Frequently asked questions about Lifileucel Manufacturing Clinical v Research

What is Lifileucel used for in unresectable or metastatic melanoma?

Lifileucel is an investigational cell therapy being studied for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma. It is currently in early Phase 1 clinical development, with an active trial evaluating its use in this patient population. The drug has not yet been approved by the FDA and remains under investigation.

What does Lifileucel target?

Lifileucel is a cell therapy, classified under the '-cel' target class, meaning it is a cellular treatment rather than a traditional molecularly targeted drug. It is being studied for its potential to treat unresectable or metastatic melanoma by using a patient's own cells to fight the cancer.

Who makes Lifileucel?

Lifileucel is being developed by Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol IOVA. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this investigational cell therapy for advanced melanoma.

What phase is Lifileucel in?

Lifileucel is in Phase 1 clinical development, specifically an early Phase 1 trial. It is an investigational drug and has not received FDA approval. The FDA has granted it priority review, regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT), and fast track designations, reflecting its potential significance in treating advanced melanoma.

What clinical trials is Lifileucel in?

Lifileucel is being studied in a single early Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07700121, titled 'PICSTAT Pilot Study for CD8 PET/CT-Guided Lifileucel Treatment in Advanced Melanoma.' This trial is not yet recruiting and aims to enroll 10 participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma in the United States.

Is Lifileucel the same as any other drug?

Lifileucel is the drug name provided for this investigational cell therapy. No alternative names have been listed for this asset in the available information. It is being developed specifically by Iovance Biotherapeutics for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
