Study of GC101 TIL in Brain Glioma (Soochow2)

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Injection (GC101 TIL) in Patients With Brain Glioma

This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy in patients with malignant glioma . Autologous TILs are expanded from tumor resections and infused i.v. into the patient after NMA lymphodepletion treatment with hydroxychloroquine(600mg,single-dose) and cyclophosphamide.
