Description
EXPANSION OF TUMOR INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES FROM LIQUID TUMORS ¥ THERAPEUTIC USES OF THE SAME field of invention Methods for expanding tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), derived from the blood and / or bone marrow of a patient with a hematologic neoplasm, such as a fluid tumor, including lymphomas and leukemias, and compositions comprising populations of TILs derived from these are described herein. What's more,. The therapeutic uses of TILs expanded from the. blood or bone marrow from a patient with a hematologic malignancy, such as a fluid tumor, including en. the treatment of such hematologic malignancies, are described herein. Background of the Invention Treatment of bulky, refractory cancers using adoptive autologous transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) represents a powerful approach to therapy for patients with poor prognosis. Gattinoni, et al, ATat. Rév, Immu.ná.1. 2006, 6, 3'83-393. TILs are dominated by T cells, and IL-2-based expansion of TILs followed by "process:rapid expansion" (RED) has become a preferred method for ITL expansion due to its speed and efficiency. Dudley, et al., Science 200:2, 298, -850-54; Dudley, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2005, 23, 2.34.6-57; Dudley, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2-Q08, 26, 5233-39; Riddell, et al., Science 1992, 257, 238-41; Dudley, et al., J. Immunother. .2003, 26, 332-42. A number of approaches to improve responses to TIL therapy in melanoma and expand TIL therapy to other tumor types have been explored with limited success, and the field remains unchanged. Goff, et al., J. Clin. Onecí. 2016, 34, 2389-97; Dudley, et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2008, 26, 5233-39; Rosenberg, et al. , Clin. cancer wow .2011, 17, 4550-57. Early procedures for expansions of TILs from B-cell lymphomas provide poor results, with only 2 of 12 attempts at growth of TILs providing potential activity against tumors. Schwartzentruber, et al., Blood 1993, 82, 1204-1211. There is an urgent need to provide more effective therapies in many hematologic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The.

The terms "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" are intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and inert ingredients. The use of such pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for active pharmaceutical ingredients is well known in the art Except insofar as any conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is compatible with the active pharmaceutical ingredient, their use in therapeutic compositions of the invention is contemplated Additional active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as other drugs, may also be incorporated into the compositions and methods described. The terms "antibody" and its plural form "antibodies" refer to whole immunoglobulins and any antigen-binding fragments ("antigen-binding portion") or single chains thereof. An "antibody" further refers to a glycoprotein comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds, or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VK.) and a light chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three CHI domains, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (herein abbreviated as Vi,) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The VE and Vl regions of an antibody can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, which are also referred to as complementarity determining regions (CDRs). or hypervariable regions (HVR), and which may be interspersed with regions that are less conserved, called framework regions (FR). Each 'V' and Vi, is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminal to the carboxy terminal on it. following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FRS, CDRS, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen epitope or epitopes. The constant regions of antibodies can mediate immunoglobulin binding to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (eg, effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. The term -"antigen" refers to a substance that induces an immune response. In some embodiments, an antigen is a molecule capable of being bound by an antibody or a TCR if presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. The term "antigen" as used herein also encompasses T-cell epitopes. An antigen is additionally capable of being recognized by the immune system. In some embodiments, an antigen is capable of inducing a humoral immune response or a cellular immune response leading to the activation of B cells and / or T cells. In some cases, this may require that the antigen contains or is linked to a Th-cell epitope. An antigen may also have one or more epitopes (eg, B and T epitopes). In some embodiments, an antigen will preferentially react, typically in a highly specific and selective manner, with its corresponding antibody or TCR and not with the host of other antibodies or TCRs, which may be induced by other antigens. The terms "monoclonal antibody", "mAb", "monoclonal antibody composition", or their plural forms refer to a preparation of antibody molecules of single molecular composition. A monoclonal antibody composition exhibits a unique binding specificity and affinity for a particular epitope. Monoclonal antibodies specific for certain receptors can be made using skill and knowledge in the art to inject test subjects with the appropriate antigen and then isolate hybridoma-expressing antibodies having the desired sequence or functional characteristics. The DNA encoding the monoclonal antibody is readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (eg, using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of specifically binding to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of monoclonal antibodies). Hybridoma cells serve as a preferred source of such DNA. Once isolated, the DNA can be placed into expression vectors, which are then transfected into host cells such as E. calli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or honeycomb cells. they do not otherwise produce immunoglobulin protein, to elicit monoclonal antibody synthesis in recombinant host cells. The recombinant production of antibodies will be described in more detail below. The terms "antigen-binding portion" © "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody (or simply "antibody portion" or "fragment"), as used herein, refer to one or more fragments of an antibody. antibodies that retain the ability to specifically bind an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full length antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody include (i): a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the Vl, Vh, Ci, and CHI domains; (ii) an F(ab'..)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bond to the hinge region,- (iii) an Fd fragment consisting of the Vh and CHI domains, (iv) a fragment Fv consisting of the Vr and Vh domains of a single arm of an antibody, (v) an antibody domain fragment (dAb) (Ward, et al., Nature, 19-89·, 341, 544-546) , which may consist of a Vh or Vt domain, and (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR).In addition, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, Vl and Vh, are encoded by separate genes, they may be linked, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that allows them to be made as a single protein chain in which the Vi, and Vh form monovalent molecules known as single chain Fvs (scFvs) see, e.g., Bird, et al., Science 1988, 242, 423-426; and Huston, et al., Proc. Nati. Atad, Sel. USA 1988, 85, 5879-5.8-83). Such scFv antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the terms "antigen-binding portion" or "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody. These antibody fragments are obtained using standard techniques known to those of skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies. The term "intact antibody" as used herein is intended to include antibodies having variable regions in which both the CDR and framework regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Furthermore, if the antibody contains a constant region, the constant region is also derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibodies of the invention may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (eg, mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo). "human antibody", as used herein, is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germ line of other mammalian species, such as mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences. The term "human monoclonal antibody" refers to antibodies that exhibit a unique binding specificity which have variable regions in which both the CDR and framework regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In one embodiment, human monoclonal antibodies are produced by a hybridoma which includes a B cell obtained from a transgenic non-human animal, eg, a transgenic mouse, having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene fused to an immortalized cell. The term "recombinant human antibody" as used herein includes all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as (a) antibodies isolated from an animal (such as a mouse) that is transgenic or transchromosomal for human immunoglobulin genes or a hybridoma prepared therefrom (described further below), (b) antibodies isolated from a host cell transformed to express the human antibody, eg, from a transfectoma , (c) antibodies isolated from a combinatorial, recombinant human antibody library, and (d) antibodies prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by any other means involving splicing of human immunoglobulin gene sequences to other sequences. Such recombinant human antibodies have variable regions in which the CDR and framework regions are derived from immunogenic sequences. human germline obulin. In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies can be subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, somatic mutagenesis in vivo) and thus the amino acid sequences of the Vh and Vl regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and refer to human germline Vh and V, sequences, cannot exist naturally within the human germline repertoire of the antibody in vivo. As used herein, "isotype" refers to the class of antibody (eg, IgM or IgG1) that is encoded by the heavy chain constant region genes. The phrases "an antibody which recognizes an antigen" and "an antibody-specific for an antigen" are used interchangeably herein with the term "an antibody which specifically binds an antigen". The term "human antibody derivatives" refers to any modified form of the human antibody, including a conjugate of the antibody and another active pharmaceutical ingredient or antibody. The terms "conjugate", "antibody-drug conjugate", "ADC", or "immunoconjugate" refer to an antibody, or a fragment thereof, conjugated to another therapeutic moiety, which may be conjugated to antibodies described herein using methods available in the art. The terms "humanized antibody," "-.humanized antibodies," and "humanized" are intended to refer to antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences Additional framework region modifications can be made within the human framework sequences Humanized forms of non-human (eg, marine) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues of a hypervariable region of the recipient are replaced by residues of a hypervariable region of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or nonhuman primate that has the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity In some cases, residues of the Fv framework region (FR) of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. In addition, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or the donor antibody. These modifications are made to further refine the performance of the antibody. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody will optionally also comprise at least a portion of a human immunoglobulin (Fe) constant region, typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For additional details, see Jones, et al., Nature 1986, 321, 522-525; Riechmann, et al., Matare 1988, 332, 32.3-329; and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol 1992, 2, 593-596. The antibodies described herein may also be "modified to employ" any Fe variant which is known to impart an enhancement (eg, reduction) in FcR effector function, effector, and / or binding. Fe variants may include, for example, any of the amino acid substitutions described: in International Patent Application Publication Nos.

