TIL Therapy Development & GMP Manufacturing

Your TIL therapy program is advancing. The manufacturing challenge is delivering autologous, patient-specific production with the speed, precision, and GMP compliance that personalized cell therapy demands — every batch, every patient.

Iovance's Amtagvi (lifileucel) FDA approval validated TIL as a therapeutic modality. The next wave of TIL programs — 11 developers, 8 clinical stage — needs manufacturing infrastructure to match. Made Scientific partners with TIL therapy developers to deliver autologous manufacturing from fresh tumor processing through rapid expansion and patient infusion, all within the 14–22 day vein-to-vein window.

  • • Fresh tumor receipt & GMP processing
  • • TIL isolation & initial expansion
  • • Rapid Expansion Protocol (REP) optimization
  • • GMP manufacturing (clinical & commercial)
  • • Rapid-release QC testing & batch release
  • • Regulatory support & IND-enabling packages

  • • Throughput and capacity planning
  • • Commercial readiness assessment

Every batch is a patient

TIL manufacturing is uniquely complex. Fresh tumor specimens arrive with a ticking clock — the manufacturing window is measured in days, not weeks. Every batch is patient-specific, with biological variability built into the starting material.

The Amtagvi approval validated TIL therapy as a modality. But commercial-scale TIL manufacturing — with consistent expansion, rapid turnaround, and reproducible quality — is the next bottleneck the industry must solve.

Discuss your TIL program

Fresh tumor receipt & processing

Rapid processing of surgical tumor specimens under GMP conditions. Time-critical — manufacturing begins within hours of receipt.

TIL isolation & initial expansion

Fragment-based or enzymatic digestion for TIL isolation, followed by IL-2-driven initial expansion to identify and select reactive TIL populations.

Rapid Expansion Protocol (REP)

Scale TILs from millions to billions in 14 days using anti-CD3, IL-2, and irradiated feeder cells. The critical step that determines clinical dose.

Harvest, formulation & QC release

Cell harvest, wash, formulation for infusion, and rapid QC release — sterility, viability, identity, potency — all within the vein-to-vein window.

Patient coordination & delivery

Tight coordination between manufacturing site, clinical site, and logistics — the patient's lymphodepletion schedule must align with manufacturing completion.
