture, the investigators will genetically modify the TILs, and enable them to produce Interleukin-7 (IL-7). This modification is anticipated to confer additional functionality to the TILs enhancing their proliferation and persistence. The lentiviral vector used to integrate the IL-7 gene to the TILs is manufactured and provided by the British/American biotechnological company, Adaptimmune. The genetically modified TILs are therefore called ADP-TILIL7.
Lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy is administered 7 days prior to ADP-TILIL7 infusion. ADP-TILIL7 infusion is followed by high dose (HD) Interleukin (IL-2) for a maximum of 6 doses or until tolerance.

- •Willingness to participate in the planned controls and capable of handling toxicities.
- •Subject must receive T-cell therapy as the next therapy following tumor resection, unless bridging therapy is administered:
- •Bridging therapy is discouraged. However, if in the opinion of the Investigator, the subject requires immediate therapy after tumor resection, the subject may receive bridging therapy for the period during which the subject is awaiting the manufacture of TIL-infusion product. Bridging therapy may be a continuation of the therapy the subject was receiving prior to tumor resection or may be a new therapy.

- •Age and Reproductive Status:
- •Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test AND must agree to use an effective method of contraception starting at the first dose of chemotherapy for at least 12 months. WOCBP must also agree to refrain from egg donation, storage, or banking during these same time periods. The following are considered safe methods of contraception:
- •Hormonal anticonception (birth control pills, spiral, depot injection with gestagen, subdermal implantation, hormonal vaginal ring and transdermal depot patch)
- •Intrauterine device
- •Surgical sterilization
- •Surgical sterilization of male partner with verification of no sperm after the procedure
- •Menopause (for more than 12 months) o Male subjects must be surgically sterile or agree to use a double-barrier contraception method or abstain from sexual activity with an WOCBP starting at the first dose of chemotherapy and for 6 months thereafter. Male subjects must also agree to refrain from sperm donation, storage, or banking.