The term "chimeric antibody" is intended to refer to antibodies in which the variable region sequences are derived from one species and the constant region sequences are derived from another species, such as an antibody in which the variable region sequences are derived from an antibody and the constant region sequences are derived from a human antibody. A "diabody" is a small antibody fragment with two antigen-binding sites. The fragments comprise a heavy chain variable domain (Vh) connected to a light chain variable domain (Vi.) on the same polypeptide chain (Vh-Vj, or Vl-%). Using a linker that is also short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are spawned to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites. Diabodies are more fully described in, for example, European Patent No. EP 404,097, International Patent Application No. WO 93 / 11161; and Bolliger, et al., Proa. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA 1993, 90, 6444-6448. The term "glycosylation" refers to a modified derivative of an antibody. An aglycosylated antibody lacks glycosylation. Glycosylation can be altered to, for example, increase the affinity of the antibody for the antigen. Such carbohydrate modifications can be made by, for example, altering one or more glycosylation sites within the antibody sequence. For example, one or more amino acid substitutions can be made that result in the removal of one or more variable region framework glycosylation sites to thereby eliminate glycosylation at that site. Aglycosylation can increase the affinity of the antibody for the antigen, as described in US Patent Nos. 5,714,350 and 6,350,861. Additionally or alternatively, an antibody can be made that has an altered type of glycosylation, such as a hypofucosylated antibody that has reduced amounts of fucosyl residues or an antibody that has increased bisecting GlcNác structures. Such altered glycosylation patterns have been shown to increase the capacity of antibodies. Such carbohydrate modifications can be made by, for example, expressing the antibody in a host cell with. altered glycosylation machinery. Cells with altered glycosylation machinery have been described in the art and can be used as host cells in which to express recombinant antibodies of the invention to thereby produce an antibody with altered glycosylation. For example, cell lines Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 lack the fucosyltransferase gene, FOTS (alpha (1,6) fucosyltransferase), so antibodies expressed in cell lines Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 lack fucose in your carbohydrates. The Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 FOTS- / - cell lines were created by targeted disruption of the FOT8 gene in CH0 / DG44 cells using two replacement vectors (see, for example, US Patent Publication No. 2004 / 0110704 or Yamane- Ohnuki, et al., Siotechnol.Eioeng., 2004, 87, 614-622). As another example, European Patent No·. EP 1, 176, 195 describes a cell line with a functionally altered FOT8 gene. which encodes a fucosyl transferase, so that the antibodies expressed in such a cell line present hypofucosylation reducing or eliminating the enzyme related to the alpha 1,6 bond, and also describe cell lines which have a low enzymatic activity to add fucose to the N -acetylglucosamine that binds to the Fc region of the antibody or does not have the enzymatic activity, for example, the rat myeloma cell line. YB2 / 0 (ATCC CRL 1662). International Patent Publication WO 03 / 035835 describes a CHO cell line variant, Lee 13 cells, with reduced ability to bind fucose to Asn(.297)-linked carbohydrates, also resulting in hypofucosylation of antibodies expressed on such host cell ( see also Shields, et al., J. Biol. Chem. (e.g., beta(1,4)-N-acetylglucosatninyltransferase III (GnTIII)) such that antibodies expressed in the engineered cell lines exhibit increased bisenting GlcNac structures resulting in increased ADCC activity of the antibodies ( see also Umana, et al., Nat < Biotech. 1999, 77, 176-180). Alternatively, the fucose residues of the antibody can be cleaved using a fucosidase enzyme. For example, l a Fucosidase alpha-L~ fucos idas-a removes fucosyl residues from antibodies as described in Tarentino, et al., Biochem. 1975, 14, 5516-5523. "Pegylation" refers to a modified antibody, or a fragment thereof, that is typically reacted with polyethylene glycol (PEG), such as a reactive ester or aldehyde derivative of PEG, under conditions in which one or more PEG groups become attached to the antibody or antibody fragment. The pegylation. it can, for example, increase the biological (eg, serum) half-life of the antibody. Preferably, the pegylation is carried out by an acylation reaction.or an alkylation reaction with a reactive PEG molecule (or analogous reactive water-soluble polymer). As used herein, the term "polyethylene glycol" is intended to encompass any of the forms of PEG that have been used to derivatize other proteins, such as monoalkyl(Ci-Cid- or ar.yloxy-poly ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol-maleimide The antibody to be pegylated may be an aglycosylated antibody Methods for pegylation are known in the art and can be applied to the antibodies of the invention, as described, for example, in the European Patent Nos. EP 0154316 and EP 0401384 and US Patent No. 5,824,778, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated by reference herein The terms "fusion protein" or "fusion polypeptide" refer to proteins that combine the properties of two or more individual proteins Such proteins have at least two heterologous polypeptides covalently linked either directly or via an amino acid linker The polypeptides that make up the protein fusion are typically C-terminal or N-terminal ligated, although they may also be C-terminal to C-terminal ligated, N-terminal to N-terminal, or N-terminal to C-terminal. The polypeptides of the fusion protein may be in any order and may include more than one of either or both of the constituent polypeptides. The term encompasses conservatively modified variants, polymorphic variants, . alleles, mutants, subsequences, interspecies homologues, and immunogenic fragments of the antigens that constitute the fusion protein. The fusion proteins of the disclosure may also comprise additional copies of a component antigen or immunogenic fragment thereof. The fusion protein may contain one or more binding domains linked together and further linked to an Fc domain, such as an Fc domain of IgG. Fusion proteins can further be ligated together to mimic a monoclonal antibody and provide six or more binding domains. Fusion proteins can be produced by recombinant methods as is known in the art. The preparation of fusion proteins is known in the art and is described, for example, in International Patent Application Publication Nos. WO 1995 / 0277.35 Al, WO 2005 / 103077 Al, WO 2-008 / 025516 Al, WO 2009 / 007120 Al, WO 2010 / 00'3766 Al, WO 2010 / 010051 Al, WO 2010 / 078966 Al, US Patent Application Publication Nos. US 2015 / 0125419 Al and US 2016 / 0272695 Al, and US Patent No. 8,921,519 , the descriptions of each of which are incorporated by reference herein. The term "heterologous" when used with reference to portions of a nucleic acid or protein indicates that the nucleic acid or protein comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature. For example, nucleic acid is typically recombinantly produced, having two or more sequences from unrelated genes arranged to constitute a new functional nucleic acid, for example, a promoter from one source and a coding region from another source, or coding regions from different sources. Similarly, one. "heterologous protein" means that the protein comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to each other in nature. Similarly, a heterologous protein indicates that the protein comprises two or more subsequences that are not found in the same relationship to one another in nature (eg, a fusion protein). The term "conservative amino acid substitutions" means amino acid sequence modifications which do not abrogate binding of an antibody or fusion protein to antigen. Conservative amino acid substitutions include the substitution of an amino acid in a class for an amino acid from the same class, where a class is defined by common physicochemical amino acid side-chain properties and high substitution frequencies in homologous proteins found in nature, as shown. determined, for example, by a standard Dayhoff frequency ambience swap matrix or BLOSU14 matrix. Six general classes of amino acid side chains have been categorized and include: Class I (Cys), Class II (Ser, Thr, Pro,.Wing, Qly) ; Class III (Asn, Asp, Gln, Glu) ; Class IV (His, Arg, Lys) ; Class V (.He, Leu, Val, Met) ; and Class VI (Phe, Tyr, Tip). For example, substitution of an Asp for another class III residue such as Asn, Gln, or Glu, is a conservative substitution. Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in an antibody is preferably replaced with another amino acid residue of the same kind. Methods for identifying conservative amino acid substitutions which do not eliminate antigen binding are well known in the art (see, for example, Brummell, et al., Biochemistry 1993, 32, 1180-1187; Kobayashi, et al., Protein Eng 1999, 12, 879-884 (1999) and Burks, et al., Proa Nati Acad, Sci USA 1997, 94, 412-417 The terms "'sequence identity", "percent identity " and "percent sequence identity" (or synonyms thereof, eg, "99% identical") in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptides, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or that have a specified percentage of nucleotide or amino acid residues that are the same, when compared and aligned (introducing gaps, if necessary) for maximum correspondence, not considering any conservative amino acid substitutions as part of sequence identity Percent identity can be measured using do sequence comparison software or algorithms or by visual inspection. Various algorithms and software are known in the art that can be used to obtain nucleotide or amino acid sequence alignments. Suitable programs for determining percent sequence identity include, for example, the BLAST suite of programs available from the US Government National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST website. Comparisons between two sequences can be carried out using either the BLASTN or BLASTP algorithm. The BLASTN is used to compare nucleic acid sequences, while the BLASTP is used to compare amino acid sequences. ALIGN, ALIGN-2 (Genentech, South San Francisco, California) or MegAlign, -available from DNASTAR, are additional publicly available software programs that can be used to align sequences. One of skill in the art can determine appropriate parameters for maximum alignment by particular alignment software. In certain embodiments, the fault parameters of the alignment software are used. As used herein, the term "variant" encompasses but is not limited to antibodies or fusion proteins which comprise an amino acid sequence which differs from the amino acid sequence of a reference antibody or by one or more substitutions, deletions and / or additions at certain positions within or adjacent to the amino acid sequence of the reference antibody. The variant may comprise one or more conservative substitutions in its amino acid sequence compared to the amino acid sequence of a reference antibody. Conservative substitutions may involve, for example, the substitution of similarly charged or uncharged amino acids. The variant retains the ability to specifically bind to the antigen of the reference antibody. The term "variant" also includes antibodies or pegylated proteins. Nucleic acid sequences implicitly encompass conservatively modified variants thereof (eg, degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences, as well as the explicitly indicated sequence. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions can be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of -one or more selected (or all) codons is replaced with deoxyinosine and / or mixed base residues. Batzer, et al., Nucleia Ac.id.Res. 1991, '19, 5081; Ohtsuka, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1985, 2é'Q, 2605"2$08; Rossolini, et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 1994, 8, 91--98. The term nucleic acid is used interchangeably with cDNA, mRNA, oligonucleotide, and polynucleotide. The term "bio.similar" means a biological product, including a monoclonal antibody or protein, that is highly similar to a reference biological product authorized by the United States despite minor differences in clinically inactive components, and for which no clinically significant differences exist. significant differences between the biological product and the reference product in terms of the safety, purity, and potency of the product In addition, a similar biological or "biosimilar" medicine is a biological medicine that is similar to another biological medicine that has already been authorized for use by the European Medicines Agency. The term "tolos imi 1-ar" is also used synonymously by other regional and national regulatory agencies. Biological products or biological medicines are medicines that are manufactured by, or derived from, a biological source , such as a bacterium or yeast.They may consist of relatively small molecules such as human insulin or erythroppyetin, or complex molecules such as thionoclonal antibodies. For example, if the IL-2 reference protein is aldesleukin (PROLEUCIN), a protein approved by drug regulatory authorities with reference to aldesleukin is a "biosimilar to", aldesleukin or is a "biosimilar thereof to aldesleukin. In Europe , a similar biological or "biosimilar" medicine is a biological medicine that is similar to another biological medicine that has already been authorized for use by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).The relevant legal basis for similar biological applications in Europe is the Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 726 / 2004 and Article 10(4) of Directive 2001 / 83 / EC, as amended, and therefore in Europe, the biosimilar may be authorized, approved for authorization or subject to an application for authorization under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 726 / 2004 and Article 10(4) of Directive 2001 / 83 / EC The original biological medicinal product already authorized may be referred to as a ''medicinal product of reference" and n Europe. Some of the requirements for a product to be considered a biosimilar are outlined in the CUMP Guidelines on Similar Biological Medicinal Products. In addition, product-specific guidelines, including guidelines that relate to monoclonal antibody biosimilars, are provided on a product-by-product basis by the EMA and posted on its website. A biosimilar as described herein may be similar to the reference medicinal product through quality characteristics, biological activity, mechanism of action, safety and / or efficacy profiles. In addition, the biosimilar may be used or proposed for use to treat the same conditions as the reference medicinal product. In this way, a biosimilar - as described in 1.a herein - can be considered to have similar or highly similar quality characteristics to a reference medicinal product. Alternatively, or in addition to, a biosimilar as described herein may be considered to have similar or highly similar biological activity to a reference medicinal product. Alternatively, or in addition to, a biosimilar as described herein may be considered to have a similar or highly similar safety profile to a reference medicinal product. As described herein, a biosimilar in Europe is compared to a reference medicinal product which has been authorized by the EMA. However, in some cases, the biosimilar may be compared to a biological medicinal product which has been authorized outside the European Economic Area (a "comparator" not authorized by the EEA) in certain studies. Such studies include, for example, certain clinical and non-clinical in vivo studies. As used herein, the term "biosimilar" also refers to a biological medicinal product which has been or may be compared to a comparator not authorized by the EEA. Certain biosimilars are proteins such as antibodies, antibody fragments (eg, antigen-binding moieties), and fusion proteins.A protein biosimilar may have an amino acid sequence that has minor modifications in amino acid structure (including, for example, amino acid deletions, additions, and / or substitutions), which do not significantly affect the function of the polypeptide. The biosimilar may comprise an amino acid sequence that has 97% or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of its reference medicinal product, eg, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. The biosimilar may comprise one or more post-translational modifications i onal is, for example, but not limited to, glycosylation, oxidation, deamidation, and / or truncation which is / are different from the post-translational modifications of the medicinal product provided that the differences do not result in a change in the safety and / or efficacy of the medicinal product. The biosimilar may have a different or identical glycosylation pattern to the reference medicinal product. Particularly, though not exclusively, the biosimilar may have a different glycosylation pattern if the differences address or are intended to address safety concerns associated with the reference medicinal product. Additionally, the biosimilar may deviate from the reference medicinal product in, for example, its strength, pharmaceutical form, formulation, excipients and / or presentation, provided that the safety and efficacy of the. medicinal product is not compromised, The biosimilar may comprise differences in e.g. pharmacokinetic (PK) and / or pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles compared to the reference medicinal product but is still considered sufficiently similar to the reference medicinal product to be authorized or considered suitable for authorization. In certain circumstances, the biosimilar presents different binding characteristics compared to the reference medicinal product, where the different binding characteristics are considered by a Regulatory Authority such as the EMA not to be a barrier for authorization as a Similar biological product. The term "biosimilar" is also used synonymously by other national and regional regulatory agencies. The term "hematologic malignancy" refers to mammalian cancers and tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphatic tissues, including, but not limited to, tissues of the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and lymphatic system. Hematological neoplasms can result in the formation of a '"liquid tumor". Hematologic malignancies include, but are not limited to, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute myelogenous leukemia (CML) , acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL), Hodgkin's lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The term "B-cell hematologic neoplasm" refers to hematologic neoplasms that affect B cells. The term "liquid tumor" refers to an abnormal mass of cells that is fluid in nature. Liquid tumor cancers include, but are not limited to, leukemias, myelomas, and lymphomas, as well as other hematologic malignancies. TILs obtained from liquid tumors, which include bone marrow-resident liquid tumors, may also be referred to herein as marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs). TILs obtained from liquid tumors, which include liquid tumors circulating in peripheral blood, may also be referred to herein as PBLs. The terms MIL, TIL, and PBL are used interchangeably herein and differ only based on. the type of tissue from which the cells are derived. The term "biopsy" refers to any medical procedure to obtain cancer cells, including bone marrow biopsy. The terms "acute myeloid leukemia" or "AML" refer to cancers of the myeloid blood cell lines, which are also known in the art as myelogenous leukemia and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Although AML is a liquid tumor, some manifestations of AML, including extramedullary manifestations such as chloroma, exhibit properties of a solid tumor, but are classified herein as a liquid tumor.The term "microenvironment", as used herein, may refer to the hematologic or solid tumor microenvironment as a whole or to an individual subset of cells within the microenvironment. The tumor microenvironment, as used herein, refers to a complex mixture of "cells, soluble factors, signaling molecules, extracellular matrices, and mechanistic signals that promote neoplastic transformation, support tumor growth, and invasion, they protect the tumor from host immunity, foster therapeutic resistance, and provide niches for dominant metastases to thrive", as described in Swartz, et al. Cancer Res., 2012, 72, 2473. Although tumors express antigens that must be recognized by T cells, clearance of the tumor by the e-1 immune system is rare due to immune suppression by the microenvironment. The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to such an amount of a compound or combination of compounds as described herein that is sufficient to effect the proposed application which includes, but is not limited to, treatment of illness. A therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the intended application (in vitro or in vivo), or the subject and disease condition to be treated (eg, the weight, age, and gender of the subject), the severity of the condition of the disease, or the manner of administration. