FDA approves lifileucel, the first tumor-derived T-cell therapy, for advanced melanoma

Regulatory status: FDA ApprovedEvidence stage: Later-Stage Human
Cancer type
Melanoma / Skin Cancer
Population
Adults with unresectable or metastatic melanoma previously treated with a PD-1-blocking antibody and, if BRAF V600-positive, a BRAF inhibitor with or without a MEK inhibitor, given a one-time infusion of lifileucel. The FDA's accelerated approval rested specifically on the 73-patient efficacy-evaluable subset of cohort 4 in the single-arm, open-label, multicohort C-144-01 trial; a separately published pooled analysis combining cohorts 2 and 4 (153 patients total) reported a consistent objective response rate.

Indication
Prevention of cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers and precancerous/dysplastic lesions caused by specific HPV types (Gardasil 9's original approved indication) -- cited as evidence the underlying vaccine family is licensed and non-investigational, NOT as an FDA review of the England mortality analysis this record reports.
Decision date
2014-12-10
Access notes
Cited for regulatory-status context only -- this record's actual claims are about a separate, later England-specific mortality analysis, not this original US approval.
