Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a phase I clinical trial to investigate the safety and tolerability of NEOG-100 in patients with advanced breast cancer and lung cancer. NEOG-100, an autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), is infused intravenously into the patient after non-myeloablative (NMA) lymphodepletion treatment.

Description:

Study treatment will begin with intravenous NMA lymphodepleiting regimen composed by cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, followed by infusion of NEOG-100. Cyclophosphamide will administered for two days and fludarabine for five days. Patients in Cohort 1 will receive NEOG-100 and patients in Cohort 2 will receive NEOG-100 plus low-dose (2 MIU) IL-2.
