Injecting engineered immune cells to treat advanced solid tumors
Official title: A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Engineering Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Injection (GC203 TIL)in Patients With Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors
Run by Shanghai Juncell Therapeutics · NCT06375187 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment that uses specially modified immune cells taken from patients' tumors to see if it can help people with advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced metastatic solid tumors that have failed standard therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of engineered Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors who have not responded to standard therapies. The approach involves extracting and modifying immune cells from the patient's tumor to enhance their ability to attack cancer cells. Participants will undergo procedures to obtain tumor tissue, which will then be processed to create the GC203 TIL for injection back into the patient. The study aims to provide a new treatment option for patients with various types of advanced cancers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a novel and effective option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted standard treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using engineered TILs have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
