Study Summary

This trial is testing a special cell preparation to treat genomically altered lung cancer with a drug called nivolumab.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with stage IV or recurrent NSCLC who have specific genetic alterations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, HER2) and have progressed after at least one systemic therapy. They must have a tumor that can be biopsied for TIL harvest and adequate organ function. Those with certain heart conditions, uncontrolled illnesses, more than six prior NSCLC therapies, previous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment for metastatic NSCLC or active infections are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effectiveness of CD40L-stimulated TILs combined with nivolumab in patients with genetically altered lung cancer. It aims to see how well these specially prepared immune cells work when given alongside an established immunotherapy drug.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions from the cell infusion such as fever and chills, fatigue from interleukin-2 or fludarabine treatments, possible damage to organs due to nivolumab's effect on the immune system which might cause inflammation in various parts of the body.
