Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are: 1) Frequencies and absolute numbers of different lymphocyte populations that together compose the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte pool 2) Expression of costimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules on TIL versus lymphocytes isolated from tumor-free tissue versus circulating lymphocytes 3) Effect of blocking co-inhibitory molecules or stimulating costimulatory molecules expressed by TIL on their function (proliferation and cytokine production) in ex vivo culture experiments | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Depending on the co-inhibitory molecules detected on TIL, immunohistochemistry will be performed on residual formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue that is regularly stored to identify the expression of the ligands of these co-inhibitory molecules (e.g. PDL-1+2, GAL-9) on tumor (infiltrating) cells. If possible, lymph node (when part of excision preparation) will be analyzed. | — |
