Lifileucel for Endometrial Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a treatment called lifileucel, a type of immunotherapy, to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for individuals with endometrial cancer who have previously tried other treatments. Endometrial cancer affects the lining of the uterus, and the trial seeks participants who have undergone at least one, but no more than four, prior therapies, including specific chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. Individuals who have experienced tumor growth despite stable disease or who discontinued their last treatment due to side effects might be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on systemic steroid therapy greater than 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this treatment is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that lifileucel has been tested in patients with advanced cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In these studies, lifileucel helped shrink tumors in 25.6% of patients and temporarily halted disease progression in 71.8% of patients. These results are promising.
Regarding safety, side effects were reported but were similar to those expected from treatments that do not completely destroy bone marrow, which is part of the immune system. Lifileucel is still under investigation for endometrial cancer, so its safety for this type of cancer remains under evaluation.
Overall, previous studies suggest that lifileucel can be tolerated by some patients, but side effects may occur, as with most cancer treatments. Prospective trial participants should carefully consider these potential risks and benefits.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Lifileucel is unique because it uses a groundbreaking approach called tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, which harnesses the power of a patient's own immune cells to fight endometrial cancer. Unlike traditional treatments like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, which can have widespread effects on the body, Lifileucel specifically targets cancer cells by enhancing the body's natural immune response. Researchers are excited about Lifileucel because it offers a personalized treatment option with the potential for fewer side effects and improved outcomes for patients with endometrial cancer.
What evidence suggests that lifileucel might be an effective treatment for endometrial cancer?
Research has shown that lifileucel, a therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), holds potential for treating various cancers. Although not yet approved for endometrial cancer, it has produced positive results in other cancers, such as melanoma. TIL therapy uses a patient's own immune cells to combat cancer. Early studies suggest this method might also be effective for endometrial cancer. Therefore, this trial examines whether lifileucel can benefit people with this type of cancer.12678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced endometrial cancer who've had prior treatments, including platinum-based chemo and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. They should be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), have a life expectancy over 6 months, at least one resectable lesion for TIL generation, and adequate organ function. Women of childbearing age must use effective birth control.Inclusion Criteria
