This is a phase I clinical study for patients with platinum-resistant (does not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy) high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Prior to the main treatment, patients will receive cyclophosphamide by vein. Patients will then receive an infusion (given by vein) of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) which will first be taken from the patient, then be stimulated with certain substances called autologous dendritic cells (DCs) and OKT3 (anti-CD3 antibody), and then given back to the patient as an infusion. This is believed to make the TILs work better. TILs are a type of white blood cells that recognizes tumor cells and enter them which causes the tumor cells to break down. After infusion of TILs, low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy will be given.
