Study Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of gene-modified immune cells (FH-MCVA2TCR) and to see how well they work in treating patients with Merkel cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into immune cells may improve the body's ability to fight Merkel cell cancer.

Primary Outcome

Assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0. Evidence of excessive toxicity will be an observed proportion of toxicities for which the associated lower 80% confidence limit exceeds 40%.
