Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells to fight their cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with recurrent, metastatic, or persistent cervical cancer not treatable by surgery/radiation. Must have measurable lesions and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1). Previous systemic therapy is required; however, no more than three lines of chemotherapy for Cohorts 1 and 2. Participants must have adequate organ function, no active infections or HIV, and agree to contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial studies LN-145 alone or combined with pembrolizumab in treating cervical carcinoma. It's a prospective study where patients receive TIL infusion after lymphodepletion. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of this adoptive cell therapy for those who've had previous treatments but still show disease progression.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune response due to TIL infusion such as inflammation in various organs, fatigue, blood disorders, infection risk increase from IL-2 treatment post-infusion and possible adverse reactions from pembrolizumab if used.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 5 Retreatment CohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients who have been previously treated with LN-145 may be given a second treatment with TIL.
Group II: Cohort 4 - Non-enrolling CohortExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort includes patient population not meeting inclusion criteria in cohort 1 and 2. Post-NMA lymphodepletion, patients are infused with their autologous TIL (LN-145) followed by IL-2 administration.
Group III: Cohort 3 - Combination Arm (TIL + Pembrolizumab) - US OnlyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be administered with pembrolizumab, followed by NMA lymphodepletion, then infused with their autologous TIL (LN-145) followed by pembrolizumab every 3 or 6 weeks post IL-2 administration up to 24 months.
Group IV: Cohort 2 LN-145 monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients previously treated with an antiprogrammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) or anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) checkpoint inhibitor: Post-NMA lymphodepletion, patients are infused with their autologous TIL (LN-145) followed by IL-2 administration.
Group V: Cohort 1 LN-145 monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Post-NMA lymphodepletion, patients are infused with their autologous TIL (LN-145) followed by IL-2 administration.
