STIL101 for Injection for the Treatment of Locally Advanced, Metastatic or Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Renal Cell Cancer, Cervical Cancer and Melanoma

Study Purpose

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of STIL101 for injection and how well it works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), renal cell cancer (RCC), cervical cancer (CC) and melanoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). STIL101 for injection, an autologous (made from the patients own cells) cellular therapy, is made up of specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes or "T cells" collected from a piece of the patients tumor tissue. The T cells collected from the tumor are then grown in a laboratory to create STIL101 for injection. STIL101 for injection is then given to the patient where it may attack the tumor. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, helps prepare the body to receive STIL101 for injection in a way that allows the T cells the best opportunity to attack the tumor. Aldesleukin is a form of interleukin-2, a cytokine made by leukocytes. Aldesleukin increases the activity and growth of white blood cells called T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. Giving STIL101 for injection may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with locally advanced, metastatic or unresectable pancreatic cancer, CRC, RCC, CC and melanoma.