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells (eg, reduction of platelet adhesion and / or cell migration). The specific dose will vary depending on the particular compounds chosen, the dosage regimen to be followed, whether the compound is administered in combination with other compounds, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the. physical delivery system in which the compound is carried. A "therapeutic effect" as such term is used herein, encompasses a therapeutic benefit and / or a prophylactic benefit. A prophylactic effect includes delaying or eliminating the onset of a disease or condition, delaying or eliminating the onset of symptoms of a disease or condition, reducing, hindering, or reversing the progress of a disease or condition, or any combination thereof. The terms "treatment", "treating", "treating", and the like, refer to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptom thereof and / or it may be therapeutic in terms of a partial or complete cure for a disease and / or adverse effect attributable to the disease. "Treatment" as used herein, covers any treatment, of a disease- in a mammal, particularly: in a human, and includes: (a) preventing the disease from occurring in a subject which may be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b) inhibit the disease, ie stop its development or progress; and (c) alleviating the disease, ie, causing regression of the disease and / or alleviating one or more symptoms of the disease. "Treatment" too. means encompass supplying an agent for the purpose. to provide a pharmacological effect, even in the absence of a disease or condition. For example, "treatment" encompasses provision of a composition that can elicit an immune response or confer immunity in the absence of a disease condition, eg, in. the case of a vaccine. The terms "QD," "qd," or- "q.d." means every day, once a day, or once a day. The terms "BID," "bid," or "b.i.d." .mean two a day, twice a day, or twice a day . The terms "TID.," "tid," or-"t.i.d." they mean three a day, three times a day, or three times daily. The terms "QID," "qid,·" or "q.i.d." they mean four a day, four times a day, or four times daily. By "tumor infiltrating lymphocytes" or "TILs" herein is meant a population of cells originally obtained as white blood cells that have left a subject's bloodstream and migrated into a tumor. TILs include, but are not limited to, CD8 + cytotoxic T cells (lymphocytes), CD4 + Thl and Thl 7 T cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and MI macrophages.TILs include both primary and secondary TILs. "Primary TILs" are those that are obtained from patient tissue samples as outlined herein (sometimes referred to as "freshly harvested"), and "secondary TILs" are any of the TIL cell populations that have been been expanded or proliferated as discussed herein, including, but not limited to volume TILs, expanded TILs ("REP TILs"), as well as reREP" TILs as discussed herein. TILs may in Generally, be defined either biochemically, using cell surface markers, or functionally, by their ability to infiltrate tumors and effect treatment.TILs can be broadly categorized as expressing one or more of the following biomarkers: CD4 , CD8, TCR αβ, CD27, CD28, CD56, CCR7, CD45Ra, CD95, PD-1, and CD2S Additionally and alternatively, TILs can be functionally defined by their ability to infiltrate solid tumors after reintroduction into a patient. TILs can further be categorized by potency—for example, TILS can be considered potent if, for example, interferon (IFN) release is greater than about 50 pg / mL, greater than about 100 pg / mL, greater than about 150 pg / mL, or greater than about 200 pg / mL. By "cryopreserved TILs" (or cryopreserved MILs or PBLs) as used herein, it is meant that the TILs, whether primary, bulk, or expanded (REP TILs), are treated and stored in the range of about -150°C to -gO°C. General methods for cryopreservation are also described elsewhere herein, including in the Examples. For clarity, "cryopreserved TILs" indistinguishable from frozen tissue samples which can be used as a source of Primary TILS By "thawed cryopreserved TILs" (or thawed MILs or PBLs), as used herein means a population of TILs that was previously cryopreserved and then treated to return to room temperature or higher, including but not limited to temperatures of cell culture or temperatures at which TILs can be administered to a patient By "cell population" (which includes TILs) as used herein, it means a number of cells that share common traits. In general, populations generally range from 1 X 105 to 1 X 1Q:IO in number, with different populations of TILs comprising different numbers. For example, initial growth of primary TILs in the presence of IL-2 results in a population of TILs of approximately 1x volume. 108 cells. REP expansion is generally done to provide stocks of. 1.5 x 103 up to 1.5 x LO10 cells for infusion. In general, TILs are initially obtained from a sample. of the patient's tumor ("primary TILs") and then expanded to a larger population for further manipulation as described herein, optionally cryopreserved, restimulated as outlined herein, and optionally evaluated for phenotype and metabolic parameters such as a TIL health indication. In general, the harvested cell suspension is called a "primary cell population" or a "freshly harvested" cell population. In general, as discussed herein, TILs are initially prepared by obtaining a primary population of TILs from a patient's resected tumor as discussed herein (the "primary cell population" or "first cell population"). ). This is followed with an initial volume expansion using a culture of the cells with I.L-2, - forming a second population of cells (sometimes referred to herein as "volume TIL population" or "second population"). The term "cytotoxic lymphocyte" includes cytotoxic T cells (CTL) (including CD8* cytotoxic T lymphocytes and CD4* T-helper cells), natural killer T cells (NKT), and natural killer (NK) cells. Cytotoxic lymphocytes may include, for example, peripheral blood-derived TCR γδ-positive or TCR αβ-positive T cells activated by tumor-associated antigens and / or transduced with tumor-specific chimeric antigen receptors- or T-cell receptors, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).The term "central memory T cells" refers to a subset of T cells that, in humans, are CD45.RO+ and constitutively express CCR.7 (CCR7h i) and CD62L (CD62 hi). The central memory T cell surface phenotype also includes TCR, CD3, CD 127 (IL-7R), and IL-15R. Transcription factors for central memory T cells include BCL-6, BCL-6B, MBD.2, and ΒΜΙΣ. Central memory T cells mainly secrete IL-2 and CD40.L as effector molecules after TCR activation. Central memory T cells are predominant in the CD4 compartment. blood, and in humans they are proportionally enriched in lymph nodes and tonsils. The term "effector memory T cells" refers to a subset of mammalian or human T cells that, like those. Central memory T cells are CD45R0+, but have lost constitutive expression of CCR7 (CCR71o) and are heterogeneous or low for expression of CD62L (CD62Llo). The central memory T cell surface phenotype also includes TCR, CD.3, CD 127 (IL-7R), and IL-15R. Transcription factors for central memory T cells include BLI.MP1. Effector memory T cells rapidly secrete high levels of inflammatory cytokines after antigenic stimulation, including interferon-γ, IL-4, and IL-5. Effector memory T cells are predominantly in the CD8 compartment in the blood, and in humans they are proportionally enriched in the lung, liver, and intestine. effector memory T cells. CD8+ cells carry large amounts of perforin. The term "closed system" refers to a system which is closed in the external environment. Any closed system suitable for cell culture methods can be employed with the methods of the present invention. Closed systems include, for example, but are not limited to closed G containers. Once a tumor segment is added to the closed system, the system is not opened to the outside environment until the TILs are ready to be administered to the patient. In some embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure further include, a "pre-REP*" step in which tumor tissue or cells from tumor tissue are grown in standard laboratory medium (including without limitation RPMI) and are treated with reagents such as irradiated feeder cells and anti-CD3 antibodies to achieve a desired effect, such as an increase in the number of TILs and / or an enrichment of the population for cells containing desired cell surface markers or other functional or biochemical, structural characteristics The pre-REP stage can use laboratory-grade reagents (under the assumption that laboratory-grade reagents are diluted during or after a REP stage.), making it easier to incorporate alternative strategies to improve production of TIL Therefore, in some embodiments, the described TLR agonist and / or peptide or peptidomimetics may be included in the cultured during the pre-REP stage, If cultured pre-REP may, in some embodiments, include IL-2.

