Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has achieved impressive clinical results with durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. The TILs are isolated from patients own tumor tissue followed by in vitro expansion and activation for around 4-6 weeks. Before TIL infusion the patients receive 1 week of preconditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After TIL infusion Interleukin-2 is administered to support T cell activation and proliferation in vivo. Recent studies suggest, that TIL therapy works in other cancers than Metastatic Melanoma, including Renal Cell Carcinoma. In this study TIL therapy is administered to patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

- description
- All patients receive the same treatment. Surgical removal of tumor tissue for T cell production, which takes 4-6 weeks, is performed initially. All patients are hospitalized during treatment (one week in advance of the T cell product being ready and for approximately 3 weeks in total) and receive treatment only once. The patients are admitted to hospital day -8 and receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on day -7 to day -1. The TILs are infused on day 0 and Interleukin-2 therapy is administered on day 0 to day 5. Interleukin-2 is administered as high-dose i.v. bolus every eight hour starting approximately 6 hours after TIL infusion and for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).

Inclusion Criteria: * Histological proven mRCC with the possibility of surgical removal of tumor tissue of \> 1 cm3. Histology must include a clear cell component with or without a sarcomatoid dedifferentiation. * Metastatic disease irrespective of number of previous treatment lines. Treatment naïve pt's can be included. * ECOG performance status of ≤1. * IMDC prognostic group 'Favorable' or 'Intermediary'. * Life expectancy of \> 6 months. * At least one measurable parameter after surgery in accordance with RECIST 1.1 -criteria's. * No significant toxicities or side effects (CTC ≤ 1) from previous treatments. * Normal ejection fraction (EF) measured by a multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan. * Crom EDTA clearance \>40 ml/min. * Adequate renal, hepatic and hematological function. * LDH ≤ 5 times upper normal limit as a measure of tumor burden. * Women in the fertile age must use effective contraception. Likewise, men included in the study, as well as their partners, must use effective contraception. This applies from inclusion and until 6 months after treatment.
