Purpose

This is a phase one trial to determine if genetically engineered lymphocytes can be safely delivered to patients with metastatic melanoma.

Detailed Description

      The goal of this study is to establish the recommended phase two dose of autologous T cell
      receptor transduced T cells when administered with low dose IL-2 to stage IV melanoma
      patients following a non-myeloablative and lymphodepleting chemotherapy preparative regimen.
      A secondary objective is to evaluate biologic and immunologic parameters associated with the
      adoptively transferred T cell receptor transduced T cells, including auditory and visual
      changes. The investigators believe the infusion of T cell receptor gene modified autologous T
      cells can mediate objective clinical responses in stage IV melanoma patients.

Dose 1ExperimentalSubjects in cohort 1 will receive 2.5 x 106 TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells per kg body weight
  • Dose 1
Dose 2Experimentalcohort 2 will receive 7.5 x 106 TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells per kg body weight.
  • Dose 2
Dose 3ExperimentalSubjects in cohort 3 will receive 2.5 x 107 TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells per kg body weight.
  • Dose 3
Dose 4ExperimentalSubjects will then receive a single infusion of autologous bulk TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells supported with low dose IL-2. Autologous bulk TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells means the infusion will consist of a polyclonal mixture of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing the TIL 1383I TCR. Subjects in cohort 4 will receive 7.5 x 107 TIL 1383I TCR transduced T cells per kg body weight.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients must have a diagnosis of metastatic melanoma which is measurable either
             clinically or radiologically.

          -  Patients must be 18 years of age or older.

          -  Patients must consent to be in the study and must have signed and dated an approved
             consent form, which conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.

          -  Patients must have a performance status of 0 or 1 ECOG PS scale (see Appendix B).

          -  The ability to provide written informed consent prior to study specific screening
             procedures, with the understanding that the patient has the right to withdraw from the
             study at any time.

          -  Patients' melanoma must be positive for both tyrosinase and HLA-A2 per Loyola
             University Medical Center pathologic review from FNA/core/excisional biopsy of lesion.

          -  Cardiac ejection fraction >50% as determined by screening echocardiogram.

          -  Patients that have undergone treatment with anti-CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte
             Antigen 4) antibody must have at least 3 months from last dose of CTLA-4 antibody
             before they can be enrolled into this study.

          -  The patients BRAF mutation status at position 600 must be known prior to enrollment.
             Patients with V600E mutations are eligible if they have failed Vemurafenib therapy or
             have been offered Vemurafenib therapy and refused.
