Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1
Participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma
|
Biological: IOV-4001
A tumor sample is resected from each participant and cultured ex-vivo to manufacture IOV-4001. After lymphodepleting chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, participant is infused with IOV-4001, and followed by IL-2. |
Experimental: Cohort 2
Participants with Stage III or IV non-small-cell lung cancer
|
Biological: IOV-4001
A tumor sample is resected from each participant and cultured ex-vivo to manufacture IOV-4001. After lymphodepleting chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, participant is infused with IOV-4001, and followed by IL-2. |
- Phase I: Safety of IOV-4001 [ Time Frame: Up to 1 Year or depending on when the recommended phase 2 dose is determined ]The safety of IOV-4001 will be assessed based on the totality of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and adverse event (AE) data collected during this phase
- Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator
- CR Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the proportion of participants who have a confirmed CR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the duration from the time that criteria are met for CR or PR per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator until disease progression or death due to any cause
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the percentage of participants with a best overall confirmed response of CR or PR at any time plus stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the time from the date of IOV-4001 infusion until disease progression per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]To evaluate the time from the date of IOV-4001 infusion to death due to any cause.
- Safety and Tolerability of IOV-4001 [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]This will be characterized by the severity, seriousness, relationship to study treatment, and characteristics of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), study intervention-related adverse events (AEs), and AEs.
- Feasibility of IOV-4001 [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]This will be assessed by the proportion of participants who had tumor harvested and were treated without manufacturing delay or failure.
