Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
With the introduction of checkpoint inhibitors substantial improvements have been made in the treatment of malignant melanoma (MM). Despite this still a a subset of patients, approximately 50 %, experience no response to therapy. One of the strategies to overcome these obstacles have been ACT with tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Most TIL based ACT products are non-specifically expanded providing growth preference to co-infiltrated virus specific T cells, and it is currently challenging to expand T cells in an antigen-specific manner, while at the same time obtaining the ideal functional characteristics for specific and strong tumour-killing capacity with sufficient persistence. In this phase I trial artificial antigen-presenting scaffolds for antigen-driven T cell expansion are used. These scaffolds will generate a MASE-T cell product enriched for selected specificities towards antigens known to be expressed by melanoma cells The aim of the study is to demonstrate that treatment with af MASE-T cell product i safe and feasible. Further the study will elucidate whether treament with the MASE-T cell product leads to objective responses and improves progression free survival (PFS).

- Six patients will be included in Part A. After inclusion 300 mL blood will be drawn from the patients for the production of the MASE-T cell product. Four days prior to MASE-T infusion the patient will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2/day i.v. on day -4, -3, -2 and fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day i.v. on day -4, -3) followed by i.v. infusion of the MASE-T product on day 0.
