Engineered TILs/CAR-TILs to Treat Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Purpose

Tumor infiltration lymphocytes (TILs) have been harvested from advanced cancer patients and constructed to knockout PD1 gene and express scFvs against both PD1 and CTALA4 and CARs against various antigens, followed by transfusion into the patients. The safety, tolerance, and preliminary clinical efficacy of the TILs will be evaluated.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 85 Years
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT04842812
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 1
Lead Sponsor The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.	Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University

Additional Details

1. Choose appropriate patients with advanced lung or other cancers, with written consent for this study; 2. Perform biopsy or collect cancerous effusion in thorax or abdomen to obtain TILs by standard protocol; 3. Grow TILs and engineered the tumor-effective TILs with CRISPRA-CAS9 technique to knockdown PD1 and electronic-transfection strategy to express scFvs that target PD1 and CTLA4; amplify the engineered T cells as needed, test the quality and killing activity of the TILs and then transfuse them back the patients via systemic or local injections via standard protocol, and follow up closely to collect related parameters as needed; 4. To enhance the killing capability, tumor-noneffective TILs have also been genetically engineered to express various CARs targeting HER2/Mesothelin/Lewis-Y/PSCA/MUC1/ GPC3/AXL/EGFR/Claudin18.2/B7-H3/ROR1/GD2/AXL/Claudin6-DAP10 with knockdown of PD1/HPK1 as appropriate; 5. Evaluate the clinical results as needed.
