Measure
Arm A: TIL + IFNalpha
The patients are admitted to hospital day -8 and receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg on day -7 and -6 and fludarabine 25 mg/m2 on day -5 to day -1. TIL infusion: The maximum number of expanded TILs are infused over 30-45 min on day 0 Interleukin-2: Interleukin-2 are administered as a continuous i.v. infusion in a decrescendo regimen (18 MIU/m2 IL-2 over 6 hours, 18 MIU/m2 IL-2 over 12 hours, 18 MIU IL-2 over 24 hours followed by 4.5 MIU/m2 IL-2 over another 24 hours for three days) Peginterferon alfa-2b: Peginterferon alpha-2b, 3 microgram/kg are administered as subcutaneous injection on day -2, day 7 and day 14.

6 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 36 months

Population: 12 patients were treated with TIL. 1 patient was not evaluable.

Clinical responses will be evaluated by RECIST 1.1 (Response Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria version 1.1) and assessed by CT scan. Complete response (CR), disapperance of all lesions; Partial response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Objective response (OR) = CR + PR
