  • Note: if treatment failure occurs during adjuvant therapy or within 6 months of adjuvant therapy completion, this will count as a failure of the applicable regimen as noted above.
  • Any systemic therapy, including anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies, must have been completed at least 4 weeks from the start of lymphodepleting therapy (except for bridging therapy as defined below), and any prior therapy-related AEs must have resolved to Grade ≤ 1 except for alopecia and vitiligo. Neuropathy must have resolved to Grade ≤ 2.
  • Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 75 years old. Additionally, participants who are ≥ 60 years of age must undergo a cardiology evaluation including a cardiac stress test after which they must be deemed to be low/acceptable risk.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  • Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcL (non-growth factor supported)
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mcL
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
  • AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3 times the institutional ULN; ≤ 5 times ULN if patient has liver metastasis
  • Cockcroft-Gault estimated GFR ≥ 50 mL/min (creatinine)
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome where the bilirubin must be ≤ 3 mg/dL)
  • Seronegative for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, and hepatitis C (HCV) antibody (if HCV antibody positive, must be tested for HCV RNA, which must be negative to be eligible)
  • Participants with brain metastases are eligible provided that the brain metastases have been successfully treated with stereotactic radiosurgery or resection and clinically stable for at least 1 month.
  • Participants who have not undergone prior TIL harvest (i.e., the patient was not enrolled in the Banked TIL protocol MCC# <TBD>) must have at least 1 cm of tumor amenable for resection for TIL generation, in addition to, having at least one target lesion that can be used for response assessment by RECIST 1.1 criteria after TIL harvest.
  • Participants who have undergone prior TIL harvest with the banking protocol (MCC# <TBD>) must have adequate numbers of cryopreserved TIL after the pre-REP to meet criteria for proceeding with TBio-4101 therapy.
  • Participants must be willing and able to undergo an apheresis procedure
  • Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
  • The effects of TBio-4101 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because TIL agents, as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial including IL-2 are known to be teratogenic, both males and females of child-bearing potential must be willing to practice birth control starting with screening through 1 year after the last study drug is administered for females or 6 months for males. Note: Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.
  • Contraception requirement:
  • To prevent pregnancy, patients who are able to conceive or father children must use a highly effective contraception method during sexual activity starting with Screening through 1 year after the last study drug is administered for females or 6 months for males.
  • Based on their mechanisms of action, the NMA-LD chemotherapy, aldesleukin (IL-2), can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Effects of TBio-4101 on fetal development are unknown.
  • Definition of Non-Reproductive Potential: For this trial, male patients will be considered to be of non-reproductive potential if they have azoospermia (whether due to having had a vasectomy or due to an underlying medical condition). Female patients will be considered of non-reproductive potential if they are either: (a) postmenopausal (defined as at least 12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause; in women < 45 years of age, a high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. In the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single follicle FSHH measurement is insufficient); (b) Or have had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, at least 6 weeks prior to screening; (c) Or has a congenital or acquired condition that prevents childbearing.
  • Definition of Highly Effective Contraception: The following are examples of acceptable contraception methods to prevent pregnancy. This list may not be comprehensive for all regions, so the Investigator must discuss sexual activity and contraception usage with the patient. Hormonal contraceptive: oral contraceptive pill (estrogen/progestin pill or progestin-only pill), contraceptive skin patch, vaginal contraceptive ring, or subcutaneous contraceptive injection, Intrauterine device (IUD), Intrauterine hormone releasing system (IUS), Bilateral tubal occlusion, Vasectomized partner.
  • Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner are participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Participants, regardless of age, who have a current or past medical history of ischemic heart disease, or clinically significant atrial or ventricular rhythm abnormality are excluded unless they undergo a cardiac stress test and cardiology clearance examination and are determined to be low or acceptable risk.
  • Note: Participants with any clinically significant cardiac wall movement abnormality are excluded.
  • Participants who have received prior cell therapy.
  • Participants with either a primary immunodeficiency disorder (i.e., severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome) or acquired immunodeficiency disorders (such as HIV/AIDS)
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the agents used in this study have teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with TBio-4101 or the other agents in the study, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is enrolled in the study.
  • Participants taking systemic steroid therapy (other than replacement therapy) or therapy with any immunosuppressive medications such as mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Participants who require dapsone for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis during TIL therapy are eligible.

  • Participants with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45% or New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification > 1
  • Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≤ 60% of predicted value and DLCO (corrected) < 60% of predicted value
  • Participants who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have a medical condition that would subject the patient to prohibitive risk by participation in this study, or who may be unable to safely complete the apheresis, tumor harvest, lymphodepletion regimen, TIL infusion, or aldesleukin/ IL-2 administration
  • Participants with active infections requiring parenteral antibiotics
  • Participants with autoimmune disease currently or within the past 6 months requiring systemic treatment with immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids (>10 mg of prednisone-equivalent daily dosing), immunosuppressive biologic agents, or disease modifying antirheumatic drug agents (DMARDs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TBio-4101, Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine in people with Metastatic Melanoma and Unresectable Melanoma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants that Successfully Receive TBio-4101 (time frame: Day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
