a phase ⅰb study on autologous gc101 til injection for the treatment of advanced melanoma (mizar-002)

Conditions: Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes; Safety; Melanoma; Efficacy; Adverse Drug Event

Summary: 20 participants are expected to be enrolled for the phase ib clinical trial，this trail is expected to be finished in 20 months.

this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (til) therapy in patients with advanced melanoma. autologous tils are expanded from tumor resections or biopsies and infused i.v. into the patient after nma lymphodepletion treatment with hydroxychloroquine and cyclophosphamide.

adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease recurrence; 3. has received live attenuated vaccination after signing informed consent or is scheduled to receive it during the study; 4. has not recovered from a prior procedure or treatment-related adverse reaction to ≤ grade 1 nci ctcae 5.0 (except for toxicities such as alopecia, etc., which in the judgment of the investigator pose no safety risk); 5. known history of allergy to streptomycin, ciprofloxacin, or micafungin or allergy to any component of the infused product formulation; 6. uncontrolled co-morbidities including, but not limited to, uncontrolled arterial hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmhg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmhg) even with standardized treatment or any unstable cardiovascular disease including transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris within 6 months prior to enrollment; new york heart association ( nyha class iii or iv congestive heart failure with an ejection fraction \<50%; or severe cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities, such as ventricular arrhythmias, degree ii-iii atrioventricular block, etc., requiring clinical intervention; ecg results showing clinically significant abnormalities or a qtcf ≥450ms (if the first test is abnormal, it may be retested at least 5 minutes apart twice and the combined result/mean value to determine eligibility) ; 7. patients with esophageal or gastric varices that require immediate intervention (e.g., taping or sclerotherapy) or are considered to be at high risk for bleeding based on the opinion of the investigator or consultation with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, have evidence of portal hypertension (including splenomegaly detected on imaging), or have a prior history of variceal bleeding must have undergone endoscopic evaluation within 3 months prior to enrollment; 8. uncontrolled metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus known to be uncontrolled, or other non-malignant organ or systemic diseases or secondary reactions to cancer, and which can lead to higher medical risk and/or uncertainty in survival evaluation; 9. hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome or child-pugh class b or more severe cirrhosis, liver failure; 10. comorbidity with other serious organic or psychiatric disease; 11. have an active systemic infection requiring treatment with positive blood cultures or imaging evidence of infection, including but not limited to active tuberculosis;
