Antigen-specific CAR T, CTL and DCvac to treat melanoma.
Antigen-specific CAR T, CTL and DCvac to treat melanoma.: Antigen-specific CAR T, CTL and DCvac to treat melanoma.
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of combination immunotherapy based on CAR T cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), and dendritic cell (DC) vaccines modified with GM-CSF and B7-2 (CD86) against melanoma, which targets CAR T specific surface antigens such as GD2, CTL specific antigens such as MAGE-A4, gp100 and a pool of melanoma specific antigens presented by the DCs. Another goal of the study is to learn more about the function and persistence of the CAR T cells and antigen-specific immune effectors in patients.

* Liver function: defined as alanine transaminase (ALT) \<3x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \<3x ULN; serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase \<2x ULN.
* Renal function: Patients must have serum creatinine less than 3 times ULN.
* Marrow function: White blood cell count ≥1000/ul, Absolute neutrophil count ≥500/ul, Absolute lymphocyte count ≥500/ul, Platelet count ≥25,000/ul (not achieved by transfusion).
* Patients with known bone marrow metastatic disease will be eligible for study as long as they meet hematologic function criteria, and the marrow disease not evaluable for hematologic toxicity.
* For all patients enrolled in this study, the patients or their legal guardians must sign an informed consent and assent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Existing severe illness (e.g. significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic diseases, etc.) or major organ dysfunction, with the exception of grade 3 hematologic toxicity.
* Untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastasis: Patients with previous CNS tumor involvement that has been treated and is stable for at least 4 weeks following completion of therapy are eligible.
* Previous treatment with other genetically engineered CAR T cells.
* Active HIV, Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or uncontrolled infection.
* Patients who require systemic corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive therapy.
* Evidence of tumor potentially causing airway obstruction.
* Inability to comply with protocol requirements.
* Insufficient availability of T cells.
