Clinical Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of MDA-TIL (Autologous Expanded Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes) Across Multiple Tumor Types

This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL works
in treating patients with ovarian cancer, osteosarcoma, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Autologous tumor infiltrating
lymphocytes MDA-TIL, made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called
T-cells) from a patient's tumor, may help to stimulate the immune system in different ways to
stop tumor cells from growing.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate efficacy using objective response rate (ORR) using the Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 in subjects with ovarian cancer, pancreatic
ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and osteosarcoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the disease control rate (DCR) within and across cohorts. II. Determine the
duration of response (DOR). III. Determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall
survival (OS). IV. Further characterize the safety profile of adoptive cell therapy (ACT)
with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) across multiple tumor types.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Establish duration of TIL persistence. II. Compare the molecular and immunological
features of tumors before and after TIL therapy.

III. Prospectively evaluate the existing immunotherapy response criteria (irRECIST) as the
best response assessment tool for TIL therapy among a diverse group of solid tumors.

IV. Investigate TIL attributes (CD8 %, CD27 and CD28 expression) and correlation with
response to therapy.

V. Assess tumor marker (CA19-9; CA-125) response in patients who produce this tumor marker.

VI. Assess Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL).

OUTLINE:

LYMPHODEPLETION REGIMEN: Patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on
days -7 and -6, and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -1 in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

T-CELL INFUSION: Patients receive autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL IV over
45 minutes on day 0. Patients then receive IL-2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1-4 for up to 6
doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at week 18, at 6, 9, 12, 18,
and 24 months, and then every 3 months for up to 3 years.

starting lymphodepleting chemotherapy)

- Prothrombin time (PT) & activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN

(which should be managed according to institutional norms prior to and after
excisional biopsy) (within 7 days of enrollment and with 24 hours of starting
lymphodepleting chemotherapy)

- Negative serum pregnancy test (female subjects of childbearing potential) (within 7
days of enrollment and with 24 hours of starting lymphodepleting chemotherapy)

- Subjects must not have a confirmed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

- Subjects must have a 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) showing no active ischemia and
Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTcF) less than 480 ms

- Subjects 40 years of age and older must also have a negative stress cardiac test (i.e.
EKG stress test, stress thallium, dobutamine echocardiogram or other stress test that
will rule out cardiac ischemia). Stress test may be required of subjects less than 40
years of age if warranted by family history or risk factors by the treating
investigator
