Summary

A clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of genetically-engineered, neoantigen-specific Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) in which the intracellular immune checkpoint CISH has been inhibited using CRISPR gene editing for the treatment of Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Cancer.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Cyclophosphamide

Day -6 and Day -5: Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/dose as a 2 hour intravenous infusion with Mesna 15 mg/kg/dose, 1st dose prior to Cyclophosphamide infusion then at 3,6,9 and 12 hours later.

DRUG

Fludarabine

Day -7 to Day -3 : Fludarabine 25 mg/m\^2/dose as a 1 hour intravenous infusion per institutional guidelines once a day for 5 doses beginning on Day -7. Fludarabine will be started approximately 1 to 2 hours after the cyclophosphamide on Day -6 and Day -5.

BIOLOGICAL

Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL)

Day 0 : Each bag of autologous CISH inactivated TIL for infusion will be administered intravenously (IV) on the Patient Care Unit over 10-20 minutes at assigned dose level.

DRUG

Aldesleukin

Days 1-4 : Aldesleukin at 720,000 U/kg as an intravenous infusion, every 8 -12 hours but, no more than 24 hours apart as tolerated for up to 6 doses.
