Thanks for posting about this sdino

Can anyone explain how this differs from the trial that Sleen had success on?

Emergency surgery to remove blockage in cecum 12/03/2016
Stage 4 colon cancer. Mets to liver, peritoneum, possibly lungs
K-Ras G12C MSS
01/05/2017 Begin Folfox 6 plus Avastin
CEA pre surgery 114, post surgery 70, 02/2017- 35 03/2017- 23 04/2017- 12

Sleen’s trial used the actual, cloned cells from her tumor to infuse back into her body to go after the tumors. In this new trial, the cells from a tumor are removed and tested for reactivity. The genetic code of cells that are reactive to the mutations in the tumor are “transcribed” into a virus. The virus becomes a messenger of the gene that recognizes the mutation. They call the virus a transcription vector because it carries the genetic code of the T-cell receptor (TCR) from the Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TCR) to other, younger lymphocytes that they get from the patient’s blood through apheresis. So, once transcribed, these young lymphocytes have learned to look for the cells that have the mutation that caused the patient’s tumors. The doctors think that they can double the efficacy of the process because these “young” lymphocytes can live longer and are more active. But it is at a cost of time. The process takes longer because of the added step of reprogramming the young lymphocytes, so the patients need to be able to survive on other treatments until the new, personalized treatment can be prepared. I think it adds a couple of months to the process that already takes three months; so a patient could expect five months total between tumor harvest surgery and treatment with the new cells.

Thanks DH2, Great explanation. and yes, it does take longer to develop these Young TILs, so NCI reviews your disease progress very closely to ensure they do not put you at risk.
