NCT02360579 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Study of Lifileucel (LN-144), Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, in the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes metastatic disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

Evaluate the efficacy of LN-144 in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma using the objective response rate (ORR), as assessed by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 for Cohorts 1 \& 3 and as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) per RECIST Version 1.1 for Cohorts 2 \& 4

The Full Analysis Set is defined as patients who received the lifileucel infusion that met product manufacturing specifications. Cohort 3 patients had progressed following initial treatment in Cohorts 1, 2, 4 and then were retreated with a second TIL regimen.

→

secondary · POSTED

Evaluate the efficacy endpoints of duration of response (DOR) by the IRC for Cohorts 2 \& 4 and by the investigator for Cohort 1 per RECIST v1.1

The Full Analysis Set is defined as patients who received the lifileucel infusion that met product manufacturing specifications. Due to the small number of patients this outcome measure was not analyzed for Cohort 3 per the statistical analysis plan.

→

secondary · POSTED

Evaluate the efficacy endpoints of disease control rate (DCR) by the IRC for Cohorts 2 \& 4 and by the investigator for Cohort 1 per RECIST v1.1

The Full Analysis Set is defined as patients who received the lifileucel infusion that met product manufacturing specifications. Due to the small number of patients this outcome measure was not analyzed for Cohort 3 per the statistical analysis plan.

secondary · POSTED

Evaluate the efficacy endpoints of Progression-Free Survival by the IRC for Cohorts 2 \& 4 and by the investigator for Cohort 1 per RECIST v1.1

The Full Analysis Set is defined as patients who received the lifileucel infusion that met product manufacturing specifications. Due to the small number of patients this outcome measure was not analyzed for Cohort 3 per the statistical analysis plan.

Incidence, seriousness, relationship to study treatment, and characteristics of treatment-emergent adverse events

The Safety Analysis Set is defined as patients who received the LN-144 infusion. Cohort 3 patients had progressed following initial treatment in Cohorts 1, 2, 4 and then were retreated with a second TIL regimen.