Tumor digestions can be produced by placing the tumor in enzymatic medium and mechanically dissociating the tumor for approximately 1 minute, followed by incubation for 3 0 minutes at 3 7 ®C in 5% CO.2, followed by repeated cycles of dissociation and dissociation. mechanical incubation under the above conditions until only small pieces of tissue are present. At the end of this process, if the cell suspension contains a large number of red blood cells or dead cells, a density gradient separation using FICOLL hydrophilic branched polysaccharide can be performed to remove these cells.

A._STAGE A; Obtain a _tumor_sample from_the_patient In general, TILs are initially obtained from a patient tumor sample ("primary TILs") and then expanded into a larger population for further manipulation as described herein, optionally cryopreserved, restimulated as outlined herein and optionally evaluated for phenotype and metabolic parameters as an indication of Tr liS health. A tumor sample from the patient can be obtained using methods known in the art, generally by surgical resection, needle biopsy, apheresis, or other means to obtain a sample containing a tumor sample and TIL cells. In general, the tumor sample may be from any solid tumor, including primary tumors, invasive tumors, or metastatic tumors. The tumor sample may also be a liquid tumor, such as a tumor obtained from. from a hematologic malignancy. The solid tumor can be of any type, including, but not limited to, breast, pancreatic, prostate, colorectal, lung, brain, kidney, stomach, and skin (including, but not limited to, squamous cell carcinoma, basal, and melanoma)- In some modalities, useful TILs are obtained from malignant melanoma tumors, as these have been reported to have particularly high levels of TILs. In some modalities, the tumor is larger than about 1.5 cm but less than about 4 cm. In some modalities, the tumor is less than 4 cm. Once obtained, the tumor sample is generally fragmented using sharp dissection into small pieces between 1 to about 8 mm3, with about 2-3 mm3 being particularly useful. TILs are grown from these fragments using enzymatic tumor digestion. Such tumor digestions can be produced by incubation in enzyme media (eg, Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RP.MI) 1640 buffer), 2 mM glutamate, 10 mcg / mL gentamicin, 30 units / mL DNase, and 1.0 mg / mL collagenase) followed by mechanical dissociation (eg, using a tissue dissociator). Tumor digestions can be produced by placing the tumor on. enzymatic medium and mechanically dissociating the tumor for approximately 1 minute, followed by incubation for 30 minutes at 37°C in 5% CO followed by repeated cycles of mechanical dissociation and incubation under the above conditions until only small pieces of tissue are present. . At the end of this process, if the cell suspension contains a large number of red blood cells or dead cells, a density-gradient separation using FICOLL hydrophilic branched polysaccharide can be performed to remove these cells. Alternative methods known in the art may be used, such as those described in US Patent Application Publication No. 2012 / 0244133 Al, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Any selection method known in the art can be used, for example, the methods described in Publication of US Patent Application No. 2016 / 0010058 Al, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference, can be used to screen TILs for superior tumor reactivity. The REP and / or second TIL expansion can be performed using T-175 flasks and gas permeable bags as previously described (Tran KQ, Zhou J, Durflinger KH, et al., 2008, J Immunother., 31:742 -751, and Dudley ME, Wunderlich JR, Shelton TE, et al, 2003, J Immunother., 26:332-342) or gas permeable G-Rex flasks. In some modalities, REP and / or la is performed. second expansion using flasks. In some embodiments, REP is performed using gas permeable G-Rex flasks. For REP TIL and / or the second expansion in T-175 flasks, approximately 1 x .106 TIL is suspended in approximately 150 mL of medium and this is added to each T-175 flask. TILs are cultured with irradiated allogeneic PBMC (50 Gy) as "feeder" cells at a ratio of 1 to 100 and the cells are cultured in a 1:1 mixture of -CM medium and AIM-V (50 / 50 ratio). medium), supplemented with 3000 XU / mL of IL-2 and 30 ng / mL of anti-CD3. T-175 flasks are incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. In some modes, the half of the medium is changed on day 5 using 50 / 50 medium with 3000 IU / mL IL-2. In some embodiments, on day 7, cells from 2 T-175 flasks are combined in a 3 L bag and AIM-V with 5% human AB serum and 3000 I'U / mL IL-2 are added. at 300 mL of TIL suspension. The number of cells in each bag can be counted every day or two and fresh medium can be added to keep the cell count between about 0.5 and about 2.0 x 10® cells / mL. For REP of TIL and / or the second expansion in 500 mL capacity flasks with 100 cm 2 gas-permeable silicon bottoms (G-RexlOO, Wilson Wolf), approximately 5 x 10® or 10 x 10® TIL are cultured with allogeneic PBMC irradiated at a ratio of 1 to 100 in 400 mL of 50 / 50 medium, supplemented with 3000 IU / mL IL-2 and 30 ng / mL anti-CD3.

TIL pellets can then be resuspended with 150 mL of 50 / 50 fresh medium containing 3000 IU / mL IL-2 and added back to the original G-RexlOO flasks In modalities where TILs are serially expanded in G-Rex 100 flasks, on day 7 the TILs in each G-RexlOO are suspended in 300mL of medium present in each flask and the cell suspension is divided into three 100mL aliquots that are used to seed 3 G-Rex100 flasks.Then, 15Ό mL of AIM-V with 5% human AB serum and 3000 μL / mL of IL-2 is added to each flask.The G-Rex 100 flasks are incubated at 37°C for 5 % C02 and after 4 days 150 μL of AI.M-V with 3000 IU / mL of IL-2 is added to a given flask G-Re.xl00 Cells are harvested on day 14 of culture 1. Cells Al Carriers and Antigen-Presenting Cells In one embodiment, the second expansion procedures described herein (Stage D, including REP) require excess feeder cells during REP TIL expansion and / or during second expansion. In many embodiments, the feeder cells are peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from standard whole blood units from healthy blood donors. PBMCs are obtained using standard methods such as Ficoll-Paque gradient separation. In general, allogeneic PBMCs are inactivated, either by irradiation or heat treatment, and used in REP procedures, as described in the Examples, in particular Example 14, which provides an exemplary protocol for evaluating 'Replication incompetence of irradiated allogeneic PBMCs. In some embodiments, PBMCs are considered replication-incompetent and accepted for use in the TIL expansion procedures described herein if the total number of viable cells at day 14 is less than the number of initial, viable cells in culture in on day 0 of the REP and / or day 0 of the second expansion (i.e. the start day of the second expansion). In some embodiments, PBMCs are considered replication-incompetent and accepted for use in the TIL expansion methods described herein if the total number of viable cells, cultured in the presence of OKT3. and IL-2, at day 7 and day 14 has not increased from the number of initial viable cells placed in culture at day 0 of the EPR and / or day 0 of the second expansion (i.e., the day of start of the second expansion). In some embodiments, PBMCs are cultured in the presence of 3-Ong / ml 0KT3 antibody and 3000 IU / ml IL-2. In some embodiments, PBMCs are considered replication incompetent and accepted for use in the TIL expansion procedures described herein if the total number of viable cells, cultured in the presence of OKT3 and IL-2, on day 7 and day 14 has not increased from the initial viable cell number put in. culture on day 0 of the REP and / or day 0 of the second expansion (ie, the start day of the second expansion). In some embodiments, PBMCs are cultured in the presence of 5-60 ng / ml. of OKT3 antibody and 1000-6'000 IU / ml IL-2. In some embodiments, PBMCs are cultured in the presence of 10-50 ng / ml OKT3 antibody and 0.200-5000 IU / ml IL-2. In some embodiments, PBMCs are cultured in the presence of 20-40 ng / ml OKT3 antibody and 2000-4000 IU / ml IL-2. In some embodiments, PBMCs are cultured in the presence of 25-35 ng / ml. ml of 0KT3 antibody and 2500-3500 lü / ml IL-2, In one embodiment, the artificial antigen presenting cells are used in the REP step as a replacement for, or in combination with, PBMCs. 2, Cytoin The expansion methods described herein generally use culture medium with high doses of a cytokine, in particular IL-2, as is known in the art. Alternatively, using combinations of cytokines for rapid expansion and / or second expansion of TILs is additionally possible, with combinations of two or more of IB-2, IL-15 and IL-21 as generally summarized in the 'Publication US Patent Application No. US 2017 / 0107490 Al, International Publication No. WO 2015 / 18935-6, US Patent Application Publication No. US 2017 / 0107490 .Al, and International Publication No. WO 2015 / 1893 57, each of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety. Thus, possible combinations include IL-2 and IL-15, IL-2 and IL-21, IL-15 and IL-2'Ι and IL-2, IL-15 and .IL-21, with the latter finding particular use in many modalities. The use of combinations of cytokines specifically promotes the generation of lymphocytes, and in particular T-cells can not be described herein. 3. Anti-CP 3 antibodies In some embodiments, the culture medium used in expansion methods described herein (including REP) also includes an anti-CD3 antibody. An anti-CD3 antibody in combination with IL-2 induces T cell activation and cell division in the TIL population. This effect can be seen with full-length antibodies as well as Fab and F1'ab' fragments, with the former being generally preferred; see, eg, Tsoukas et al., J. Immunal. 1985, 135, 1719, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. As will be appreciated by those in the art, there are a number of suitable anti-human CD3 antibodies that find use in the invention, including monoclonal and polyclonal anti-human CD3 antibodies from various mammals, including, but not limited to, marine, human, primate, rat, and canine antibodies. In particular embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody O.KT3 (commercially available from Ortho~McNe.il, Raritan, NJ or Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA) is used. E. STAGE E: Collection of TILs After the second expansion stage, the cells can be harvested. In some embodiments the TILs are collected after one, two, three, four or more second stage expansion. The TILs can be collected in any appropriate sterile container, including, for example, by centrifugation. Methods for collecting TILs are well known in the art. technique and any such known methods may be employed with the present process. In some embodiments, TILs are collected using an automated system. In some embodiments, TILs are collected using a semi-automated system.

