This is a multicentric study in which metastatic melanoma patients that have already been treated with at least 2 therapies, will be treated with their own white blood cells that are genetically transduced.

Conditions

metastasized melanoma gemetastaseerde huidkanker

Interventions

Patients will be hospitalized to first receive chemotherapy during one week, then they will receive their own transduced T cells intraveneously, which will be followed by a low-dose of interleukin-2.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients must be &#8805; 18 years of age; 2. Patients must have inoperable stage IIIc or stage IV cutaneous melanoma (AJCC) progressing after at least two lines of therapy (DTIC, BRAF inhibitor, ipilimumab); 3. Patients must be HLA-A*0201 positive; 4. The primary tumor and/or metastasis have to be positive for MART-1 (>10% of tumor cells); 5. Patients with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1); 6. Patients must have a clinical performance status of ECOG 0 or 1; 7. Patients of both genders must be willing to practice a highly effective method of birth control during treatment and for four months after receiving the preparative regimen; 8. Patients must be able to understand and sign the Informed Consent document; 9. Absolute neutrophil count greater than 1.5 x 109/L without support of filgrastim; 10. Platelet count greater than 100 x 109/L; 11. Hemoglobin greater than 5 mmol/L or 8.0 in g/dl; 12. Chemistry; 13. Serum ALAT/ASAT less than 3 times the upper limit of normal, unless patients have liver metastases (< 5 times ULN); 14. Serum creatinine normal range or clearance at 50 ml/min or higher; 15. Total bilirubin less than or equal to 20 micromol/L, except in patients with Gilbert’s Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 50 micromol/L; 16. Seronegative for HIV antibody; 17. Seronegative for hepatitis B antigen, and hepatitis C antibody; 18. Seronegative for lues.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Life expectancy of less than three months; 2. Patients with metastatic ocular melanoma or mucosal melanoma; 3. Requirement for systemic steroid therapy; 4. Patients who have a history of more than two CNS metastases; 5. Patients who have any CNS lesion that is symptomatic, greater than 1 cm in diameter or show significant surrounding edema on MRI scan will not be eligible until they have been treated and demonstrated no clinical or radiologic CNS progression for at least 2 months; 6. Any immunosuppressive chemotherapy or systemic steroid therapy within the last 3 weeks; 7. Patients who have: history of coronary revascularization, documented LVEF of less than 45%, clinically significant atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias including but not limited to atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, 2° or 3° heart block, documented FEV1 less than or equal to 60% predicted for patients with a history of cigarette smoking (greater than 20 pack/year within the past 2 years) and with symptoms of respiratory distress; 8. All patients’ toxicities due to prior non-systemic treatment must have recovered to a grade 1 or less. Patients may have undergone minor surgical procedures or focal palliative radiotherapy (to non-target lesions) within the past 4 weeks, as long as all toxicities have recovered to grade 1 or less; 9. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, because of the potentially dangerous effects of the preparative chemotherapy on the fetus or infant. A negative pregnancy test before inclusion in the trial is required for all women of child bearing potential; 10. Any active systemic infections, coagulation disorders or other active major medical illnesses, such as active autoimmune disease requiring anti-TNF treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Safety (CTCAE 4.0) of the TCR treatment; 2. Objective response rate according to RECIST 1.1.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. 1-year progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival; 2. Efficacy of induction of tumor specific T cell responses (as measured by the persistence of Melan-A/MART1 specific T cells in peripheral blood samples at several time points following adoptive transfer and in tumor biopsies when possible).
