HS-IT101 Injection Versus Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Advanced Melanoma
90 participantsStarted 2026-02-26
Plain-language summary
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label Phase II clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HS-IT101 Injection versus the investigator's choice of chemotherapy in participants with advanced melanoma. A total of 90 participants are planned to be enrolled, and eligible participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or control group at a 1:1 ratio. The experimental group will receive a single administration of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, while the control group will receive chemotherapy regimens selected by the research physicians. Efficacy and safety evaluations will be conducted for all enrolled participants throughout the study.

Inclusion criteria

. Disease Progression Following Anti-PD-1 Therapy.
. At least one tumor lesion not treated with radiotherapy or other local therapies within 28 days prior to resection, suitable for autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) preparation, with a minimum tissue weight of ≥0.050 g.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

. Adequate organ and bone marrow function as confirmed by screening assessments.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis) to any component of the following agents.
. Presence of any uncontrolled clinical conditions, including but not limited to:
. History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE); myocardial infarction; severe or unstable arrhythmia or angina; percutaneous coronary intervention, acute coronary syndrome, or coronary artery bypass grafting; cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or cerebral embolism within the past 6 months.
. Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic therapy during the study period（Subjects with the following conditions may be enrolled：Eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia, or Graves' disease not requiring systemic therapy within the last 2 years and not expected to recur, or other autoimmune diseases under stable control;Hypothyroidism requiring only thyroid hormone replacement;Type 1 diabetes requiring only insulin replacement therapy.）
. Organ transplant or history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
. Use of systemic immunosuppressive agents (e.g., corticosteroids) within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or presence of comorbid conditions requiring such medications during the trial period.Exception: Intranasal or topical corticosteroids are permitted.
. Receipt of systemic anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to randomization, or planned participation in another interventional clinical trial during the study period.