Example 1 - Expansion of TILs from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma TILs were expanded from five non-Hodgkin lymphoma tumors (one mantle cell lymphoma tumor, three follicular lymphoma tumors, and one ABC-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumor) with the pathologies given in Figure 1, using IL-2 for 11 to 14 days in a pre-REP stage, followed by subsequent REP for 14 days using IL-2, mitogenic anti-CD3 antibody, and irradiated allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) feeder cells. TILs were excessively generated from all 5 lymphoma tumors with a maximal expansion rate of 680-fold, significantly higher than previously observed using other methods. Schwart-zentruber, et al., Blood 1993, 82, 1204-1211. Furthermore, the median CD3* T cell population was 95% (versus 75% using the method of Schwartzentruber, et al., Blaoá 1993, 82, 1204-1211). Cell sorting and flow cytometry were performed using a Becton, Dickinson & Co. (BD) FACS CANTO II system. A marked relative increase in effector memory cells that was comparable to that in melanoma TILs was observed by flow cytometric analysis (Figure .2). A significant increase in CD45R?V effector memory cells (TEMRA) (p~0.001 .3; CD4, CD-8) and CD28+CD4+ subsets (p~0.008) was observed in lymphoma compared to TIL from melanoma cultures (Figure 3). Comparisons of phenotypic markers of T cell differentiation into CD4* and CD8* subsets are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. Comparisons of phenotypic markers of T cell depletion in CD4+ and CD8* subsets are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively. Figure 8 illustrates a comparison of cell types between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma TILs and melanoma TILs. An increased trend in the number of CD4* T cells in cells is shown in lymphoma TILs compared to me 1 anaine TILs. Figure 9 illustrates Bioluminescent Redirected Lysis Assay (BRLA) results. The minimal cytolytic activity of TIL measured by BRLA as LUso / lO* a. 4 hrs ranged from <1-6 LU50 and at 24hrs, 1-39 LUse in lymphoma TIL compared to melanoma TIL (11-75 Lülo, 4hrs). Figure 10 illustrates interferon-γ (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results for lymphoma TILs versus melanoma TILs. Comparable results are shown. Results from the ELIspot assay for lymphoma TILs are shown in Figure 1.1 and compared with results from the same assay for melanoma TILs in Figure 12. In the ELIspot assay, a wide range of IFN-γ production by TILs from lymphoma was observed after stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate IS-acetate / ionomycin, anti-CD3 antibody, or CD3 / CD28 / 4-1BB beads, and lFN-γ produced by some lymphoma TILs under these conditions was comparable with the IFN-γ produced by melanoma TILs. and in several cases, IFN-γ production in lymphoma TILs was much higher. Figure 13 illustrates the results of a NANOSTRING NCOUNTER analysis (Nanostring Technologi.es, Inc., Seattle, WA), showing that TILs from lymphoma express higher levels of RORC IL17A (TH17 phenotype) and GAT A3 (Th2 phenotype) compared with melanoma TILs. This finding is consistent with the observation that lymphoma-reactive T cells are primarily ΤΉ2 and TH17. Overall, the results provide evidence that TIL cell therapy can be used to treat patients with lymphoma. Example 2 - Renotypic and Functional Characterization of Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes (MIL) Growing from Bone Marrow of Patients with .AML.....and Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes (PBL) Growing from Peripheral Blood of Patients with AML Bone marrow samples, and as available a related blood sample, were obtained from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which includes patients pre-treated with at least three rounds of a regimen comprising ibrutinib (1 - [(3R)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-TH-pyrazolo[3(4-d]pyrimidin-l--yl]--1-piperidinyl]-2-p.ropen- l-one), accompanied by information about the patient's age, gender, stage, tumor type, cancer site, treatment history, a de-identified pathology report, and any molecular tests performed (e.g. , MSI expression, and Raf / Ras expression).The MILs: and PBLs were expanded using one of MIL Method 1, MIL Method 2, or MIL Method C 3, or PBL Method 1, PBL Method 2, or PBL Method 3, and the MILs and PBLs were phenotypically and functionally characterized. Figures 36Ά and 36B illustrate the expansion folds for MILs and PBLs. Figure 36A shows the fold expansion for 3 patients (MILI, MIL2, MIL3) and Figure 3 6B shows the fold expansion for the paired PBLs for patients 2 and 3 (PBL2, PBL3). MIL 1.1 was expanded using the MIL Method 1, the MILI. 2 was expanded using MIL Method 2, and MIL 1.3 was expanded using MIL Method 3, and PBLs were expanded using PBL Method 3. MILI expansion folds show 25 (MIL1.1), 50 (MILI.2 ) , and 75 (MILI. 3) times the increment for each sample within MILI. This preliminarily demonstrates that MIL Method 3 may be a preferred expansion method. The fold expansion data for MIL2 and M.IL3 appear poor, possibly due to low starting cell numbers. For comparison, the starting cell numbers for MILI patient sample 3 (MILI.3) was 138,000 cells, while the starting cell numbers for MIL2 and MIL 3 were 62,000 and 28,000, respectively. The PBL fold expansion shown in Figure 36B for MIL2 and MIL3 was approximately 10-fold and 40-fold, respectively, with similar starting cell numbers (338,000 for PBL2 and 336,000 for PBL3). Figures 3.7A and 37B illustrate the number of IFN-y producing cells for MILs (Figure 37A) and paired PBLs (Figure 37B). MILLI. 3, MIL2, and MIL3 show significant increases in IFN-γ secretion, indicating that MIL Method 3 is a preferred expansion method. Data for PBLs are inconclusive. Figures 38A--38F show subsets of TCRocp+ CD4+, and CD8+ for MILs and PBLs. Figures 3 8A and 38D show TCRab+ subsets for MTLs (Figure 38A) expanded using the 3 Methods (MILL 1, MIL 1.2, MIL 1.3) and for PBLs (Figure 38D) expanded using the PBL .Method 3. The data show that the TCRaPi subseries are at most 100% for all MILs and PBLs, indicating that the expansion process was successful in expanding almost all L-cells. Figures 38B and 38E show CD4 subsets that are decreased by MIL expanded by MIL Method 3 (which correlates with the increase in CD8 subsets in Figure 38C). The PBL data in Figures 38E and 38F appear consistent with the MILI data. 3. Figures 39A-39D and 4A-40D show data for CD4 subsets in MIL (Figures 39A-39D) and PBL (Figures 40A-40D). Figures 3 9A and 4 0A show data for (CCR7+ / CD45RA4) without pretreatment; Figures 39B and 4.0® show data for central memory (CM) T cells (CCR7+ / CD45RA-); Figures 3 9C and 4 0C show data for effector memory (EM) T cells (CCR7- / CD45RA-); and Figures 39D and 40D show data for terminally differentiated effector memory cells (TEMRA) (CCR7- / CD45RA+). All samples expanded using MIL Method 3 (MILI. 3.) and PBL Method 3 (PBL2 and PBL3) are consistent with the CD4 subsets in the comparator, melanoma TIL. Figures 41A-41D and 42A-42D show data for CD8 subsets in MIL (Figures 41A-41.D) and PBL (Figures 42A-42D). Figures 41A and 42A show data for (CCR+ / CD45Ra+) without pretreatment; Figures 41B and 42B show data for central memory (CM) T cells (CCR7+ / CD45RA-); Figures 41C and 42C show data for effector memory (EM) T cells (CCR7- / CD4SRA-); and Figures 4 ID and 42D show data for terminally differentiated effector memory cells (TEMRA) (CCR7- / CD45RA+). Samples expanded using the MIL Method 3 (MILI.3) are consistent with the CD4 subsets in the comparator, melanoma TIL. The data for PBL2 and PBL3- were used as a