  • Publication number: 20220193131
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved and/or shortened methods for expanding TILs and producing therapeutic populations of TILs, including novel methods for expanding TIL populations in a closed system that lead to improved efficacy, improved phenotype, and increased metabolic health of the TILs in a shorter time period, while allowing for reduced microbial contamination as well as decreased costs. Methods of expanding TILs expressing orthogonal cytokine receptors are provided. Such TILs find use in therapeutic treatment regimens.

  • Publication number: 20210369775
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for determining and predicting the effect of providing a population of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on a condition associated with an entity, for example the effect of providing a population of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on a subject having cancer. The systems and methods rely on acquiring a computer readable analytical signature from a sample of the entity, obtaining a trained model output value for the entity by inputting the computer readable analytical signature into a tier trained model panel, and classifying the entity based upon the trained model output value with a time-to-event class in an enumerated set of time-to-event classes, each of whom is associated with a different effect of providing a population of TILs to the entity.
