Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL, made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called T-cells) from a patient's tumor, may help to stimulate the immune system in different ways to stop tumor cells from growing.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate efficacy using objective response rate (ORR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 in subjects with ovarian cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and colorectal cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the disease control rate (DCR) within and across cohorts. II. Determine the duration of response (DOR). III. Determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). IV. Further characterize the safety profile of adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) across multiple tumor types. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Establish duration of TIL persistence. II. Compare the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. III. Prospectively evaluate the existing immunotherapy response criteria (immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [irRECIST]) as the best response assessment tool for TIL therapy among a diverse group of solid tumors. IV. Investigate TIL attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression) and correlation with response to therapy. V. Assess tumor marker (CA19-9; CA-125) response in patients who produce this tumor marker. VI. Assess Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). OUTLINE: LYMPHODEPLETION REGIMEN: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days -7 and -6, and fludarabine IV over 15-30 minutes on days -5 to -1 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. T-CELL INFUSION: Patients receive autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL IV over 45 minutes on day 0. Patients then receive IL-2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1-4 for up to 6 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at week 18, at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, and then every 3 months for up to 3 years.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Duration of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) persistence Duration of TIL persistence is determined by T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing of infused T cells serially isolated following MDA-TIL infusion, or alternatively iRepertoire assessment of messenger ribonucleic acid for the TCRs. A paired t-test will be used to examine the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression, when appropriate, will be used to quantify the relationship between phenotypic attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression, etc.) and response to therapy. Up to 5 years
Other Response Will be determined by the immune-related response criteria. A paired t-test will be used to examine the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression, when appropriate, will be used to quantify the relationship between phenotypic attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression, etc.) and response to therapy. Up to 5 years
Other Assessment of immunological phenotype of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL A paired t-test will be used to examine the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression, when appropriate, will be used to quantify the relationship between phenotypic attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression, etc.) and response to therapy. At the time of infusion
Other Tumor assessment Will be determined by immunohistochemistry, TCR sequencing, and transcriptional analysis. A paired t-test will be used to examine the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression, when appropriate, will be used to quantify the relationship between phenotypic attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression, etc.) and response to therapy. Up to 5 years
Other Health-related quality of life Will be assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer core 30 quality of life questionnaire. A paired t-test will be used to examine the molecular and immunological features of tumors before and after TIL therapy. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression, when appropriate, will be used to quantify the relationship between phenotypic attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression, etc.) and response to therapy. Up to 5 years
Primary Objective response rate (ORR) Will be measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria. ORR will use 80% confidence interval by the Wilson score method. Up to 5 years
Secondary Complete response rate (CRR) Will be measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria. CRR will adopt the 2-sided 95% criteria. Up to 5 years
Secondary Disease control rate (DCR) Will be measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria. DCR will adopt the 2-sided 95% criteria. DCR includes complete response, partial response, and stable disease. Up to 5 years
Secondary Duration of response (DOR) Will be measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria. DOR will adopt the 2-sided 95% criteria. Up to 5 years
Secondary Progression-free survival (PFS) Will be measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria. PFS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates. At 6 and 12 months
Secondary Overall survival (OS) OS will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates. At 6 and 12 months
Secondary Incidence of adverse events Will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Safety endpoints will include overall assessment of adverse events (AEs) including grade 3 or greater non-hematological toxicities, serious adverse events and treatment-emergent AEs by grade and relationship to the study treatment.
