ArmTypeDescription
PD-1, CD137 and Adoptive Cell TherapyEXPERIMENTALCombination Therapy and Immunotherapy as described in intervention descriptions. 1. Nivolumab Treatment: The first 6 participants will not have pre-treatment with nivolumab and instead will be scheduled for the removal of their tumor sample for tumor Infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) growth in the lab. The second 6 participants will receive treatment with nivolumab prior to removal of tumor sample for TIL growth; about 2 weeks after their tumor sample has been taken, these participants may receive additional infusions of nivolumab. 2. Surgery to remove tumor for growth of TIL followed by: TIL growth process; lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine; TIL infusion; Interleukin-2 treatment.
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
NivolumabDRUGParticipants entering the study after the first 6 participants only: Treatment with nivolumab prior to removal of tumor sample for TIL growth. About 2 weeks after their tumor sample has been taken, these participants may receive additional infusions of nivolumab.
Surgery to Remove Tumor for Growth of TILPROCEDUREAll participants: Tumor sample taken for growth of TILs. Growing the TILs takes about 4-8 weeks.
CD137DRUGAll participants: Anti-CD137 agonistic antibody as an agent to augment T cell proliferation in vitro. The growth of the TIL will be accelerated by the use of CD137 activating antibody in the laboratory.
CyclophosphamideDRUGAll participants: Lymphodepleting chemotherapy intravenously, beginning 3 to 6 weeks after tumor collection for TIL growth.
FludarabineDRUGAll participants: Lymphodepleting chemotherapy intravenously, beginning after first 2 days of cyclophosphamide.
TIL InfusionBIOLOGICALAfter completing one week of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, all participants will be admitted back into the hospital for IV infusion of the TIL cells.
Interleukin-2DRUGAfter TIL infusion, in-patient high dose IL-2 treatment.
