A Phase I Study on Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Injection (GC101 TIL) for the Treatment of Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called GC101, which involves using a patient's own immune cells (specifically tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) to fight advanced solid tumors like melanoma, cervical cancer, and lung cancer. The trial aims to see how safe this treatment is and how well it works. Researchers will enroll between 20 to 60 participants, and the study will take about three years to complete. It is divided into two parts: one part will gradually test different doses of the treatment, and the other will include more patients to gather additional information.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 18 and 75 years old and have a specific type of advanced cancer that has been clearly diagnosed. They should have at least one measurable tumor and be in relatively good health, meaning they can perform daily activities without too much difficulty. Participants will receive the treatment and will be monitored closely for both the treatment's effects and any side effects. It's important for potential participants to discuss any previous treatments they've had and their overall health with their doctor to see if they qualify for this study.
