Immune cells take on brain tumors in new pilot study

NCT ID NCT05640193

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a treatment called lifileucel (LN-144) for people with melanoma that has spread to the brain and is no longer responding to standard immunotherapy. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which are grown in a lab and then infused back into the patient. The study aims to see if this approach is feasible and safe for 10 participants with asymptomatic brain metastases.
