Official Title: | An Expanded Access Program of Lifileucel, Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL; LN-144), for Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma |

- Biological: Lifileucel
A portion of the patient's tumor is resected and serves as the starting material for manufacturing lifileucel. After preparative NMA-LD, patients are infused with their autologous TIL (lifileucel), followed by a short course of high-dose IL-2.Other Name: LN-144
