Filter by:The primary objective of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a novel generation of gene-modified tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in a cohort of 10 patients aged 18-75 diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. TILs will undergo transduction with the Interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene, for IL-7 production upon antigen engagement. Participants will undergo: - screening - tumor operation following autologous TIL production (incl. transduction) - takes approximately 4-6 weeks - admission for lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine phosphate), TIL infusion and high-dose IL-2 infusions for a maximum of 6 doses - Following treatment, patients will undergo systematic and regularly planned assessments, encompassing clinical evaluation, biochemistry analyses, and PET/CT scans. This thorough follow-up regimen will be continued until any of the following events occur: progressive disease, withdrawal from study, or end of study, which spans a duration of 15 years for trials involving genetically modified organisms.
Malignant melanoma, is a kind of malignant tumor derived from melanocytes. It is common in skin, mucous membrane, eye choroid and other parts. Melanoma is one of the fastest growing malignant tumors with an annual incidence rate of 3-5%. In 2012, there were 232000 new cases of melanoma and 55000 deaths worldwide. Though, the incidence rate of melanoma is relatively low in China, it has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Melanoma has seriously endangering the health of Chinese people. Patients with stage Ⅳ melanoma have a poor prognosis. According to statistics, the median survival time of stage M1a melanoma is 15 months, while stage M1b is 8 months. The median survival time of bone metastasis melanoma is 6 months, while liver and brain metastasis is 4 months. The overall median survival time of metastatic melanoma is only 7.5 months, and the 2-year survival rate is 15%. For patients with advanced melanoma, dacarbazine is the only chemotherapy drug approved by NMPA, but its overall effective rate is only 13.4%, and the median survival time is 5.6 ~ 11 months. Therapies(new drugs or new combination treatments)with higher remission rate and longer survival are urgently needed for patients with advanced melanoma.
