Single Patient Study to Evaluate Cellular Adoptive Immunotherapy Using Autologous Lymphocytes Following Cyclophosphamide Conditioning for a Single Patient With Metastatic Melanoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Assess the safety and toxicity of cellular adoptive immunotherapy with autologous
tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) following cyclophosphamide conditioning and
post-infusion aldesleukin (IL-2) in patients with metastatic melanoma.

- Assess the duration of in vivo persistence of adoptively transferred lymphocytes.

Secondary

- Evaluate the antitumor effect of adoptively transferred autologous TIL following
cyclophosphamide conditioning and post-infusion IL-2 in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2 and autologous
tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) IV on day 0. Beginning 6 hours after TIL infusion,
patients receive high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2) IV three times daily on days 0-5 (for up to 14
doses) OR low-dose IL-2 subcutaneously twice daily on days 0-14 (for up to 28 doses).
Patients may then receive two additional courses of TILs and low-dose IL-2 (with or without
cyclophosphamide), if indicated.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Inclusion Criteria


Inclusion Criteria

- Histopathological documentation of melanoma concurrent with the diagnosis of
metastatic disease.

- 18 to 75 years of age and able to tolerate high-dose cyclophosphamide

- Bi-dimensionally measurable disease by palpation on clinical exam, or radiographic
imaging (X-ray, CT scan).

- For patients receiving HD-IL-2, normal cardiac stress test within 182 days prior to
enrollment is required of all patients over 50 years old or those with an abnormal
ECG, any history of cardiac disease, a family history of cardiac disease,
hypercholesterolemia or hypertension.

- For leukapheresis, patients must meet the following criteria (any exceptions to this
will require prior approval by the Apheresis director and Principal Investigator):

- Pulse: >45 or < 120

- Weight: >45 kg

- Temperature: <38C (<100.4 F)

- WBC: >3,000

- HCT: >30%

- Platelets: >100,000

- ADDITIONAL INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR T CELL INFUSION

Exclusion Criteria

- Significant cardiovascular abnormalities as defined by any one of the following:

- congestive heart failure,

- clinically significant hypotension,

- symptoms of coronary artery disease,

- presence of cardiac arrhythmias on EKG requiring drug therapy

- ejection fraction < 50 % (echocardiogram or MUGA)

- Patients with active infections or oral temperature > 38.2 C within 72 hours of study
entry or systemic infection requiring chronic maintenance or suppressive therapy.
