Official title
A Single-Center, Prospective Pilot Trial of Circadian-Optimized Light Therapy (COLT) in Patients Undergoing Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase I trial tests the effect of Circadian-Optimized Light Therapy (COLT) in conjunction with standard of care tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy in treating patients with melanoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes or distant parts of the body (advanced). Circadian rhythm is the body's natural 24 hour clock which helps keep the body operating on a healthy wake-sleep cycle. Exposure to morning light has been shown to have a positive impact. Patients with advanced cancers often experience circadian disruption, including exposure to hospital-related light, treatment side effects, and inflammation. TIL are made by collecting and growing specialized T cells (a type of white blood cell) from a patient's tumor and given back to the patient to help stimulate the immune system in different ways to stop tumor cells from growing. However, disruptions in the circadian rhythm may impact the effectiveness of TIL therapy. COLT is a home-based digital intervention that delivers circadian-effective morning light using the Circadian OS iPad application. Daily light exposure may help prevent circadian disruption and improve immune and inflammatory responses. Adding COLT sessions to standard of care therapy with TIL may be safe and tolerable in patients with advanced melanoma.
