T Cell Membrane-Anchored Tumor-Targeted IL12 -Modified TIL Cell Therapy (AttIL12-TIL) for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of attIL12-TIL (T cell membrane-anchored and tumor-targeted IL-12) cell therapy in treating patients with soft tissue or bone sarcoma that that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). AttIL12-TIL cells are a type of immunotherapy that is thought to kill tumor cells and promote the body’s adaptive immune response against cancer. AttIL12-TIL cells are made from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs – cells removed from the tumor) that are then modified in with membrane-anchored and tumor targeted IL12 (attIL12) to target the tumor cells. Giving attIL12-TIL cell therapy may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcoma.

Suggested precautions should be used to minimize the risk or pregnancy for at least 1 month before start of therapy, and while women are on study for up to 3 months after T cell infusion. WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal
- Men must be willing and able to use an acceptable method of birth control such as latex condom during the dosing period and for at least 3 months after completion of the study agent administration (T cell infusion) if their sexual partners are WOCBP
- Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
- Known sensitivity to cyclophosphamide and/or study agents
- Active or prior documented autoimmune disease (including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Wegener syndrome) within the past 2 years. Subjects with childhood atopy or asthma, vitiligo, alopecia, Hashimoto syndrome, Grave’s disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded
- Untreated central nervous system metastatic disease, leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression. Subjects previously treated central nervous system metastases that are radiographically and neurologically stable for at least 6 weeks and do not require corticosteroids (of any dose) for symptomatic management for at least 14 days prior to first dose of attIL12-TIL cells are permitted to enroll
- Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment at the time of tumor tissue collection or attIL12 TIL cell infusion. Any prior radiation to the tumor site that is being collected for attIL12 TIL production. Palliative radiation to any tumor site within the past 2 weeks. Standard of care anti-cancer therapy will be permitted following tumor tissue collection but prior to initiation of cyclophosphamide as bridging therapy. Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable
- Unresolved toxicities from prior anticancer therapy, defined as having not resolved to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5 grade 0 or 1 with the exception of alopecia and laboratory values listed per the inclusion criteria. Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by any of the investigational products may be included (e.g., hearing loss) after consultation with the PI
- History of primary immunodeficiency, solid organ transplantation, or previous clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis
- Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of investigational products
- Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) within 4 weeks prior to first dose of treatment. Biopsy as per study protocol is allowed
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, unhealed wound, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring adverse events (AEs) from the study agents, or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent. Subjects with cognitive impairment, including adults with cognitive impairment such as trisomy 21 or similar conditions are not specifically excluded from participation, such that appropriate written informed consent is obtained from the parent or legal guardian and they are able to complete with the study protocol requirements and treatment
- Active concurrent second malignancy
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Any positive test result for hepatitis B or C virus indicating acute or chronic infection
- Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose of T-cell membrane-anchored tumor-targeted IL-12-modified tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (T cell membrane–anchored tumor- targeted IL12 [attIL12]-TIL) cell therapy in combination with cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas. (Part A)
II. Characterize the safety and tolerability and assess preliminary efficacy of attIL12 TIL cells in combination with cyclophosphamide by evaluating the 4-month progression free survival rate (PFS 4 months) in patients with recurrent unresectable liposarcoma. (Part B)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy achieved following adoptive transfer of T cell membrane–anchored tumor- targeted IL12 (attIL12)-TIL cell therapy in combination with cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue or bone sarcomas.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Characterize the immune response following adoptive transfer of attIL12 TIL cell therapy in paired in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and peripheral blood samples.
II. Assess collagen and fibroblast activation protein (FAP) changes in pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor specimens and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response.
III. Determine changes in cell surface vimentin (CSV)-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood before and after adoptive transfer of T cell membrane–anchored tumor- targeted IL12 (attIL12)-TIL cell therapy and correlate with clinical benefit/anti-tumor response.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of attIL12-TIL.
Patients undergo standard of care (SOC) surgery or biopsy to obtain tumor tissue or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for T cell product manufacturing 60-120 days prior to attIL12-TIL treatment. Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day -3. Patients receive attIL12-TIL IV over 20 minutes on day 0 or on days 0 and 14 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) during screening, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients may optionally undergo tumor biopsy 8 weeks post-infusion.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 1 year.
