Triple attack: new cell therapy combo takes on melanoma

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with melanoma have received standard first-line therapy and have been diagnosed with non-resectable, metastatic, progressive or recurrent conditions. * The expression of melanoma specific antigens is immunohistochemically stained and verified. * Body weight greater than or equal to 40 kg. * Age: ≥18 year and ≤ 75 years of age at the time of enrollment. * Life expectancy: at least 8 weeks. * Prior Therapy: 1. There is no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens. Any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity of any previous therapy must be resolved to grade 2 or less. 2. Participants must not have received hematopoietic growth factors for at least 1 week prior to mononuclear cells collection. 3. At least 7 days must have elapsed since the completion of therapy with any biologic agent, targeted agent, tyrosine kinase inhibitor or metronomic non-myelosuppressive regimen. 4. At least 4 weeks must have elapsed since prior therapy that includes a monoclonal antibody. 5. At least 1 week must has elapsed since any radiation therapy at the time of study entry. * Karnofsky/jansky score of 70% or greater. * Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40/55 percent. * Pulse Ox greater than or equal to 90% on room air. * 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.
