The objective was to evaluate the toxicity and feasibility of intraperitoneal (IP) infusion of tumor-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) as therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer, and to determine if repetitive cycles of CTL generation and infusion measurably increases the host’s ovarian cancer immune response. In this study, seven subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer confined to the peritoneal cavity underwent up to 4 cycles, each cycle beginning with a leukapheresis for collection of precursor lymphocytes, which were stimulated in vitro with MUC1, a tumor-specific antigen found commonly in ovarian cancer cells. The resulting new CTL for each cycle were re-introduced into the host via IP infusion. Immunological parameters (killer cells, cytokine production, memory T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells) were studied. Toxicity, CA-125, and survival data were also evaluated. The tumor marker CA-125 was non statistically significantly reduced after the first month of immunotherapy. However, after that, it rose. Killer cells, cytokine production and memory T-lymphocytes increased after the first cycle of stimulation, but plateaued or reduced thereafter. The percent of NK cells inversely correlated with other immune parameters. Median survival was 11.5 months. One subject is free of disease since December, 2000. Multiple cycles, beyond one cycle, of T-cell stimulation followed by adoptive T cell infusion, may not enhance the in vivo immune response.
