Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological proven mRCC with the possibility of surgical removal of tumor tissue of > 1 cm3. Histology must include a clear cell component with or without a sarcomatoid dedifferentiation.
- Metastatic disease irrespective of number of previous treatment lines. Treatment naïve pt's can be included.
- ECOG performance status of ≤1.
- IMDC prognostic group 'Favorable' or 'Intermediary'.
- Life expectancy of > 6 months.
- At least one measurable parameter after surgery in accordance with RECIST 1.1 -criteria's.
- No significant toxicities or side effects (CTC ≤ 1) from previous treatments.
- Normal ejection fraction (EF) measured by a multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan.
- Crom EDTA clearance >40 ml/min.
- Adequate renal, hepatic and hematological function.
- LDH ≤ 5 times upper normal limit as a measure of tumor burden.
- Women in the fertile age must use effective contraception. Likewise, men included in the study, as well as their partners, must use effective contraception. This applies from inclusion and until 6 months after treatment. Birth control pills, spiral, depot injection with gestagen, subdermal implantation, hormonal vaginal ring and transdermal depot patch are all considered safe contraceptives.
- Able to comprehend the information given and willing to sign informed consent.
- Willingness to participate in the planned controls.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A history of prior malignancies, except curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer and CIS of the cervix uteri. Patients treated for another malignancy can participate if they are without signs of disease for a minimum of 3 years after treatment.
- Patients with cerebral metastases.
- Patients with widespread bone or bone only metastases.
- Severe allergies, history of anaphylaxis or known allergies to the administered drugs.
- Severe medical conditions or psychiatric comorbidity.
- Acute/chronic infection with HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis among others.
- Severe and active autoimmune disease.
- Pregnant women and women breastfeeding.
- Simultaneous treatment with systemic immunosuppressive drugs (including prednisolone, methotrexate among others).
- Simultaneous treatment with other experimental drugs.
- Simultaneous treatment with other systemic anti-cancer treatments.
- Patients with active and uncontrollable hypercalcaemia.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Patient group
All patients receive the same treatment. Surgical removal of tumor tissue for T cell production, which takes 4-6 weeks, is performed initially. All patients are hospitalized during treatment (one week in advance of the T cell product being ready and for approximately 3 weeks in total) and receive treatment only once. The patients are admitted to hospital day -8 and receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine on day -7 to day -1. The TILs are infused on day 0 and Interleukin-2 therapy is administered on day 0 to day 5. Interleukin-2 is administered as high-dose i.v. bolus every eight hour starting approximately 6 hours after TIL infusion and for up to 5 days (maximum of 15 doses).