control. Figures 43A and 43B show data for CD4CD27 and CD8CD27 subsets for MILs (Figure 4.3A) and PBLs (Figure 43B). Figures 44A and 44B show data for CD4CD28 and CD8CD28 subsets for MILs (Figure 44A) and PBLs (Figure 44B). Data for PBLs are shown for day 0 and day 14 of the expansion process for each sample, compared to melanoma TIL. Data, for MILs are shown at day 0 and day 14 for MILI,3 only, compared to melanoma TIL. The CD'28 subsets in MIL and PBL are similar to melanoma TIL. Figures 45A and 4-5B depict a comparison of PD1+ cells within each of the CD4 and CD8 subsets for MILs (Figure 45A) and PBLs (Figure 45B). Figures 46A and 4.6B depict a comparison of LAG3 + cells within each of the CD4 and CD8 subsets for MILs (Figure 46A) and PBLs (Figure 46B). The data for both PD1+ and LAG.3+ show a substantial decrease in the MILI.3 sample during the. day of .0 measurement, while MILL 1 and MILI, 2 seem to trend towards an increase for both PD1 and LAG3 during the. day 0. PBL data was used as a control. Experiments in this Example demonstrate that MILs expanded with MIL Method 3 had higher fold expansion, were highly functional, had a higher proportion of CD8 subsets, and had fewer subsets of CD8 subsets. LAG3 + and PD1 + T cells. The data also shows that the memory substrings are similar to the TIL of I 1 axiom. The data also show that cryopreserved samples appear to have higher expansion times compared to fresh samples. Much of the data for the PSL samples appears to be inconclusive, probably based on the small sample size. Example 3 - Methods for Expanding TILs and Treating Cancers with Expanded TILs Bone marrow is obtained using needle aspiration. The bone marrow sample is aspirated into syringes containing heparin and stored overnight at room temperature. After storage, the contents of the syringes are combined together in a sterile container and tested for quality. Bone marrow is enriched for mononuclear cells (MKTCs) using lymphocyte separation medium (LSM) and centrifugation with a COPE Spectra. Cells on the gradient are harvested to 1st red blood cells and washed using HBSS. The MNCs are cryopreserved using a heta-starch-based cryoprotectant supplemented with 2% HSA and 5% DMSO, reserving some of the MNCs for quality control.The QC vial is thawed to determine the CD3+ and CD387138* cell content of the MNC product. The bone marrow is aspirated and fractionated on a density gradient of lymphocyte separation medium and the cells are harvested near the level of the red cell pellet. This fractionation method substantially removes red blood cells and neutrophils, providing nearly whole bone marrow. The resulting fractionated material is T cells and tumor cells. The bone marrow is Ficolled, and the TILs are expanded using methods known in the art and any method described herein. For example, an exemplary method for expanding TILs is depicted in Figure 14. An exemplary method for expanding TILs and treating a cancer patient with expanded TILs is shown in Figure 15. Example 4 - Phenotypic and Functional Characterization of Growth of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Tumors The goals of the experiments described in this example include determining whether TILs with therapeutic potential can be isolated and cultured from NHL tumors and comparing characteristics of TILs derived from NHL with melanoma-derived TIL. Materials and methods for removal and expansion of TILs in a patient are as described herein. Patient TILs were removed from a tumor suppressor microenvironment by surgical resection of a lesion, in this case, lymphatic tissue, TILs were expanded using the expansion process described herein to provide 109 to 1011 TILs. NHL-derived TILs (1 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), 3 follicular lymphoma (FL), 3 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)) were analyzed for differentiation markers against melanoma-derived TILs using flow cytometry. TILs were analyzed for anti-CD56, anti-TCRab, anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD27, and anti-CD2S antibodies. These antibodies were used as Differentiation Panel 1 (DF1). Anti-CD3, anti.-CD4, anti~CD9, anti-CD38, and anti-HLA-DR, anti-CCR7, and anti-CD'45RA antibodies were used as Differentiation Panel 2 (DF2). DF2 to identify the following T cell subsets: naïve (CCR* / CD45Ra+); central memory (CM) T cells (CCR7 + / CD45.RA-); effector memory (EM) T cells (CCR7- / CD45RA-); and terminally differentiated effector memory cells (TEMRA) (CCR7- / CD45RA+). Figures 16A-16D show CD4 and CD8 T cells in different cell subpopulations in different cancer types. Melanoma, mantle cell cancer types were tested. diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Figures 16A-16D generally demonstrate a tendency for lymphoma TILs to be more highly proliferative and thus have elevated anti-tumor activity - compared to melanoma TILs. Similarly, Figure 17B shows that lymphoma T cells expressing CD4 / CD8 have superior proliferative capacity than melanoma T cells expressing CD4 / CD28. Gamma interferon (IFNγ) production by TILs was measured by stimulating TILs with mAb-coated DynaBeads™ (CD3, CD28, and CD1.37), then using ELlspot™ (Immunospot CTL) and enumerated using 'Immunospot™ input analyzer S6f and also by ELISA using the ELISA DuoSet™ kit (R&D system following manufacturer's instructions). Figures 18A and 18B demonstrate that IFNγ production by NHL TILs and melanoma TILs are similar, indicating similar cytotoxicity functionality between the two types of TILs. The Utic potential of TILs was determined using Bioluminescent Redirected Lysis Assay (BRLA-j). Translucent P815 cells with lentiviral vector encoding eGFP and firefly luciferase were used as target cells. TILs and target cells were co-cultured for 4 hours / 24 hours. hours in the presence of 0KT3, Luciferin was then added and cells were incubated for 5 minutes. Bioluminescence was measured using a luminometer. Percent survival and percent cytotoxicity were calculated as follows: % Survival - (minimum experimental survival) / (maximum signal-minimum signal) x 100% cytotoxicity = 100 - (% survival). The Utic potential of TILs was expressed as a lib unit, LU&o, which represents 50 percent of target cell cytotoxicity induced by effector cells, TILs were tested for their tumor-killing ability in both autologous and allogeneic tumors. TILs were mixed with autologous lymphoma cells or allogeneic melanoma cell lines (.526 melanoma cell line) to different effector cells to target cell ratios (E:T ratio) -either 10:1, 20 :1, 50:1, or 100:1. Tumor cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet dye (ThermoFisher) prior to cutting. After 24 hours, cells were stained with 7-AAD to determine cell death. The proportion of tumor cells killed by TILs was represented as 7-AAD positive tumor cells that were collected in CellTrace Violet stain against CD19 for lymphoma cells and CellTrace Violet stain against MCSP for melanoma cells. Figures 19Ά and 19B show that .NHL TIL and melanoma TIL have similar cytotoxic functionality against both allogeneic and autologous tumors at 4 hours (Figure ISA) and 24 hours (Figure 19B). The analysis of the. Gene expression was also performed on the TILs using the Immunology V2 panel. 