TIL are part of the immune system. They are naturally occurring white blood cells that can recognize and destroy cancer cells.1
In TIL therapy, TIL are removed from a patient’s tumor, amplified and rejuvenated in a laboratory, and then reinfused into the patient to help the immune system recognize and destroy the cancer cells.1
All participants in the LUN-202 trial receive active treatment (there is no placebo arm). Study medication and study-related care are provided at no cost.
