Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for CD8+ T Cell Therapy and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Gastrointestinal Tumors

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase I pilot trial studies the side effects of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)+ T cells in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tumor cells and blood are used to help create an adoptive T cell therapy, such as CD8+ T cell therapy, that is individually designed for a patient and may help doctors learn more about genetic changes in the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CD8+ T cell therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety of using a personalized adoptive T cell therapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the persistence of an immune response after T cell infusion. II. Determine the clinical benefit of adoptive T cell therapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancers. OUTLINE: Beginning 2 days prior to CD8+ T cell infusion, patients receive cyclophosphamide intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes. Patients undergo CD8+ T cell infusion IV over 2 hours on day 0 and receive aldesleukin subcutaneously (SC) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14. Beginning on day 1 about 24 hours after CD8+ T cell infusion, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on weeks 3, 6, 12, and 15. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 24 weeks.
