Summary

Most of HLA-A2 melanomas express Melan-A/MART-1 antigen and are recognized by tumor reactive Melan-A specific T lymphocytes. By using blood samples from HLA-A2 melanoma patients (stage III and IV), our goal is to produce a tumor reactive Melan-A specific T cell clones and to conduct a phase I-II clinical trial, based on the infusion of several millions to several billions of these lymphocytes to the patient, in order to induce passive immunity against this antigen. Production of the clones will be performed in the Unit for Cellular and Gene Therapy from Nantes University Hospital. Therapeutic response, safety treatment but also localization and survival of infused T cell clones will be assessed. This approach is expected to precise the ability of the clones to migrate within the tumor and to transfer specific immunity.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

autologous Melan-A/MART-1 specific CTL clones

By using patients' blood, several million to several billion of Melan-A/MART1 tumor reactive T cell clone(s) will be produced in vitro, then infused to the patient, 3 to 6 months after collecting blood sample. During this production period of the T cell clone, the patient will be treated with deticene at the dose of 250mg/m2/j by IV for 4 days each month. After each T cell clone infusion (J1), the patient will receive IFN-α at the dose of 9 M/U 3 times a week for 4 weeks and Interleukin-2 at the dose of 9 M/U from Day 1 to day 5 and from Day 8 to Day 12.
