Description

Summary

To determine whether special tumor fighting cells that is taken from participants' tumors and grown in the laboratory and then given back to the participant will fight the participant's cancer when their immune system is suppressed from attacking these special tumor fighting cells. This is called transfer of autologous (they came from you) tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (the cells that have been grown in the laboratory. Participants getting these cell infusions will also be treated with interleukin-2 (IL-2).

Open to people ages 18 years and up

  • Patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma OR metastatic cutaneous or mucosal melanoma measurable per RECIST.
  • Progressive squamous cell cancer of the head and neck or metastatic melanoma since prior systemic treatment and who are:
  • Not candidates for known curative intent therapy.
  • Progressed following at least one prior systemic therapy.
  • Have advanced melanoma unresectable stage III or stage IV

  • Seronegative for Hepatitis B antigen, or Hepatitis C antibody or antigen.
  • More than four weeks has elapsed since the patient received any prior systemic therapy at the time of enrollment.
  • Patient has stable or progressing disease after at least one prior treatment.
  • Six weeks or more have elapsed since the patient received any prior anti-CTLA4 antibody therapy
