PICSTAT (PET Imaging of CD8 for Selection of Tumors for Autologous TIL): A Pilot Study Assessing the Use of CD8 PET/CT (Zr-89 Crefmirlimab Berdoxam) to Enhance Lifileucel (AMTAGVI) Efficacy in Patients With Treatment Refractory Stage IV Melanoma
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Summary
This prospective, single-center pilot study is being performed to find out whether Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam "CD8 PET/CT" scans can improve the effectiveness of the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy called lifileucel ("Study Treatment") in treating metastatic melanoma. Participants must first provide consent to the companion protocol (UPCC 19426, PICSTAT CD8 PET) before being eligible to consent to this protocol.

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have a confirmed diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic melanoma (Stage IV) * Participants must have progressed following ≥ 1 prior systemic therapy for Stage IV or unresectable Stage III disease including a PD- 1 blocking antibody; and if BRAF V600 mutation-positive, a BRAF inhibitor or BRAF inhibitor in combination with MEK inhibitor. * At least two resectable previously non-irradiated lesions (or aggregate of lesions resected) of a minimum 1.5 cm in diameter post- resection to generate TIL; surgical removal with minimal morbidity (defined as any procedure for wh…
Interventions
- ProcedureResection of PET (high) and PET (low) Tumors
Harvest of two tumors to obtain tissue for manufacturing the autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cellular product.
