Pragmatic approach to Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) using Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) in selected solid tumors

The PragmaTIL trial aims to optimize treatment of cancer patients with Tumour-Infiltrating Lymphocytes Adoptive Cell Therapy (TIL-ACT) and substantially expand and improve the clinical implementation of this treatment modality in academic hospitals. To this end, treatment related toxicities, associated to high-dose interleukin 2 (HD-IL-2) required for expansion and activation of TILs will be reduced while maintaining efficacy. This improved tolerability will achieve a better clinical management of patients and enhance their quality of life, both of which represent major barriers for applying this treatment. The objectives of PragmaTIL are: i) To determine whether TIL-ACT using IL-2 analog ANV419 reduces the frequency of Grade 2-4 study-related non-hematological toxicities
