Study on TIL Engineered With Membrane-Binding Cytokine for the Treatment of Advanced Gynecologic Tumors

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy on TIL engineered with membrane-binding cytokine (GC203 TIL) for the treatment of patients with advanced gynecologic tumors. Autologous TILs from tumor resections or biopsies are first gene modified (engineered with membrane-binding cytokine) and than expanded before i.v. infusion into the patient after NMA lymphodepletion treatment with cyclophosphamide.

-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adverse Events (AE) | To characterize the safety profile of TIL engineered with membrane-binding cytokine (GC203 TIL) in patients with advanced gynecologic tumors as assessed by incidence of adverse events related to GC203 TIL infusion. | Up to 6 months | 
| Objective Response Rate (ORR) | Proportion of patients with response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): ORR (proportion of patients) = # with CR + # with PR / # with CR + # with PR + # with SD + # with PD. ( Except baseline evaluation within 28 days before GC203 TIL infusion，PET/CT scan will be performed at 6 weeks after GC203 TIL infusion, and than every 6 weeks for 6 months, and then every 6 months after that for up to 3 years) | Up to 36 months | 
| Disease Control Rate (DCR） | Percentage of patients that meet CR, PR and SD criteria set in this study according to RECIST v1.1： DCR (proportion of patients) = # with CR + # with PR + # with SD / # with CR + # with PR + # with SD + # with PD. | Up to 36 months | 
| Duration of Response (DOR) | The time length between the first confirmed objective response per RECIST 1.1 to the treatment and the subsequent disease progression per RECIST 1.1 | Up to 36 months | 
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | The time length between GC203 TIL infusion and confirmed subsequent disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 | Up to 36 months | 
| Overall Survival (OS) | The length of time from the date of the start of GC203 TIL treatment that the patients are still alive | Up to 36 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in Quality of Life | Comparison of patients' quality of life before and after GC203 TIL treatment as assessed by the EORTC(The European Organization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer) QLQ-30(Quality of Life Questionnare-Core30 ) (V3.0). The outcome will be calculated by software from different dimensions. | Up to 36 months |
