About this trial

To determine the effect of a special preparation of cells, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) stimulated with CD40L, when given with the drug nivolumab, for patients with EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or HER2-genomically altered lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age greater than or equal to 18 years

Diagnosis of stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an activating genomic alteration within either: EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or ERBB2 receptor tyrosine kinase domains

ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

Expected survival ≥ 4 months

Disqualifiers

No more than six prior lines of systemic therapy for NSCLC

No prior PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor treatment for metastatic NSCLC. Examples of inhibitors include: nivolumab, atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, avelumab, cemplimumab, spartalizumab, or durvalumab.

Participants with rapidly progressing tumors, as judged by the investigator

Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years. NOTE: Subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, limited site eczema, or limited site plaque psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years), or other autoimmune conditions which are not expected to recur, are allowed after approval from the medical monitor or PI

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL)

    Biological/Vaccine

    Tumor harvest for TIL growth in the lab: A sample of the participant's tumor will be collected and sent to the lab for TIL growth. TIL will be prepared and cryopreserved.

  • Nivolumab

    Drug

    Nivolumab (Opdivo®), 360 mg, IV infusion every 3 weeks prior to TIL infusion, and then after TIL infusion 480 mg ever 4 weeks for up to 12 months.

  • Cyclophosphamide

    Drug

    Cyclophosphamide will be administered on days -7 and -6.

  • Fludarabine

    Drug

    Fludarabine will then be infused per institutional standard on Days -7 to -3.

  • Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocyte Therapy

    Other intervention

    On day 0, all patients will receive a dose infusion TIL cells.

  • Interleukin-2 (IL2)

    Drug

    Participants will receive IL-2 for up to 6 doses, based on participants tolerance and investigator judgement. This will be given after the infusion of the T-cells.
