Cyclophosphamide, Autologous Lymphocytes, and Aldesleukin in Treating Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

August 4, 2010 updated by: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

Single Patient Study to Evaluate Cellular Adoptive Immunotherapy Using Autologous Lymphocytes Following Cyclophosphamide Conditioning for a Single Patient With Metastatic Melanoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Biological therapy, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy using autologous lymphocytes, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Aldesleukin may stimulate the lymphocytes to kill tumor cells. Giving cyclophosphamide together with autologous lymphocytes and aldesleukin may be an effective treatment for metastatic melanoma.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving cyclophosphamide together with autologous lymphocytes and aldesleukin and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Assess the safety and toxicity of cellular adoptive immunotherapy with autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) following cyclophosphamide conditioning and post-infusion aldesleukin (IL-2) in patients with metastatic melanoma.
  • Assess the duration of in vivo persistence of adoptively transferred lymphocytes.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the antitumor effect of adoptively transferred autologous TIL following cyclophosphamide conditioning and post-infusion IL-2 in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2 and autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) IV on day 0. Beginning 6 hours after TIL infusion, patients receive high-dose aldesleukin (IL-2) IV three times daily on days 0-5 (for up to 14 doses) OR low-dose IL-2 subcutaneously twice daily on days 0-14 (for up to 28 doses). Patients may then receive two additional courses of TILs and low-dose IL-2 (with or without cyclophosphamide), if indicated.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria

  • Histopathological documentation of melanoma concurrent with the diagnosis of metastatic disease.
  • 18 to 75 years of age and able to tolerate high-dose cyclophosphamide
  • Bi-dimensionally measurable disease by palpation on clinical exam, or radiographic imaging (X-ray, CT scan).
  • For patients receiving HD-IL-2, normal cardiac stress test within 182 days prior to enrollment is required of all patients over 50 years old or those with an abnormal ECG, any history of cardiac disease, a family history of cardiac disease, hypercholesterolemia or hypertension.

  • For leukapheresis, patients must meet the following criteria (any exceptions to this will require prior approval by the Apheresis director and Principal Investigator):

    • Pulse: >45 or < 120

    • Temperature: <38C (<100.4 F)
    • WBC: >3,000
    • HCT: >30%
    • Platelets: >100,000
  • ADDITIONAL INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR T CELL INFUSION

Exclusion Criteria

  • Significant cardiovascular abnormalities as defined by any one of the following:

    • congestive heart failure,
    • clinically significant hypotension,
    • symptoms of coronary artery disease,
    • presence of cardiac arrhythmias on EKG requiring drug therapy
    • ejection fraction < 50 % (echocardiogram or MUGA)
  • Patients with active infections or oral temperature > 38.2 C within 72 hours of study entry or systemic infection requiring chronic maintenance or suppressive therapy.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
