Complete metabolic response as early predictor of long-term efficacy after adoptive T cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes by Rikke Andersen, Troels Holz Borch, Eva Ellebaek, Inge Marie Svane, Helle Westergren Hendel, Kasper Madsen

“…Neither mOS (range 32.2–149.8+) nor median progression-free survival (mPFS; range 20.7–123.4+) were reached for patients with partial response (PR)/CMR (10 patients), whereas patients with PR/non-CMR (12 patients) had a mOS of 28.7 months (p=0.0016) and a mPFS of 7.8 months (p<0.0001).Overall, not achieving a CMR was associated with a short mPFS of 3.2 months, and 97.9% (47/48) of all patients in this group progressed within 12 months.Conclusion: In conclusion, early CMR is a strong predictor of long-term survival after TIL therapy in metastatic melanoma patients. …”
