TIL Therapy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

NCT ID: NCT02926053

Last Updated: 2024-11-22

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 5 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-12-31
• Study Completion Date: 2021-10-31

Brief Summary

Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has achieved impressive clinical results with durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. The TILs are isolated from patients own tumor tissue followed by in vitro expansion and activation for around 4-6 weeks. Before TIL infusion the patients receive 1 week of preconditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After TIL infusion Interleukin-2 is administered to support T cell activation and proliferation in vivo.

Recent studies suggest, that TIL therapy works in other cancers than Metastatic Melanoma, including Renal Cell Carcinoma. In this study TIL therapy is administered to patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has achieved impressive clinical results with durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. The TILs are isolated from patients own tumor tissue followed by in vitro expansion and activation for around 4-6 weeks. Before TIL infusion the patients receive 1 week of preconditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After TIL infusion Interleukin-2 is administered to support T cell activation and proliferation in vivo.

Objectives:

To evaluate safety and feasibility when treating patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma with ACT with TILs.

To evaluate treatment related immune responses . To evaluate clinical efficacy.

Design:

Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood samples, pulmonary function test, Cr-EDTA clearance, MUGA scan and ECG.

Patients will undergo surgery to harvest tumor material for TIL production.

Patients is admitted day -8 in order to undergo lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludara starting day -7.

On day 0 patients receive TIL infusion and shortly after starts IL-2 administration with high-dose bolus IL-2 every eight hour for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).

The patients will followed until progression or up to 5 years.

Conditions

• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Patient group

All patients receive the same treatment.

Surgical removal of tumor tissue for T cell production, which takes 4-6 weeks, is performed initially.

All patients are hospitalized during treatment (one week in advance of the T cell product being ready and for approximately 3 weeks in total) and receive treatment only once.

The patients are admitted to hospital day -8 and receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on day -7 to day -1.

The TILs are infused on day 0 and Interleukin-2 therapy is administered on day 0 to day 5. Interleukin-2 is administered as high-dose i.v. bolus every eight hour starting approximately 6 hours after TIL infusion and for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Surgical removal of tumor tissue for T cell production

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

Surgical removal of \> 1 cm3 tumor tissue chosen with regards to high rate of success and to minimize the general risks involved in a surgical procedure.

Cyclophosphamide

Intervention Type: DRUG

Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg is administered i.v. on day -7 and day -6.

Fludarabine

Intervention Type: DRUG

Fludarabine 25 mg/m2 is administered on day -5 to day -1. Maximum dose of 50 mg per administration.

TIL infusion

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

The maximum number of expanded TILs are infused over 30-45 minutes on day 0.

Interleukin-2

Intervention Type: DRUG

Interleukin-2 is administered as high-dose bolus infusions (600.000 IU/kg) over a 15 minute period every 8 hours and continuing for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).
