MULTISTEP PROCESS FOR CULTURING TUMOR-INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES FOR THERAPEUTIC USE

The present invention is targeted towards depleting suppressive cells, including regulatory T cells, and/or reinvigorating exhausted Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in vitro by co-culturing excised TIL containing tumor fragments (or tumor digest) with Tumor Microenvironment (TME) Stimulators,...

Summary:The present invention is targeted towards depleting suppressive cells, including regulatory T cells, and/or reinvigorating exhausted Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in vitro by co-culturing excised TIL containing tumor fragments (or tumor digest) with Tumor Microenvironment (TME) Stimulators, such as Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs), Cytokines/interleukins, and/or inhibiting the effect of regulatory T cells secreted factors (such as inhibiting IL-10) thereby creating a favorable tumor microenvironment where inhibitory T-cells and/or signals are removed so that exhausted T-cells can expand faster, to higher numbers, and are more potent than currently established TIL expansion protocols. A time lapse of the use of TME stimulators is of interest.
