Method for expanding and administering tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998568B2) outlines a method for treating cancer by administering expanded tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to a subject. The method involves a multi-step process, including the expansion of TIL populations in closed containers, supplementation with specific factors like IL-2 and antigen presenting cells (APCs), and cryopreservation of the harvested TIL population for later administration to the subject. The therapeutic dosage of TILs administered is crucial for effective treatment, ranging from 1×109 to 5×1010 TILs, depending on the specific requirements of the patient.
Furthermore, the patent details additional steps such as the use of a non-myeloablative lymphodepletion regimen before TIL administration, treatment with high-dose IL-2 post-TIL infusion, and specific ratios for supplementing TILs with PBMCs. The method is applicable to various types of cancer, including melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and head and neck cancer, among others. The timeline for the entire process, from TIL expansion to administration, ranges from about 10 to 22 days, ensuring a timely and efficient treatment protocol. The use of gas-permeable bags for containment during TIL expansion highlights the importance of maintaining a controlled environment throughout the procedure, contributing to the overall success of the treatment method.
