Subsections: Alternative Approaches Or Treatments What Other Choices Do I Have If I Do Not Take Part In This Study?

Instead of being in this study, you have these options for treatment:  
Getting treatment or care for your cancer without being in a study Taking part in another study Getting no treatment or getting comfort care which is also called palliative care. This type of care helps reduce pain, tiredness, appetite problems, and other problems caused by cancer. It does not treat the cancer directly. Instead, it tries to improve how you feel. Comfort care tries to keep you as active and comfortable as possible.
Please talk to your doctor about these and other options.

STUDY NUMBER: 17-C-0177 CONTINUATION: page 5 of 11 pages The follow-up visits will take up to 2 days. At each visit, you will have lab tests, imaging studies, and a physical examination. At your first follow up visit (which is approximately 2 weeks after the 4th cycle), you may undergo leukapheresis, and then at subsequent visits you'll have about 9 tubes of blood drawn (4 tablespoons) so that we can see the effect this therapy has had on your immune system and if the cells we gave you are still alive. You will not undergo leukapheresis on any other follow up visit after the 1st follow-up visit. If you are unwilling or unable to travel to the NIH Clinical Center we will contact you by phone or e-mail and we may ask you to send us lab, imaging, and physical exam reports. If your tumor appears to be growing, we will look for other investigational therapies you may be eligible for or refer you back to the care of your local physician.

Section: Participant Responsibilities
Subsections: Birth Control

If you are a woman who is breast feeding or pregnant, you may not take part in the study because we don't know how this medicine would affect your baby or your unborn child. If you are a woman who can become pregnant, or are the partner of a woman who can become pregnant, you will need to practice an effective form of birth control before starting study treatment, during study treatment, and for four months after your blood tests show no evidence of the cells. Men should also refrain from donating sperm during this time period. If you think that you or your partner is pregnant, you should tell your study doctor or nurse at once. Effective forms of birth control include:  
Abstinence intrauterine device (IUD) hormonal [birth control pills, injections, or implants] tubal ligation vasectomy

Subsections: Risks Or Discomforts Of Participation What Side Effects Or Risks Can I Expect From Being In This Study?|Potential Benefits Of Participation Are There Benefits To Taking Part In This Study?

Vaccines are generally well tolerated; however, this is the first treatment using this type of vaccine. It is likely that you will experience some mild side effects listed below. We will watch you carefully for any side effects that might occur and we will ask you to keep track of any sideeffects you might experience at home.

The aim of this study is to see if this new experimental treatment will cause your tumors to shrink. We do not know if you will receive personal, medical benefit from taking part in this study. These potential benefits could include shrinking of your tumor or lessening of your symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer. Because there is not much information about the effect of this treatment on your type of cancer, we do not know if you will benefit from taking part in this study, although the knowledge gained from this study may benefit others in the future who have cancer.

Section: Procedures
Subsections: Cell Harvest And Growth|Leukapheresis|Work-Up|Cell Infusion And Vaccine Administration (Day 0, 14, 28, And 42)|Intravenous (Iv) Vaccine|Subcutaneous (Sq) Injection

You underwent a procedure to take a piece of your tumor either from a biopsy or during surgery, so we can grow TIL from your tumor cells in the laboratory while enrolled on our companion protocol 03-C-0277. Sometimes we are unable to successfully grow the cells needed for this procedure. If your cells do not grow you will not be able to receive the cell infusion. We usually know after about 4 weeks whether the cells will grow well enough to be used as an experimental treatment on this protocol. At the time we determine that your cells are not growing, we will inform you and discuss your options with you. Several medications are used during the preparation of your cell product, so be sure to tell your doctor if you are allergic to any antibiotics.

You also underwent a process called leukapheresis, possibly several times, while enrolled on our companion protocol 03-C-0277. Leukapheresis is a procedure that allows us to remove certain types of blood cells from you and return the rest of your blood. It is a very common procedure that is done routinely here with very few risks. During leukapheresis, blood is removed from you through a needle in your arm, circulated through a machine that divides whole blood into red cells, plasma (the liquid component of blood), and lymphocytes (or white cells), and then the plasma and red cells are returned to you through a second needle in your other arm. The procedure takes between 4-5 hours to complete. Rarely, people may experience lightheadedness or dizziness. We ask that you eat prior to the procedure to prevent this. The white blood cells collected before treatment may be used to help grow the cells and after the treatment, can be tested to see how the therapy has affected your immune system. For this study, certain cells called dendritic cells will be removed from your blood. These cells will be used to make your vaccine. Some of these cells will be grown in the lab and genetically modified to recognize a protein on your tumor cells. Unfortunately, if your cells do not grow, you will not be able to receive the vaccine. If that happens, we will look at alternative

STUDY NUMBER: 17-C-0177 CONTINUATION: page 4 of 11 pages experimental treatments at the NIH Clinical Center or refer you to the care of your referring physician. We usually know after about 4 weeks whether the cells will grow well enough to be used as an experimental treatment on this protocol. At the time we determine that your cells are not growing, we will inform you and discuss your options with you. Several medications are used during the preparation of your cell product, so be sure to tell your doctor if you are allergic to any antibiotics.

