Eligibility Criteria

Age 18 - 75 · All Participants · 10 Total Inclusion Criteria

Mark “Yes” if the following statements are true for you:
You must be between 18 and 70 years old to participate.
You have enough white blood cells (WBC) in your body (at least 3000 per cubic millimeter).
You must have a minimum of 75,000 platelets per cubic millimeter of blood.
You are able to perform daily activities without being limited by your medical condition and your doctor estimates that you will live for at least 6 more months.
You have been diagnosed with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and your PD-L1 status has been confirmed either negative or positive.
You have at least one tumor that can be surgically removed and used to make the cell therapy. You also have at least one other tumor that can be measured to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. The surgery to remove the tumor will depend on your specific situation and previous radiation treatment is not allowed.
You may have brain metastases, but they must be discussed with and approved by the study coordinator. If you have had stereotactic radiosurgery, your brain metastases must be stable for 1 month after treatment. You cannot be taking steroids for your brain metastases, but you can take oral progestin/estrogen for contraception. Your brain metastases will be assessed using the RANO-BM criteria.
Your absolute neutrophil count (a type of white blood cell) must be above 1000/mm^3 without using a medication called filgrastim.
Your hemoglobin level must be at least 8.0 g/dL. If it is too low, you may receive a blood transfusion to bring it up to the required level.
You are eligible for treatment with a certain type of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy as your first line of treatment. Your tumor must be removed before starting this treatment. If you have already started treatment, the tumor removal procedure should be done as soon as possible but no later than 6 months (Phase 1) or 3 months (Phase 2) from the start of 1st line treatment. After this treatment, if your disease progresses, you may receive the investigational product as a second line of therapy.

Unverified Answer

What criteria must one meet to partake in this clinical examination?

"This clinical trial is recruiting 70 individuals diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma between the ages of 18 and 75. Applicants must meet a number of criteria, such as having confirmed histologic diagnosis for metastatic NSCLC (PD-L1 negative or positive) that can be treated with anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy plus chemotherapy, measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1., ECOG performance status 0 or 1, and more. Patients who have already started first line treatment are also eligible under certain conditions outlined in the requirements list." - Anonymous Online Contributor

Are new participants welcome to join this research endeavor?

"Data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that, as of September 30th 2022, this particular research trial has ceased its recruitment activities; it was initially posted to the website in November 1st 2022. Fortunately, there are 1946 other medical studies actively enrolling patients at the moment." - Anonymous Online Contributor

Unverified Answer

What are the key aims of this investigation?

"Intima Bioscience, Inc., the study sponsor has set a 3.5 year timeline to evaluate Phase 1 Safety and Initial Efficacy as their primary objective. Toxicity incidence, overall survival (Kaplan-Meier estimate), and duration of response are all secondary outcomes that will be measured by researchers during this period." - Anonymous Online Contributor
