Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with melanoma of uveal/ocular origin. 2. Patients who have received an organ allograft or prior cell transfer therapy that included a nonmyeloablative or myeloablative chemotherapy regimen. Note: this criterion is not applicable for patients undergoing retreatment with TIL LN-144/LN-145. 3. Patients with symptomatic and/or untreated brain metastases, • Patients with definitively-treated brain metastases will be considered for enrollment after discussion with Medical Monitor; if, prior to the start of NMA-LD the patient is clinically stable for =2 weeks, there are no new brain lesions via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) post-treatment, and the patient does not require corticosteroid treatment >10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day. 4. Patients who are on a systemic steroid therapy at a dose of >10 mg of prednisone or equivalent per day. • Short course of higher-dose steroid therapy is allowed in cases of exacerbation of a known disease or for treatment of new acute symptoms not related to brain metastases. 5. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 6. Patients who have an active medical illness(es), which in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose increased risks for study participation; such as systemic infections (eg, syphilis or any other infection requiring antibiotics), coagulation disorders, or other active major medical illnesses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, or immune systems. 7. Patients may not have active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [eg, colitis or Crohn’s disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.]). The following are exceptions to this criterion: • Patients with vitiligo or alopecia; • Patients with hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement; • Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy; or • Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone. 8. Patients who have received a live or attenuated vaccination within 28 days prior to the start of NMA-LD. 9. Patients who have any form of primary immunodeficiency (such as severe combined immunodeficiency disease [SCID] and acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS]). 10. Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any component of the study drugs. LN-144/LN-145 should not be administered to patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of TIL product formulation including, but not limited to: • NMA-LD (cyclophosphamide, mesna, and fludarabine); • Proleukin®, aldesleukin, IL-2; • Antibiotics of the aminoglycoside group (ie, streptomycin, gentamicin); • Any component of the TIL product formulation including dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO], human serum albumin [HSA], IL-2, and dextran-40; or • Pembrolizumab. 11.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •To evaluate the efficacy of autologous TIL LN-144/LN-145 as a single-therapy in NSCLC patients or in combination with pembrolizumab in MM and HNSCC patients by determining the ORR, using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Investigator. •To characterize the safety profile of TIL LN-144/LN-145 as a single-therapy in NSCLC patients or in combination with pembrolizumab in MM and HNSCC patients as measured by the incidence of Grade =3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). ;Secondary Objective: • To further evaluate the efficacy of autologous TIL LN-144/LN-145 as a single-therapy in NSCLC patients or in combination with pembrolizumab in MM and HNSCC patients using CR rate, durations of response (DOR), disease control rates (DCR), PFS using RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Investigator, and OS.;Primary end point(s): The ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve either a confirmed PR or CR as best response as assessed by Investigators per RECIST 1.1 among the AT population. Objective response will be evaluated per each disease assessment and the ORR will be expressed as a binomial proportion with the corresponding 2-sided 90% CI. The safety primary endpoint will be measured by any Grade 3 or higher TEAE incidence rate within each cohort expressed as binomial proportions with the corresponding 2-sided 90% CI.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary analysis for each cohort will occur when all treated patients per Cohort have an opportunity to be followed for 12 months, progressed/expired, or terminated early from the post-treatment follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy: The secondary efficacy endpoints are defined as follows: - CR rate is based on responders who achieved confirmed CR as assessed by Investigators. DCR is derived as the sum of the number of patients who achieved confirmed PR/CR or sustained SD (at least 6 weeks) divided by the number of patients in the efficacy analysis set × 100%. The CR rate and DCR will be summarized using a point estimate and its 2-sided 90% CI. - DOR is defined among patients who achieved objective response. It is measured from the first-time response (PR/CR) criteria are met until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, or receipt of subsequent anticancer therapy or the patient dies (whichever is first recorded). Patients not experiencing PD or have not died prior to the time of data cut or the final database lock will have their event times censored on the last date that an adequate assessment of tumor status is made. - PFS is defined as the time (in months) from the time of lymphodepletion to PD, or death due to any cause, whichever event is earlier. Patients not experiencing PD or not having expired at the time of the data cut or the final database lock will have their event times censored on the last date that an adequate assessment of tumor status is made. - OS is defined as the time (in months) from the time of lymphodepletion to death due to any cause. Patients not having expired by the time of data cut or the final database lock will have their event times censored on the last date of their known survival status. - DOR, PFS, and OS will be subjected to right censoring. The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to summarize the time-to-event efficacy endpoints. The baseline data for the tumor assessment is the last scan before the lymphodepletion for all cohorts. The above efficacy parameters will be estimated for applicable cohort for subsets defined by baseline disease characteristics; BRAF status (Cohort
