Brief summary

A multicenter trial to investigate TBio-4101, an autologous, neoantigen-selected, tumor-reactive TIL product, in patients with advanced solid malignancies.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 1 study to investigate TBio-4101. TBio-4101 is an autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy that utilizes tumor specific antigens to select, sort, and expand patient-specific tumor-reactive T-cells to be reinfused into the patient. The adoptive cell therapy is further enhanced through the use of non-myeloablative chemotherapy prior to TIL infusion, followed by the TIL plus IL-2 infusion. Low-dose radiation therapy is administered prior to and after TIL plus IL-2 infusion. Pembrolizumab is provided after the resolution of IL-2 toxicities. The trial is open to solid tumors of varying tumor mutational burdens.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALTBio-4101

TBio-4101 is an autologous selected and expanded tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) product generated following ex vivo expansion of tumor reactive TIL population found in tumor harvest. After preparation with non-myeloablative lymphodepletion chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) followed by low dose radiation,TBio-4101, and IL-2.

DRUGPembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab will be administered after TIL infusion and continue every 3-6 weeks for up to 2 years.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Advanced or metastatic breast carcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, uveal melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has failed or is refractory to standard of care therapy * Have at least one target lesion that can be used for response assessments and have at least 1 tumor amenable for tissue harvest for TIL manufacturing. * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Demonstrate adequate organ function * Additional inclusion criteria exist Key

Exclusion criteria

* Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years * Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive * Currently infected with HIV Type 1 and Type 2, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), treponema pallidum (e.g., syphilis), West Nile virus (WNV), Human T-lymphotropic virus types 1 or II (HTLV I/II), or cytomegalovirus (CMV) * Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable * Serious cardiac condition, such as uncontrolled hypertension, concurrent congestive heart failure, prior history of Class III/IV cardiac disease (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\]), history of cardiac ischemia within the past 6 months, or prior history of cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment. Patients who are \> 60 years of age must undergo cardiology clearance exam and cardiac stress test. * Prior cell therapy or organ transplant * History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, IL-2, or pembrolizumab, or any of their constituents * LVEF ≤ 45% * FEV1 ≤ 60% of predicted value and DLCO (corrected) \< 60% of predicted value * Chronic anti-coagulant therapy that cannot either be discontinued or temporarily changed * Additional
