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. Such TILs find use in therapeutic treatment regimens.

Abstract: A gas permeable cell culture device including a container body defining an interior volume, the container body having a semi-permeable membrane defining one end of the interior volume, a fitting defining an opposing end of the interior volume, and a cell transfer conduit. The cell transfer conduit having an open end positioned within the interior volume between the semi-permeable membrane and the fitting and a radial portion disposed within the interior volume and between the open end and opposing end of the container body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for expanding TILs from tumor tissue using a long first expansion process and a shorter second expansion process. A method for expanding TIL includes obtaining a first population of TILs from a tumor resected from a subject, performing a first expansion for a period of about 21 day to about 35 days by culturing the first population of TILs in a cell culture medium comprising 4-1BB agonist, IL-2, and OKT-3 to produce a second population of TILs, and performing a second expansion for a period of about 7 days to about 10 days by supplementing the cell culture medium of the second population of TILs with antigen presenting cells (APCs) and additional 4-1BB agonist, IL-2, and OKT-3, and culturing to produce a third population of TILs, wherein the third population of TILs is a therapeutic population of TILs.
