Experimental Treatment
Group I: PD-1, CD137 and Adoptive Cell TherapyExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Combination Therapy and Immunotherapy as described in intervention descriptions. Nivolumab Treatment: The first 6 participants will not have pre-treatment with nivolumab and instead will be scheduled for the removal of their tumor sample for tumor Infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) growth in the lab. The second 6 participants will receive treatment with nivolumab prior to removal of tumor sample for TIL growth; about 2 weeks after their tumor sample has been taken, these participants may receive additional infusions of nivolumab. Surgery to remove tumor for growth of TIL followed by: TIL growth process; lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine; TIL infusion; Interleukin-2 treatment.

However, there are plenty of other studies available; 825 focusing on skin cancer and 1604 trials involving Nivolumab have open enrollment at the time of writing."

Answered by AI

What other investigations have been done using Nivolumab?

"Currently, there are 1604 clinical trials underway that research Nivolumab of which 243 are in the final Phase 3. While most trials take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a total of 68053 sites around the world are running studies on it."

Answered by AI

What conditions benefit most from the prescription of Nivolumab?

"Nivolumab can be deployed to treat a variety of ailments, including but not limited to: multiple sclerosis, acute and malignant neoplasms, myelocytic disorders, as well as leukemia."

Answered by AI

Is this research initiative still accepting participants?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial is not accepting participants at the moment. According to its posting date of March 8th 2016 and latest update on September 27th 2022, it appears that recruitment has ceased. If you are in search for other studies related to cancer of the skin or Nivolumab there are presently 825 and 1604 trials respectively actively recruiting patients."
