Phase I study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of an immunotherapy based on genetically modified autologous T lymphocytes to specifically recognize the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 in patients with advanced melanoma or sarcoma.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The study CHUV-DO-0026-NY-ESO1-2023 consists of an adoptive transfer of T lymphocytes (infusion of immune cells previously isolated from the patient's blood and genetically modified in the laboratory to specifically recognize the patient's tumor). This treatment is preceded by chemotherapy and low-dose radiotherapy. The substances tested are: - Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine which make up the lymphodepleting chemotherapy. - LauT-1 which consists of a population of genetically modified T lymphocytes in the laboratory to recognize the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 present on the surface of the tumor cells of the participants. A low-dose radiotherapy treatment will also be performed on certain tumor lesions to promote the infiltration of immune cells. This study is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of this combined treatment (= to understand if it is technically feasible) and to ensure that it can be administered safely.

Intervento studiato
This study consists of 3 parts:
The first part of pre-selection, during which the expression of NY-ESO-1 will be evaluated by immunohistochemical testing on a tumor sample from the patient (biopsy already collected for diagnostic reasons).
The second part of pre-selection during which a blood sample will be taken from the study candidates to determine if their blood cells express the human leukocyte antigens HLA-A*0201 and/or HLA-A*0205, which will be essential to make the tested substance, LauT-1, effective.
If these initial tests are positive, and the patients also meet the other eligibility criteria of the study, they may be enrolled in the study.
Initially, a leukapheresis will take place to collect the necessary T cells for the production of LauT-1.
If the production of LauT-1 is successful, patients can begin their treatment which will be administered in a hospital setting:
The first three (3) patients will receive the lymphodepleting chemotherapy (2 doses of cyclophosphamide and 4 doses of fludarabine), low-dose radiotherapy (1 time) and a low dose of LauT-1.
If no serious adverse effects are observed, the next 6 patients will receive the same treatment, but the dose of LauT-1 will be higher.

(BASEC)
Pre-selection -1: - Patients with advanced melanoma or sarcoma, confirmed by histology. Pre-selection-2: - Tumor expresses the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1. Selection: 1. Patients with sarcoma who have received at least one line of standard therapy and who have not tolerated it or for whom the disease has progressed or not responded to this therapy. 2. Patients with melanoma who have received at least one line of standard therapy (without BRAF mutation) or two lines of standard therapy (with BRAF mutation) and who have not tolerated them or for whom the disease has progressed or not responded to these therapies. 3. Patients who are positive for the human leukocyte antigens HLA-A*0201 and/or HLA-A*0205. (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
1. Patients with a second cancer, except - a skin cancer, other than melanoma, that has been treated or successfully resected - a carcinoma in situ treated appropriately - another cancer that can be managed in such a way as not to compromise the patient's prognosis, and after the agreement of the principal investigator 2. Patients with symptomatic and/or untreated brain metastases, such as leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. 3. Patients who have previously received an allogeneic stem cell transplant or an organ transplant.

Criteri di inclusione/esclusione
Inclusion criteria at pre-screening step-1 1) Patients with histologically confirmed
advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma or any type of sarcoma.
Inclusion criteria at pre-screening step-2
1) Immunohistochemically documented NY-ESO-1 expression, defined as = 1+ expression on
either archival or fresh tumor tissue by immunohistochemistry, in =50% of the
sampled tumor tissue.
Inclusion criteria at screening
1. Patients with sarcoma, who have received at least one line of standard therapy (if
available) and failed to respond, progressed or were intolerant to that therapy,
will be eligible. If the participant refuses or is, in the opinion of the
investigator, ineligible for these treatments, the reason must be documented in the
medical record.
2. Patients with metastatic melanoma:
1. Without proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF) mutation who have received at least one
line of standard therapy and failed to respond, progressed or were intolerant
to that therapy, will be eligible. If the participant refuses or is, in the
opinion of the investigator, ineligible for these treatments, the reason must
be documented in the medical record.
2. With BRAF mutation who have received at least two lines of standard therapy and
failed to respond, progressed or were intolerant to that therapy, will be
eligible. If the participant refuses or is, in the opinion of the investigator,
ineligible for these treatments, the reason must be documented in the medical
record.
3. Patient must be HLA-A*0201 and/or HLA-A*0205 positive, as identified by
