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

This study is an open-label, single-arm, prospective clinical trial. 50 subjects with advanced EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC, including those complicated with malignant pleural effusion, will be enrolled and receive TILs infusion combined with third-generation EGFR-TKIs. Adverse reactions, therapeutic efficacy and other relevant indicators will be closely observed and followed up to systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combined regimen.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
According to the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) to evaluate the safety of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) combined with third-Generation EGFR-TKI therapy for TKI-Resistant advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Time Frame: up to three years
Incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) Description: Number and severity of adverse events graded according to CTCAE v5.0.
up to three years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
According to the subgroup analysis of TILs in patients with TKI-Resistant advanced NSCLC to analyze the correlation between TILs and disease prognosis.
Time Frame: Up to three months
TILs subgroup analysis Description: Composition, phenotype, and function of TILs
Up to three months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
According to the objective response rate (ORR) to evaluate the efficacy of TILs combined with third-Generation EGFR-TKI therapy for TKI-Resistant advanced NSCLC
Time Frame: Up to one year
Objective response rate (ORR) Description：The percentage of subjects with a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) determined by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
