Iovance's new cell therapy is expected to be available next year for treatment of advanced cervical cancer

Iovance's innovative cell therapy is based on the patient's own TILThese TTs migrate to the tumor when the cancer occurs and attack the tumorHowever, usually the number of TTs in the patient is not sufficient to destroy the tumor, and the tumor microenvironment inhibits the function of TILIovance's T-cell cancer immunotherapy takes tumor tissue from the patient and extracts the TIL, which is then used in vitro to stimulate TIL amplification using IL-2 cytokineThis in vitro stimulation not only increases the number of TILs, but also activates TIL's anti-tumor abilityThese TIs are then injected back into the patient to kill tumor cells more effectivelyLN-145 TIL Therapy Mechanism (Photo: Iovance BiotherapeuticsThese patients received an average of 2.4 pre-treatmentsIt is worth noting that at the median follow-up period of 7.4 months, the symptoms of 10 patients were continuously alleviated and the median response duration was not yet reachedbased on this remarkable result, the FDA granted the LN-145 Breakthrough Therapy DesignationIt was followed by the announcement of Iovance's expansion of its partnership with WuXi Advanced Therapeutics to meet the clinical trial needs of this breakthrough cell therapy" the fda's latest feedback is very encouraging, and the ability to use data from ongoing clinical studies, as well as the recent grant of the Breakthrough Therapy to LN-145, will greatly speed up our submission to the BLA processDrMaria Fardis, President and CEO of Iovance, saidIovance plans to recruit 75-100 patients in the innovaTIL-04 clinical trial to support the BLA for LN-145references;s1 s Emboldened by ASCO data, FDA etches speedy approval path for Iovance's cervical cancer therapy Retrieved July 2, 2019, from https://endpts.com/emboldened-by-asco-data-fda-etches-speedy-approval-path-for-iovances-cervical-cancer-therapy/ Retrieved July 2, 2019, from http://ir.iovance.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=254507&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2402832
