Summary

Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has achieved impressive clinical results with durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. Recently, the investigators have completed a pilot study treating 6 patients with metastatic ovarian cancer. The TILs are isolated from patients own tumor tissue followed by in vitro expansion and activation for around 4-6 weeks. Before TIL infusion the patients receive 1 week of preconditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After TIL infusion Interleukin-2 is administered to support T cell activation and proliferation in vivo.

The investigators recent pilot study has shown TIL therapy in patients with metastatic ovarian cancer to be feasible and tolerable. Mainly transient clinical responses where observed and therefore the investigators plan to combine TIL therapy with checkpoint inhibitors to potentially increase the clinical effect.

Conditions

  • Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

Interventions

DRUG

Cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg is administered i.v. on day -7 and day -6.

DRUG

Fludarabine

Fludarabine 25 mg/m2 is administered on day -5 to day -1.

BIOLOGICAL

TIL infusion

The maximum number of expanded TILs are infused over 30-45 minutes on day 0.

DRUG

Interleukin-2

Interleukin-2 is administered as a daily low-dose subcutaneous injection of 2 MIU for a total of 14 days.

DRUG

Ipilimumab

One dose of Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg is administered 14 days prior to surgical removal of tumor tissue for TIL expansion.

DRUG

Nivolumab

Nivolumab 3 mg/kg is administered on day -2 before TIL infusion and every 2 weeks for a total of 4 doses.
