Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter in vitro is the percentage enhancement of the anti-melanoma activity of autologous T-cells armed with scFv:TRAIL. Enhanced anti-tumour activity of T-cells will be assessed in vitro by evaluating their capacity to induce apoptosis and loss of cell viability in autologous melanoma cells. The main study parameter in vivo is the % increase in treatment efficacy determined in a mouse model xenografted with primary patient-derived melanoma cells and reconstituted with autologous patient-derived immune cells. Treatment efficacy will be assessed based on tumour outgrowth. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Additional in vitro parameters; T-cell proliferation (e.g. by CFSE fluorescent cell labelling), T-cell co-stimulation (e.g. by measurement of cytokine production), T-cell phenotype (e.g. by evaluation of TIM-3/PD-1 as markers for exhausted T-cells). Additional in vivo parameters: the number of tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes, the phenotype of infiltrated lymphocytes (incl. exhausted T-cell phenotype). | — |
