Gene Therapy Clinical Trials
Screening Protocol for Tumor Antigen Expression Profiling and HLA Typing for Eligibility Determination
This screening study is intended for men and women ≥ 18 to ≤ 75 years of age who have advanced solid or hematologic malignancy. The study will assess a subject's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) subtype and tumor antigen expression profile. Based on the results, it will be determined if a subject is eligible to be considered for Adaptimmune sponsored clinical trials testing the safety and efficacy of genetically changed T cells targeting specific tumor antigens. No treatment intervention will occur as part of this screening study.
Upon enrollment, subjects will be required to provide a blood sample for HLA subtype analysis. If the results of the analysis match the HLA-A subtypes noted in the inclusion criteria and do not express the HLA subtypes that are exclusionary for the available interventional clinical trial(s), then the subject will be required to provide either an archival tumor specimen or fresh tumor tissue biopsy. The tumor specimen will be screened at a central laboratory for the expression (protein or gene) of multiple antigens which may include, but are not limited to MAGE-A4. Based upon the results of these diagnostic analyses, if eligible, subjects will be referred to an appropriate available interventional clinical trial(s) at the discretion of the Investigator.
Following screening, tumor samples will be retained by Adaptimmune for the purpose of developing and validating in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay(s) for antigen expression profiling which is required for regulatory approval of a new therapeutic product indication.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria
1. Signed written informed consent;
2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid or hematologic
malignancy or recurrent disease, as described in the respective Adaptimmune clinical
treatment protocol (including, but not limited to myeloma, melanoma, NSCLC, head and
neck, gastric and bladder cancer);
3. Male or female ≥ 18 to ≤75 years of age;
4. Life expectancy > 3 months;
5. Ability to provide a blood sample;
6. Ability to provide one of the following tumor tissue samples:
i. formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block or tissue sections from a
current lesion/the most current setting, OR
ii. a fresh biopsy is feasible, OR;
iii. a FFPE archival primary tumor block or tissue sections
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Any bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, which at the discretion of the Investigator
may put the subject at risk.
2. Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder or other
conditions that could interfere with subject's safety, obtaining informed consent or
compliance to the screening study procedures.
