A Study of GC101 TIL in r/r Gastrointestinal Tumors (10hospital)

A Clinical Safety and Efficacy Study of Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Injection (GC101 TIL) in Patients With r/r Gastrointestinal Tumors

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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	The time length between TIL infusion and confirmed subsequent disease progression according to RECIST 1.1	Up to 36 months
