Phase I trial of locoregional administration of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in patients with uveal melanoma and liver metastases (the HAITILS trial)

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Uveal melanoma is a rare melanoma subtype characterized by a liver-dominant pattern of metastasis which is associated with a lack of durable responses to immunotherapies. Adoptive cell transfer of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has been shown to induce responses in a subset of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. The safety and feasibility of locoregional administration of TIL therapy via…
