A Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Subjects with Advanced Melanoma
Trial Description
DELTA-1 is a phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ITIL-168 in adult
subjects with advanced melanoma who have previously been treated with a PD-1 inhibitor.
ITIL-168 is a cell therapy derived from a patient's own tumor-infiltrating immune cells
(lymphocytes; TILs).
Eligibility Requirements
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed advanced (unresectable or metastatic) cutaneous melanoma.
- Cohort 1: Disease that is relapsed after or refractory to at least 1 prior line of
systemic therapy that must include a PD-1 inhibitor and, if positive for proto-
oncogene BRAF V600 activating mutation, targeted therapy.
- Cohort 2: Disease that is persistent after discontinuing PD-1 due to toxicity.
Patients with a proto-oncogene BRAF V600 activating mutation must have progressed
after targeted therapy.
- Cohort 3: Disease that is stable (SD) after at least 4 doses of a PD-1 inhibitor.
Patients with a proto-oncogene BRAF V600 activating mutation must have progressed
after targeted therapy.
- Medically suitable for surgical resection of tumor tissue
- Following tumor resection for TIL harvest, will have, at minimum, 1 remaining
measurable lesion as identified by CT or MRI per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
- Adequate bone marrow and organ function
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- History of another primary malignancy within the previous 3 years
- Melanoma of uveal, acral, or mucosal origin
- Previously received an allogeneic stem cell transplant or organ allograft
- Previously received TIL or engineered cell therapy ( eg, CAR T-cell)
- Significant cardiac disease
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 12 months of enrollment
- History of significant central nervous system (CNS) disorder
- Symptomatic and/or untreated CNS metastases
- History of significant autoimmune disease within 2 years prior to enrollment
- Known history of severe, immediate hypersensitivity reaction attributed to
cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or IL-2.
