T Cell Membrane-Anchored Tumor-Targeted IL12 -Modified TIL Cell Therapy (attIL12-TIL) for Advanced/Metastatic Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Patients.

To find a recommended dose of attIL2-TIL cell therapy that can be given to participant with either relapsed or metastatic sarcomas (has come back or spread to other parts of the body, respectively).

To further test the dose found in Part A to see if it can help to control liposarcoma growth.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Metastatic Soft-tissue Sarcoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Drug: T Cell Membrane-Anchored Tumor-Targeted IL12 -Modified TIL Cell Therapy

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives Part A. Determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose of T cell membrane-anchored tumor- targeted IL12 (attIL12)-TIL cell therapy in combination with cyclophosphamide in participants with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas Part B. Characterize the safety and tolerability and assess preliminary efficacy of attIL12 TIL cells in combination with cyclophosphamide by evaluating the 4-month progression free survival rate (PFS 4 months) in participants with recurrent unresectable liposarcoma

Secondary Objectives

1) Evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy achieved following adoptive transfer of T cell membrane- anchored tumor- targeted IL12 (attIL12)-TIL cell therapy in combination with cyclophosphamide in participants with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas

Exploratory Objectives

1. Characterize the immune response following adoptive transfer of attIL12 TIL cell therapy in paired in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and peripheral blood samples
2. Assess collagen and FAP changes in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response
3. Determine changes in cell surface vimentin (CSV)-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood before and after adoptive transfer of T cell membrane-anchored tumor- targeted IL12 (attIL12)-TIL cell therapy and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: Child; Adult; Older Adult
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 12 years old
2. Histologically-confirmed locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma scheduled to undergo resection or biopsy as part of standard of care
3. Liposarcoma expansion cohort: histologically confirmed unresectable recurrent/metastatic liposarcoma scheduled to undergo resection or biopsy as part of standard of care
4. Participants undergoing resection should have other measurable disease or be high risk for recurrence within 12 month per investigator assessment and has prior approval by PI.
5. Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 present prior to infusion of attIL12-TIL. If the only measurable disease is the same as the lesion biopsied for the study, it needs to be at least 2 cm in largest diameter.
6. Participants must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy for the treatment of sarcoma, unless no standard therapy exists for a specific sarcoma subtype.
7. At least 3 weeks must have elapsed since the last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to tumor tissue collection. For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to tumor tissue collection (whichever is shorter). Standard of care anti- cancer therapy will be permitted following tumor tissue collection but prior to initiation of cyclophosphamide such that at least 3 weeks must have elapsed since last cytotoxic chemotherapy or immunotherapy prior to starting treatment with cyclophosphamide. For targeted therapies, at least 4 half-lives or 3 weeks must have elapsed prior to initiation of treatment with cyclophosphamide (whichever is shorter). Investigational anti-cancer therapy will not be permitted.
8. At least 2 weeks must have elapsed for palliative radiation to any tumor site other than the tumor site identified for tissue collection
9. Participants must have organ and marrow function as defined below
10. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1 K/uL, Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL, Platelets > 100 K/mm3
11. Serum creatinine </= 2 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min
12. Aspartic transaminase (AST) . 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Alanine transaminase (ALT) </= 1.5 x ULN, Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN

13. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use method(s) of contraception: at least one highly effective or two effective accepted methods of contraception to avoid conception throughout the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. Suggested precautions should be used to minimize the risk or pregnancy for at least 1 month before start of therapy, and while women are on study for up to 3 months after T cell infusion.

    WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal

14. Men must be willing and able to use an acceptable method of birth control such as latex condom during the dosing period and for at least 3 months after completion of the study agent administration (T cell infusion) if their sexual partners are WOCBP.
15. Signed Informed Consent and if applicable, pediatric assent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known sensitivity to cyclophosphamide and/or study agents
2. Active or prior documented autoimmune disease (including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Wegener syndrome) within the past 2 years. Participants with childhood atopy or asthma, vitiligo, alopecia, Hashimoto syndrome, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded
3. Untreated central nervous system metastatic disease, leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression. Participants previously treated central nervous system metastases that are radiographically and neurologically stable for at least 6 weeks and do not require corticosteroids (of any dose) for symptomatic management for at least 14 days prior to first dose of attIL12-TIL cells are permitted to enroll.

Any prior radiation to the tumor site that is being collected for attIL12 TIL production. Palliative radiation to any tumor site within the past 2 weeks.

Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (eg, insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.

Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by any of the investigational products may be included (eg, hearing loss) after consultation with the PI.
6. History of primary immunodeficiency, solid organ transplantation, or previous clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis.
7. Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of investigational products.

Participants with cognitive impairment, including adults with cognitive impairment such as trisomy 21 or similar conditions are not specifically excluded from participation, such that appropriate written informed consent is obtained from the parent or legal guardian and they are able to complete with the study protocol requirements and treatment.

Experimental: Part A,; Participants enrolled in Part A, the dose of attIL2-TIL cell therapy a participant receive will depend on when the participant joins this study. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level of attIL2-TIL cell therapy. Each new group will receive a higher dose of attIL2-TIL cell therapy than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of attIL2-TIL cell therapy is found.	Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Given by IV; Drug: T Cell Membrane-Anchored Tumor-Targeted IL12 -Modified TIL Cell Therapy; Given by IV; Other Names: AttIL2-TIL
Experimental: Part B; Participants enrolled in Part B, will receive attIL2-TIL cell therapy at the recommended dose that was found in Part A.	Drug: Cyclophosphamide; Given by IV; Drug: T Cell Membrane-Anchored Tumor-Targeted IL12 -Modified TIL Cell Therapy; Given by IV; Other Names: AttIL2-TIL
