Processes for production of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and uses of same in immunotherapy

Abstract:

The present invention provides improved and/or shortened methods for expanding TLs 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 TLs in a shorter time period, while allowing for reduced microbial contamination as well as decreased costs. Such TLs find use in therapeutic treatment regimens.
