Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: The data was collected throughout the duration of the clinical trial. From April 2021 (enrollment of the first patient) and until exclusion of the last patient in March 2024 (2 years, 11 months) For the individual patient, the reporting started at study enrolment and ended with study exclusion (minimum of 6 months follow-up after therapy or until study completion), up to 9.5 months Adverse events were collected every 6 weeks for the first 3 months and every 3 months hereafter, median 92 days.. Reporting threshold: 0%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

Although immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of many cancers, ovarian cancer patients have not yet benefitted from the advances. In two consecutive pilot trials at National Center for Cancer Immune Therapy (CCIT-DK), is has been have shown that adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with TILs for patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC) is feasible and tolerable. In the most recent of these trials ACT was combined with a CTLA-4 inhibitor, Ipilimumab and a PD1-inhibitor, Nivolumab. Only transient clinical responses where observed. Between 90-100 % of infused T-cells in our previous ovarian cancer ACT trial expressed LAG-3. The interaction between LAG-3 on T-cells and MHC-II on tumor cells inhibits T-cell function. In this study adding the LAG-3 antibody Relatlimab to the ACT-regimen described above may therefore well unleash T-cell antitumor efficacy by blocking the known LAG-3-MHC-II interaction. With this study the aim is to demonstrate that adding the lag-3-inhibitor Relatlimab to the above treatment regimen is feasible and tolerable. The study will elucidate whether the combination Relatlimab-Nivolumab leads to objective responses and improves progression free survival (PFS).
