NCT04027946
Background: Over 230,000 new lung cancer cases are diagnosed every year in the United States (U.S.) About 80% of lung cancers are non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most people have a more advanced stage of the disease that doesn't respond well to standard treatment. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs may be able to help. Objective: To find out if LMB-100 followed by pembrolizumab can help tumors to shrink in people with NSCLC. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with NSCLC that has not responded to standard therapies Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Tumor sample. If one is not available, they will have a biopsy. * Assessments of ability to perform normal activities * Lung function tests * Blood, heart, and urine tests * Computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET). They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Participants will take LMB-100 in 21-day cycles for up to 2 cycles. They will take the drug by injection into an arm vein on days 1, 3, and 5 of each cycle. They will stay in the hospital 7-10 days each cycle. Then they will get pembrolizumab by injection into an arm vein every 3 weeks for up to 2 years. They may be able to take pembrolizumab an additional year if their cancer gets worse. Participants will have repeats of the screening tests throughout the study. About 30 days and 90 days after they stop treatment, participants will have follow-up visits. Then they will have visits every 6-12 weeks. They will be followed for the rest of their life through phone calls and emails.
NCT04102436
Background: A person s white blood cells can be modified in a lab to recognize certain changes in their tumor. Many of these cells are collected from the person, modified, then given back to the person. This may help treat some cancers. Objective: To learn if a person s white blood cells modified with T-cell receptors can cause solid tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18-70 who have cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, ovary, breast, or lung that has spread, or who have glioblastoma. Design: Participants will be screened and have their cells prepared for treatment in another protocol. Participants will be hospitalized one week before treatment. They will stay approximately 3 - 4 weeks after treatment. Participants will get the modified white blood cells and chemotherapy through an IV catheter, which is a small plastic tube inserted in a vein. Participants will take drugs by mouth to prevent infection. They will receive filgrastim as a shot or injection under the skin. Participants will have tests before, during, and after treatment: Heart, blood, and urine tests Chest X-ray Physical exam Scans: They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Possible apheresis: The participant s blood is removed through a needle in an arm. The blood goes through a machine that removes the white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned through a needle in the other arm. Participants will have visits about 6 and 12 weeks after treatment. If they are responding to treatment, they will then have visits every 3-6 months for 3 years. Then they will join another study and be followed about 12 more years.
