Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer will undergo resection of a safely accessible metastatic lesion, from which tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) will be cultured, metabolically reprogrammed for metabolic fit T cells, then selected for CD137+ activated T cells, and then expanded. This expanded TIL product will be infused following nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion chemotherapy. High-dose IL-2 will be given after TIL infusion to support the cell product expansion. Once recovered from TIL infusion, patients will start consolidative systemic therapy with oral cyclophosphamide, bevacizumab, and pembrolizumab.
Inclusion Criteria:
5.1.1 STEP 1: RESECTION OF TUMOR & INITIATION OF TIL EXPANSION Patients must fulfill all of the following criteria to be eligible for the study at the time of tumor resection and initiation of TIL expansion.
Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
Female, aged 18 to 80 years.
Patients must have recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, all subtypes will be eligible.
Measurable disease for target lesion(s) per RECIST prior to resection. If only one measurable lesion prior to surgery, residual disease measurable lesion must be present after resection on baseline imaging.
Clinical performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 to 1 and life expectancy of > 6 months.
Patients must have progressed on at least one prior standard of care treatment regimen for metastatic disease, may include platinum sensitive and resistant patients. Platinum sensitive disease as defined by recurrence of disease more than 6 months following a complete response to initial treatment and platinum recurrent as defined by recurrence less than 6 months after a complete response to initial treatment. If patients are 2nd line platinum sensitive, they must have progressed < 1 year of last platinum therapy. Also, for 2nd line platinum sensitive patients that are candidates for PARP maintenance, they must have had a frontline PARP maintenance or attempt at PARP maintenance with unacceptable toxicity/intolerance. For 3rd line or more platinum sensitive patients, all platinum free intervals (PFI) are acceptable.
a. The allowance of platinum sensitive patients is based on the high response rate and durability (Sensitive: ORR-60% DOR-11.5 mos, vs Resistant: ORR 43.3, DOR 5.5 mos) seen in the study that gave rationale for the consolidative regimen of oral cyclophosphamide, bevacizumab, pembrolizumab (Zsiros et al, 2021). As well, higher responses are observed to targeted therapies in platinum sensitive patients (mirvetuximab Plat Sens: ORR 51% vs Plat resistant: 32%), similar to platinum combination response rates and PFS. By introducing an immunotherapeutic-targeted regimen in platinum sensitive patients, it further extends the platinum free interval (PFI) increasing later platinum response potential, especially those in the 6-12 mos PFI.
A negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) must be documented at screening for women of childbearing potential.
A MUGA/ECHO scan (ejection fraction > 45% is required) ≤ 6 months prior to lymphodepletion. New York Heart Association functional classification Class <1 are required.
Patients who have a history of ischemic heart disease, angina, or clinically significant atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias must undergo a cardiac stress test, patients with abnormal cardiac stress test, may be considered for study if they have adequate ejection fraction (>45%) and cardiology clearance with approval of Primary Investigator.
Screening Pulmonary function tests should be performed for select patients (see below) with postbronchodilator values: Forced expiratory volume in 1s, (FEV1)/forced vital capacity>70%' or FEV1>50% of predicted normal is recommended.
i. For patients with pleural effusions, if parameters are not met, consideration of drainage prior repeat PFT is reasonable, in this scenario, if reaccumulated on baseline CT after tumor procurement, consider drainage again prior to lymphodepletion.
Adequate renal function, including creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL and CrCl >40L/min, ideally >60L/min. If creatinine is 1.6-2 mg/dL, then will need CrCl>60L/min to be considered.
Adequate hepatic function total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL, except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dL, AST and ALT of less than 3 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), patients with liver metastasis may have up to 5xULN.
Adequate hematologic function, hemoglobin (hgb) of 8 gm/dL or more, and platelets of 75,000 per mm3 or more for surgical resection. A packed red blood cell transfusion is acceptable, though must remain stable above 8mg/dL on repeat evaluation remains stable on or after 7 days.
Patients must have a positive screening EBV antibody titer on screening test.
Participants may have had prior bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide, and/or pembrolizumab.
5.1.2 STEP 2: CHEMOTHERAPY/CELL INFUSION INCLUSION CRITERIA
To be eligible for chemotherapy/cell infusion, patients must fulfil the following criteria:
17. Adequate renal function, including creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL and CrCl >40L/min, ideally >60L/min. If creatinine is 1.6-2 mg/dL, then will need CrCl>60L/min to be considered.
a. Fludarabine dose should be reduced (20 mg/m2 in patients with CrCl 40-59 mL/min) 8.Adequate hepatic function total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL, except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dL, AST and ALT of less than 3 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), patients with liver metastasis may have up to 5xULN.
9.Adequate hematologic function, platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000/mm3. Hemoglobin (hgb) of 8 gm/dL or more, a packed red blood cell transfusion is acceptable, though must remain stable above 8mg/dL on repeat evaluation remains stable on or after 7 days.
10.Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within 1.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal.
11.Urinalysis within 14 days demonstrating no evidence of a urinary tract infection.
