Study summary

This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy in patients with malignant refractory/relapsed gastrointestinal tumors. Autologous TILs are expanded from tumor resections or biopsies and infused i.v. into the patient after NMA lymphodepletion treatment with hydroxychloroquine(600mg,single-dose) and cyclophosphamide.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Proportion of patients with response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): ORR (proportion of patients) = # with CR + # with PR / # with CR + # with PR + # with SD + # with PD. ( Except baseline evaluation within 28 days before TIL infusion,PET/CT scan will be performed at 6 weeks after TIL infusion, and than every 6 weeks for 1 year, and then every six months after that for up to 3 years)

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    The time length between TIL infusion and confirmed subsequent disease progression according to RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Quality of Life

    Comparison of patients' quality of life before and after TIL treatment as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-30 (V3.0).

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The time length between the first confirmed objective response per RECIST 1.1 to the treatment and the subsequent disease progression per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    The length of time from the date of the start of TIL treatment that the patients are still alive

    Time frame: Up to 36 months