Prior to receiving the experimental treatment, you will undergo many tests. You may be admitted to the hospital for these tests. We will evaluate you for eligibility for participation on this trial with a physical examination, CT and/or MRI scans, x-rays, EKG, heart and lung function tests, and blood and urine tests. Patients who have a positive HIV blood test will not be eligible for this protocol because it may put them at higher risk of developing infections. If you are a woman you will undergo a pregnancy test. However, you will be allowed to leave on pass on the days that you are not having tests performed.

You will receive the dendritic cell vaccine every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. The vaccine will be administered as both an intravenous (IV) injection and a subcutaneous (SQ) injection in the NIH Clinical Center. Before each vaccination cycle, the research nurse will review any side effects you might have experienced, and you will have blood drawn and a physical examination. The intravenous injection will be given through an IV over 20-30 minutes and the subcutaneous injections will preferentially be given in your thigh, or possibly in your upper arm as determined by your study physician. We will watch you closely during this entire time for any side effects of this experimental regimen. We will discuss the side effects below and we will include in your care all the medicines and treatments to prevent as many of these side effects as we can and to make you as comfortable as we can. You will be able to go home about 2 hours following administration of the dendritic cell vaccine. In addition to the laboratory tests to monitor your condition, we will remove about 14 teaspoons of blood before each cycle to study the effects of this regimen on your immune system. The maximum amount of blood for research is approximately 1.2 cups in 8 weeks.

Based on our experience giving similar types of cells grown in the laboratory, you may experience the following side effects from the IV DC vaccine:
Fever, chills and shortness of breath, which may last for a few hours (common)

Autoimmune reaction such as loss of skin pigment (known as vitiligo) or inflammation of the eye (uveitis) which may require the use of steroid eye drops. You may also experience other side effects that we don't yet know about.  
As this is a new experimental therapy, side effects that we do not anticipate that may cause your condition to deteriorate may be encountered. Any new information that becomes available during the course of this study will be shared with you.

The SQ DC vaccine has potential side effects, and although the side effects of peptide vaccine injected under the skin are not completely known at this time, testing in our previous studies in humans has shown local swelling, swelling of local lymph nodes, bruising, pain and redness (inflammation) at the injection sites. Other side effects that have been reported include rash, itchy skin, headache, and tiredness.

Section: Purpose of Research
Subsections: Why Is This Study Being Done?

We have developed an experimental technique called exomic sequencing. Exomes are the parts of your DNA that make proteins. Exomic sequencing allows us to read the "letters" in the exome to see where the letters are correct (meaning normal proteins are being made) and where the letters are incorrect. Incorrect letters are called mutations and your tumor contain specific mutations. By identifying specific mutations in your tumor, we can then use this information to make experimental treatments. In this study, we plan to take a piece of your tumor and identify

STUDY NUMBER: 17-C-0177 CONTINUATION: page 2 of 11 pages the tumor-specific mutations. We will then take white blood cells from you and engineer those cells to so that they recognize these tumor specific mutations. We will then make IV and subcutaneous vaccines from these cells. The vaccines, called dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, will be given as shots (or injections) under the skin of your thigh and as an intravenous (IV) injection. You will receive the dendritic vaccines every 2 weeks for 8 weeks. Every dose is called a 'cycle' and four cycles is considered a course of therapy. The purpose of this study is to see if these dendritic vaccine tumor fighting cells are safe and can cause metastatic melanoma (skin cancer) or metastatic epithelial tumors to shrink. Epithelial cancer is cancer of cells that line or are found in parts of your body such as your intestines, lungs, reproductive organs, brain, and urinary tract. This is the first protocol giving dendritic vaccine cells.

if you experience side effects from the treatment that are considered too severe if new information becomes available that shows that another treatment would be better for you if you do not comply with study requirements if you become pregnant In this case, you will be informed of the reason for that decision.
You can stop participating at any time. However, if you decide to stop participating in the study, we encourage you to talk to the study doctor and your regular doctor first. If you refuse to participate or withdraw from the protocol or at the completion of the protocol, we will attempt to offer you participation in other NIH protocols if these are available, or will refer you to your home physician for further management. If you decide at any time to withdraw your consent to participate in the trial, we will not collect any additional medical information about you. However, according to FDA guidelines, information collected on you up to that point may still be provided to the Sponsor. If you withdraw your consent and leave the trial, any samples of yours that have been obtained for the study and stored at the NCI can be destroyed upon request. However, any samples and data generated from the samples that have already been distributed to other researchers or placed in the research databases cannot be recalled and destroyed.