'Human nCounter GX (NanoString., Seattle). lOOng of total RNA were assayed per manufacturer's instructions. The data was normalized by scaling with geometric mean of the construct control gene probes for each sample. Data was mapped against and matched to melanoma gene expression. Figure 21 demonstrates the results of gene expression analysis. The heat map shows the fold change in gene expression on melanoma TILs. The expression of IL17A and RORC from lymphoma-derived TILs. it has superior expression compared to melanoma-derived TILs. Overall, the results of this experiment demonstrate that the functional characteristics of lymphoma-derived TILs are similar to melanoma-derived TILs, indicating that the use of lymphoma-derived TILs may be successful in treating lymphoma cancers. Example 5 - Phenotypic and Functional Characterization of Growth of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes_(PBLs) from Peripheral Blood of Patients........with____Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia__(CLL) PBMCs were collected from patients with CLL pre- and post-treatment with three rounds of ibrutinib. T cells were expanded using three different Methods, PBL Method 1, PBL Method 2, and PBL Method 3, as described in Figures 24A-24C and elsewhere herein. Certain samples were derived from fresh PBMCs and certain samples were derived from cryopreserved PBMCs. Once the cells were expanded and harvested, they were phenotyped and functionally characterized using the methods described in Example 4, above, and elsewhere herein. The goals of this Example were to determine an optimal expansion process for PBLs and to determine if PBLs expanded from ibrutinib-treated samples are more potent than PBLs expanded from untreated samples. The PBL expansion folds are shown in the Figure. 26. Results are shown for PBLs expanded using .PBL Method 1, PBL Method 2, and PBL Method 3. Untreated PBLs (PreRx PBL) show a mean 179-fold expansion and ibrutinib-treated PBLs (PostRx PBL ) show a mean 306-fold expansion. PBLs derived from fresh PBMC (PBL) show only an average of 82-fold expansion. As between PBLs and PostRx PBLs, p=0.006. Like between PBLs and PreRx PBLs, p=0.3, and like between PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs, p=0.1. In general, an increase in mean fold expansion is observed for all PostRx PBL groups over all groups in both PBLs and PreRx PBLs. Figure 27 demonstrates Interferon-gamma (IFN~v) producing cells in PBL, PreRx PBL, and PostRx PBL. For PBL, the mean number of IFN-γ-producing cells was approximately 1,864. For PreRx PBL, the mean number of IFN-γ-producing cells was approximately 7,530, and for PostRx PBL, the mean number of IFN-γ-producing cells was approximately 7,530. was approximately 11984. As between PBLs and PostRx PBLs, p-0,Q06. As between PBLs and PreRx PBLs, p=0.006, and as between PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs, p^0.01. In general, a significant increase in the mean number of IFN-y producing cells is observed for all PostRx PBL groups over all groups in both PreRx PBLs and PBLs. The -phenotypic characterization. was performed on each of the samples. The. Figure 2-8 depicts the ratio of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets in PBL PreRx and PBL PostRx, and uses melanoma TIL as a comparator. Here, the data shows that the CD4 subsets (shown on the left) were comparable between both PBL PreRex and PBL PostRx, with respect to which method was used to expand the cells. CD4 subsets in PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs are shown to be superior to melanoma TILs (p=0.0006 for each, one). The CD'8 subsets (shown on the right) were inferior in both PBL PreRx and PBL PostRX, relative to the process used to expand the cells. CD8 subsets in PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs are shown to be lower than melanoma TILs (ρ^Ο,-0006 for each). It is hypothesized that the lower CD8 subsets are only a derivative of the cancer type (ie, in CLL·, CD4 subsets are typically expanded). Figures 29A-29D depict a comparison between CD4 memory subsets of PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs, using melanoma TIL as a comparator. Figure 29A shows data for (CCR7+ / CD'45.RA+j: naïve; Figure 29B shows data for central memory (CM) T-cell (CCR7+ / CD45RA-); Figure 29C shows data for for effector memory (EM) T cells (CCR7- / .CD45RA-), and Figure 29D shows data for terminally differentiated memory (TEMRA) cells (CCR7-- / CD4.5RA+). demonstrate that the CD4 memory subsets for PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs are comparable to those seen for melanoma TILs. Figures 30A-30D depict a comparison between CD8 memory subset of PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs, using melanoma TIL as a comparator. Figure 30A shows data for (CCR7+ / CD45RA+) naïve; Figure 30B shows data for central memory (CM) T cells (CCR7-J- / C.D45RA-·); Figure 3 0C shows data for effector memory T cells (ΈΜ) (CCR7- / CD45RA-); and Figure 30D shows data for terminally differentiated memory cells (TEMRA) (CCR7- / CD45RA+). The Figures 30A--30D demonstrate that the CD8 memory subsets for PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs are comparable to those seen for melanoma TILs. Figures 3ΊΑ and 3IB depict a comparison of CD27 subsets of CD4 cells (FIG. 31A) and CD8 cells (FIG. 3IB'), using melanoma TIL as a comparator. CD4CD27 cell subsets were significantly superior in both PBL PreRx (p-0.03) and PBL PostRx (p=0.02) compared to melanoma TIL. The CD8CD27 cell subsets were significantly superior in both PBL PreRx (p=Q.002) and PBL PostRx (p^0.001) compared to melanoma TIL. Figures 32A and 32B' depict a comparison of CD28 subsets of CD4 cells (FIG. 32A) and CD8 cells (FIG. 32B), using melanoma TIL as a comparator. As CD4CD28 cell subsets and CD8CD2.8 cell subsets are shown to be comparable for both the PBL. PreRx as PBL PostRx compared with melanoma TIL. Figures 33A. and 33B depict a comparison of LAG.3 + subsets within the CD4 + (FIG. 33A) and CD8 + (FIG. 33B) populations for PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs. The data show a significant mean decrease in LAG3-+ subsets in both CD4+ (p-0.06) and CD8+ (p-G. 01.) populations in PostRx PBLs. Figures 34A and 34B represent one. comparison of PD1+ subsets within the CD4+ (FIG. 34A) and CD8+ (FIG. 34B) populations for PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs. The data show a mean decrease in PD14-subsets in both CD4+ and CD8+ populations in the PostRx PBLs, but the decrease was not significant. Figures 35A and 35B show the results of the cytolytic activity of PreRx PBLs (Figure 3.5-A) and PostRx PBLs (Figure 35Β), measured using a Bioluminescent Redirected Lysis Assay (BRLA). The assay was performed using the CellTrace™ Violet Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen) as follows: Effector cells, which are the PBLs, were labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSS). Target cells (autologous CD19+ tumor cells) were incubated with Mitamycin C, and then labeled with CellTrace™ Violet (CTV) according to the CellTrace Violet Cell Proliferation Kit instructions. Effector and target cells were incubated for 24 hours at ratios of 2:1, 5:1, and 20::1 (cells were added, cells were stained with Annexin V-PI, and then analyzed). to determine GTV / Annexin-V PI+ cells (which gives the number of dead cells) PostRx PBLs appear to be more potent because fewer cells are required to kill 50% of target tumor cells (i.e., LÜsc is lower for PostRx PBLs than for PreRx PBLs). The experiments performed in this example demonstrate the following results. PBLs .expanded from fresh FLC PBMCs show lower fold expansion and significantly less IFN-γ production compared to PBLs expanded from cryopreserved PBMCs (PBLs PreRx and PBLs PostRx); PostRx PBLs consistently showed higher fold expansion and significant increase in ΙΕΝ-γ production compared to PreRx PBLs; and both PreRx PBLs and PostRx PBLs showed lytic activity against autologous tumor cells (CD15+), although PostRx PBLs have a lower LU50 than PreRx PBLs.
