PICSTAT Pilot Study for CD8 PET/CT-Guided Lifileucel Treatment in Advanced Melanoma (NCT07700121)
PICSTAT (PET Imaging of CD8 for Selection of Tumors for Autologous TIL): A Pilot Study Assessing the Use of CD8 PET/CT (Zr-89 Crefmirlimab Berdoxam) to Enhance Lifileucel (AMTAGVI) Efficacy in Patients With Treatment Refractory Stage IV Melanoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This prospective, single-center pilot study is being performed to find out whether Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam "CD8 PET/CT" scans can improve the effectiveness of the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy called lifileucel ("Study Treatment") in treating metastatic melanoma. Participants must first provide consent to the companion protocol (UPCC 19426, PICSTAT CD8 PET) before being eligible to consent to this protocol.
