E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To study the efficacy of this treatment strategy in inducing tumor-specific T cell immunity as measured by the presence of Mart-1 specific T cells in peripheral blood samples on several time points following adoptive transfer. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To study the safety of the adoptive transfer of autologous T cells modified with a Mart-1 specific TCR in advanced stage melanoma patients with disease progression upon standard chemotherapy. To study the objective response rate in this patient population. To study the disease-free survival and overall survival.

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age. Patients must have measurable metastatic melanoma Patients must be HLA-A2 positive. Patients must have a clinical performance status of ECOG 0 or 1. Patients of both genders must be willing to practice a highly effective method of birth control during treatment and for four months after receiving the preparative regimen.
Patients must be able to understand and sign the Informed Consent document.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of this trial is objective reponse rate according to recist 1.1 |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
After 25 patients have received the treatment response rate will be evaluated. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Safety (CTC 4.0) of the TCR treatment. 1-year PFS and median overall survival. Efficacy of induction of tumor specific T cell responses (as measured by the persistence of Mart1 specific T cells in peripheral blood samples at several time points following adoptive transfer and in tumor biopsies when possible).
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Safety will be evaluated after 5 patients have been treated, and also at first and the second stage of the study. PFS and efficacy will be evaluated 1 years after the last patient has been treated. |
