NCT ID NCT06120712

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tested a new treatment called GC101 TIL for people with advanced melanoma that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses immune cells taken from the patient's own tumor, grown in a lab, and then given back to the patient. The study enrolled 18 participants and looked at safety and whether the tumors shrank.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

GC101 TIL (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a type of immune cell taken from the patient's own tumor)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced melanoma who have run out of standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves serious side effects and may not shrink tumors in all patients.
