About this trial
This is a phase II clinical trial to assess the clinical activity of immunotherapy with E7 TCR-T cells for metastatic HPV-associated cancers. HPV-associated cancers in include cervical, throat, penile, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and other cancers. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen, E7 TCR-T cells, and aldesleukin. Clinical response to treatment will be determined.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or refractory/recurrent HPV-16+ cancer.
Tumor and/or blood with HPV16 genotype as determined by testing performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory.
HLA-A*02:01 allele as determined by testing performed in a CLIA certified laboratory. Participants may be enrolled based on low resolution typing (i.e., HLA-A*02) but the HLA-A*02:01 allele type must be confirmed prior to apheresis.
Measurable disease as assessed by RECIST Criteria Version 1.1.
Disqualifiers
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness such as active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations at the time of treatment that would limit compliance with study requirements.
History of severe allergic reactions to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to agents used in this study.
History of coronary revascularization or ischemic symptoms unless patient has a normal cardiac stress test.
Clinically significant atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias including but not limited to: atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, second or third degree heart block or
