Study Details

This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Brain cancer. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the PD-1 receptor on T cells, will be administered to enhance the immune response. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of this combined therapy. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), and quality of life (QoL). This trial aims to offer a novel, personalized treatment option for patients with limited therapeutic alternatives.

Arms

  • Experimental: Biological Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) Therapy with Immunotherapy
    Patients receive pembrolizumab IV on day -14, cyclophosphamide IV QD on days -7 to -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes QD on days -5 to -1, and TILs IV infusion on day 0. Patients also receive pembrolizumab IV on day 28 and 70, and undergo surgery on day 80. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive pembrolizumab IV every 6 weeks for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
