Prospective Tissue Collection Research Protocol

Suspended
Conditions
Solid Tumor
Interventions
Other: Tumour tissue collection
Registration Number
NCT03517917
Lead Sponsor
Achilles Therapeutics UK Limited
Brief Summary

This is a multi-solid tumour research study which collects tumour samples from patients alongside a matched whole blood, and/or leukapheresis product for the development of manufacturing processes for potential immunotherapies.

Detailed Description

During standard of care surgery tumour samples which are surplus to the requirements of the patients diagnostic/treatment pathway will be procured along with a matched whole blood and/or leukapheresis sample. In some instances patients may consent to provide a non-standard of care, non-invasive research biopsy.

Within 28-42 days following procurement of samples patients will be required to participate in a safety follow up call for assessment of any procedure related adverse events.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Clinical status precludes surgical removal of, or collection of multiple biopsies from, accessible tumour tissue.
  2. Inadequate peripheral venous access precluding collection of blood.
  3. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  4. Known/laboratory confirmed diagnosis of an active infectious disease to include Hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV1/2), Human t-lymphotropic virus (HTLV I/II) and syphilis.
  5. Patients who are currently participating in a clinical trial involving an unlicensed medical product.
  6. Patients who have received any cytotoxic therapy (including investigational products) within three weeks prior to tissue procurement.
  7. Patients receiving immunosuppressive treatments or who require regular treatment with steroids at a dose higher than prednisolone 10 mg/day (or equivalent).
  8. Any medical reason why, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient should not participate in this study.
  9. For selected solid tumours and leukapheresis procedure additional exclusion criteria apply.
