Summary

This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing the patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. This study aims to apply a similar approach to Brain cancer. TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into the patients following a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen. Pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the PD-1 receptor on T cells, will be administered to enhance the immune response. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of this combined therapy. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), and quality of life (QoL). This trial aims to offer a novel, personalized treatment option for patients with limited therapeutic alternatives.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing a combination of two treatments for people with advanced brain cancer (including gliomas and related tumors): tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs, immune cells taken from your own tumor) combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 16 and 90 years old - You have been diagnosed with brain glioma (primary, relapsed, or spread) - Standard treatments have not worked or are not available for you - You have a tumor that can be biopsied or removed to collect immune cells - Your blood counts and organ function are within acceptable ranges - Your life expectancy is more than 3 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have HIV, active hepatitis B or C, or syphilis - You have severe heart or lung problems - You require high-dose steroids (e.g., prednisone more than 15 mg/day) - You have had an organ transplant or stem cell transplant - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You had severe side effects from prior immunotherapy Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
