Disease: Solid Tumors, (NCT05361174)

Disease info:

A solid tumour is an abnormal mass of tissue that usually does not contain cysts or liquid areas. Solid tumours may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Solid tumour types are named according to the type of cell they originate from. Examples of solid tumours include sarcomas, carcinomas, and lymphomas. Leukaemias (cancers of the blood) generally do not form solid tumours. 

Lung cancer is a type of solid tumour forming cancer that is generally divided into two types: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, based on the size of the affected cells when viewed under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 85 % of lung cancer, while small cell lung cancer accounts for the remaining 15 %.

Lung cancer may not cause signs or symptoms in its early stages. Some people with lung cancer have chest pain, frequent coughing, blood in the mucus, breathing problems, trouble swallowing or speaking, loss of appetite and weight loss, fatigue, or swelling in the face or neck. Additional symptoms can develop if the cancer spreads (metastasises) into other tissues.

Non-small cell lung cancer is divided into three main subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell lung carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma arises from the cells that line the small air sacs located throughout the lungs. Squamous cell carcinoma arises from squamous cells that line the passages leading from the windpipe to the lungs (bronchi). Large cell carcinoma arises from epithelial cells that line the lungs. Large cell carcinoma encompasses non-small cell lung cancers that do not appear to be adenocarcinomas or squamous cell carcinomas. The 5-year survival rate for people with non-small cell lung cancer is usually between 11 and 17 %, but this can be lower or higher depending on the subtype and stage of the cancer.

Description

This study is the first-in-human study of IOV-4001, a genetically modified autologous tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) product. IOV-4001 is expected to exert anti-tumour activity through its capacity to directly target and kill tumour cells in a manner that is similar to non-genome-edited TILs, but with the potential for enhanced anti-tumour activity through disruption of the PDCD1 gene, which encodes programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1).
