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 pneumonitis, 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.]).

Patients who have received a live or attenuated vaccination within 28 days prior to the start of treatment. 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.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •To evaluate the efficacy of autologous TIL LN-144/LN-145 in combination with pembrolizumab in MM, HNSCC, or NSCLC patients or TIL LN-145 as a single therapy in relapsed or refractory (r/r) NSCLC patients, who have previously progressed on or after treatment with CPIs, as determined by 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 in combination with pembrolizumab in MM, HNSCC, and NSCLC patients or TIL LN-145 as a single therapy in r/r NSCLC 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 in combination with pembrolizumab in MM, HNSCC, and NSCLC patients or TIL LN-145 as a single therapy in r/r NSCLC patients using complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) using RECIST 1.1, as assessed by Investigator, and overall survival (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 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. 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

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
