After multidisciplinary review, he underwent TIL harvest followed by lymphodepleting chemotherapy, lifileucel infusion, and high-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2)...This case demonstrates that TIL therapy can be feasibly administered to a patient with well-controlled HIV, with manageable toxicity and early radiographic response. These findings underscore the need for prospective inclusion of people living with HIV in cellular therapy trials to better characterize safety, immune dynamics, and predictors of durable benefit.

The recent US FDA approvals of lifileucel (a TIL therapy for advanced melanoma) and afamitresgene autoleucel (a TCR therapy targeting MAGE-A4 in synovial sarcoma) mark the first regulatory recognition of cell therapies for solid tumours and signal a new era for oncology...Emphasis is placed on emerging innovations like gene-edited and allogeneic therapies, as well as future directions for integrating cell therapies into mainstream oncology. We conclude with recommendations for overcoming barriers related to cost, toxicity management, and equitable access across Europe.

Our institutional real-world data show that only about half of TIL therapy referrals will proceed with the actual TIL infusions. While TIL therapy seeks to achieve the approximately 32% response rate observed in the registrational trial, real-world outcomes in an intent-to-treat population are anticipated to be inferior. Advanced melanoma affords a narrow time window from referral to completion of TIL manufacturing and infusion, necessitating efficient workflows to enable early treatment and optimize patient outcomes.

All individuals received cyclophosphamide/fludarabine lymphodepletion, lifileucel, and 6 or fewer IL-2 infusions. In this cohort study, lifileucel treatment was frequently complicated by purpuric morbilliform eruptions, which were prognostically favorable and associated with short-term response. The lifileucel-associated eruption may be a peritreatment efficacy marker, assessable during the TIL treatment hospitalization prior to traditional 42-day restaging.
