PHASE2

A Phase II Trial of Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocyte Adoptive Cell Therapy in Patients With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Resistant Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

Sponsor: East Metropolitan Health Service, Australia

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the activity of Perkileucel, a tumour infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) adoptive cell transfer therapy (ACT), in patients with unresectable stage III or metastatic melanoma who have progressed on previous treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the adjuvant or metastatic setting. Study details: All participants will receive the investigational treatment, Perkileucel. To create this therapy, participants need to undergo surgical excision of a melanoma lesion to harvest the TILs prior to treatment. Once the TILs have been manufactured, participants will be admitted to hospital to receive 5 days of chemotherapy to prepare their body (lymphodepletion) for the TIL-ACT. Treatment with TIL-ACT will then be given on Day 0 as a single intravenous infusion followed by up to 6 intravenous infusions of high-dose interleukin 2. Blood tests and other assessments will be performed regularly to monitor safety and response. The total duration of the study is 8 years. Safety will be assessed throughout the full duration of the study. Patients will be monitored for delayed adverse events. This study will show whether Perkileucel can help control melanoma that has not responded to other treatments and demonstrate feasibility of manufacture and delivery of this treatment in an Australian healthcare setting.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes Adoptive Cell Therapy

TILs are autologous melanoma reactive cells, that are harvested from patient's own melanoma tissue. Patients will receive the TIL-ACT by a single intravenous infusion on Day 0 at of dose of 5 x 10\^9 to 2 x 10\^11 TILs.

DRUG

Cyclophosphamide + Fludarabine Lymphodepletive Conditioning

Five days prior to infusion of TIL-ACT, patients will receive a lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg) once daily concurrently with fludarabine (25 mg/m\^2) IV once daily for 2 days followed by fludarabine (25mg/m\^2) once daily for 3 days.

DRUG

Aldesleukin

Patients will receive up to 6 doses of intravenous aldesleukin (600 000 IU/kg IV) every 8-12 hours post the TIL-ACT infusion.
