TIL Therapy for Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called NEOG-100 for patients with advanced breast cancer and lung cancer. NEOG-100 uses specially modified immune cells, known as tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), that are taken from the patient’s own tumor. The goal of the trial is to see how safe this treatment is and how well it can be tolerated by patients. To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be at least 20 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced breast or lung cancer that cannot be cured with surgery. They should also have at least one tumor that is larger than 1 cm and be willing to provide consent for the procedures involved.

If you or a loved one participates, you can expect to undergo a lymphodepletion treatment to prepare your body before receiving the NEOG-100 infusion. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, which means that enrollment has not yet begun. It's important for potential participants to meet specific health criteria, including certain blood counts and overall health status, to ensure safety during the trial. This study could provide new insights into treatments for advanced cancers that are difficult to manage with standard therapies.
