E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Must be ≥18 years of age at the time of consent. Enrollment of patients > 70 years of age may be allowed after consultation with the Medical Monitor. 2. Patients (or legally authorized representative) must have the ability to understand the requirements of the study, have provided written informed consent as evidenced by signature on an ICF approved by an Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee, and agree to abide by the study restrictions and return to the site for the required assessments, including the OS Follow-up Period 3. Must be able and willing to comply to the study visit schedule and protocol requirements. 4. Must have recurrent, metastatic, or persistent SCC, ASC, or AC of the cervix that is not amenable to curative treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy and for which no other therapies are expected to have significant benefit, in the opinion of the Investigator. 5. At least one resectable lesion (or aggregate of leasions resected) of a minimum 1.5 cm in diameter post-resection to generate TIL; surgical removal with minimal morbidity (defined as any procedure for which expected hospitalization is ≤ 3 days). 6. At least one measurable target lesion, as defined by RECIST v1.1: lesions in previously irradiated areas (or other local therapy) should not be selected as target lesions, unless treatment was ≥ 3 months prior to enrollment, and there has been demonstrated disease progression in that particular lesion. If a lesion is partially resected to generate TIL, and remains visible on the Baseline scan after surgery, then the partially resected lesion can be used for RECIST v1.1 response assessment, but only as a non-target lesion. 7. Cohort 1 and 2: Progression during or following at least one, but no more than three, prior systemic chemotherapeutic treatments for recurrent, metastatic or persistent cervical carcinoma. A line of systemic therapy is defined as any chemotherapy or multiple-agent chemotherapy regimen that was administered for recurrent, or metastatic or persistent SCC, ASC, or AC of the cervix. A bevacizumab and chemotherapy combination is encouraged as a prior line of treatment. Neither chemoradiation, nor chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant settings are considered as a prior line of systemic therapy. Cohort 2: Must also have previously received treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor (ie, PD-1, PD-L1]). Cohort 3 (United States only): Must have not received any therapies other than prior chemoradiation or surgery for loco-regional disease 8. Any prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including chemotherapy, biologic/targeted agents, and immunologic agents must be discontinued at least 28 days prior to tumor resection. Radiation therapy may have been received up to 28 days prior to tumor resection for lesions not expected to be used for TIL generation or target lesions. Radiation therapy may have been received up to 28 days prior to tumor resection for lesions not expected to be used for TIL generation or target lesions. 9. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 10. Must meet the following laboratory criteria: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mm3; Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 8 g/dL or ≥ 5.6 mmol/L; Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 Serum Alanine Transaminase (ALT)/ Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) and aspartate Transaminase (AST)/ Serum Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) < 3.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). Patients with liver metastasis must have Liver Function Tests (LFTs) < 5.0 times the ULN Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome must have a total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL. Serum creatinine must be ≤ 1.5 mg/dL Measured Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40mL/min 11. Patients must be seronegative for the HIV. Patients with positive serology for HBsAg, anti-HBc or HCV Ab indicating acute or chronic infection may be enrolled if the viral load by PCR is undetectable with/without active treatment. 12. Patients of childbearing potential must be willing to take appropriate precaution to avoid pregnancy for the duration of the study and practice an approved method of birth control during treatment and for 12 months after receiving the last protocol-related therapy.Approved methods are outlined in the protocol. 13. Prior to study Enrollment (tumor resection), patient must have documentation of radiological disease progression after the most recent therapy 14. Patients have provided written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information |

Patients who are on chronic systemic steroid therapy for any reason. 3. Patients who currently have prior therapy-related toxicities Grade > 1 according to NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0; except for peripheral neuropathy, alopecia or vitiligo prior to enrollment. If toxicities have resolved to Grade ≤ 1, a minimum of 4 weeks must elapse prior to enrollment (tumor resection). Patients may not have any pre-planned procedures within 2 weeks prior to the start of NMA-LD preparative regimen. Cohort 2: Patients with documented Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea or colitis as a result of previous treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor(s) must have been asymptomatic for at least 6 months or had a normal colonoscopy post-checkpoint inhibitor treatment, by visual assessment, prior to tumor resection. Cohort 2: Patients with immunotherapy-related endocrinopathies stable for at least 6 weeks (eg, hypothyroidism, stable on hormonal substitution) and controlled with hormonal replacement, are allowed. 4. No longer applicable 5. Patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to any component or excipient of LN-145 or other study drugs: NMA-LD preparative regimen (cyclophosphamide, mesna and fludarabine); antibiotics (ABX) of the aminoglycoside group (i.e. streptomycin, gentamicin); except those who are skin-test negative for gentamycin hypersensitivity; any component of the LN-145 infusion product formulation including DMSO, HSA, IL-2, and dextran-40 6.
