Patients who have received bridging therapy between time of TIL harvest and initiation of lymphodepletion must meet all required clinical, laboratory and imaging criteria in order to qualify for therapy initiation. 12. Lesions amenable to radiotherapy or palliative radiotherapy (e.g.- bone metastases or metastases causing nerve impingement) should be treated > 4 weeks prior to enrollment and subjects must be fully recovered from the effects of radiation. However, palliative radiation is permitted if subjects recover from all side effects to ≤ Grade 1 toxicities (based on CTCAE, v.5) and is > 2 weeks prior to starting lymphodepletion.

Exclusion Criteria:
