Immune cell therapy takes on tough endometrial cancer
NCT ID NCT06481592
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a personalized cell therapy called lifileucel (TIL) in 60 people with advanced endometrial cancer that has been treated before. Doctors take a sample of the patient's tumor, grow immune cells from it in a lab, and then infuse them back after a short course of chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- lifileucel (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, TIL)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for advanced endometrial cancer that has not responded to prior therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves strong chemotherapy and IL-2, which can cause serious side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma. All histologies, including carcinosarcoma, will be allowed. Uterine sarcoma will not be allowed. 2. Participants who have received the following previous therapies: * At least 1 but no more than 4 lines of prior systemic therapy with no more than 2 lines of chemotherapy in any setting (ie, neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting as well as for recurrent, metastatic, or primary unresectable disease. . * Participants have received platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. * Participants who declined platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and/or an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy or were deemed ineligible for such therapies by the investigator may be considered after discussion with the medical monitor. * Systemic therapy counting towards lines of therapy includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and antibody drug conjugates, given alone or in combination. Hormonal therapy does not count as a line of therapy. * Participants must have either (i) documented radiographic disease progression during or after the last line of therapy or (ii) discontinued their last line of therapy because of treatment intolerance or toxicity or (iii) with medical monitor discussion, participant/physician decision in the context of stable disease with evidence of tumor growth. 3. Participants who have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 and estimated life expectancy of \>6 months. 4. Participants having at least one resectable lesion and at least one measurable lesion, following resection of the lesion for TIL generation. 5. Participants who have adequate organ function, including adequate cardiopulmonary function. 6. Participants of childbearing potential must be willing to practice an approved method of highly effective birth control during treatment and up to 12 months after the last dose of study intervention. 7. Participants who are \>70 years of age may be allowed to enroll after the investigator discusses with the medical monitor. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who have symptomatic untreated brain metastases. 2. Participants who have had a history of allogeneic organ transplant or any form of cell therapy involving prior conditioning chemotherapy within the past 20 years. 3. Participants who require systemic steroid therapy \> 10 mg/day prednisone or another steroid equivalent dose. 4. Participants who have any form of primary immunodeficiency. 5. Participants who have another primary malignancy within the previous 3 years. 6. Participants who have received or will receive a live or attenuated vaccination within 28 days prior to the start of the NMALD.
