The University of Virginia is participating a clinical research study for adults ages 18 and over, who have cervical cancer that has come back after treatment (recurrent), has spread to other organs (metastatic) or has not improved (persistent) after the previous treatment. The purpose of this study is to find out:
* If an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) called LN-145 (referred to as “investigational product”), autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) derived from the patient’s own tumor when given as a single therapy is safe and beneficial in the treatment of patients with cervical cancer when previous treatment has not worked.
Participants in the study will be enrolled into one of the following cohorts:
* Cohort 2: If you have previously received immunotherapy (e.g., PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor such as Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab, Atezolizumab) for your cancer, you will be enrolled in Cohort 2 and you will receive LN-145 therapy. Approximately 75 patients will be enrolled in this cohort.
* Cohort 5 (Retreatment): You may receive a second treatment of LN-145 therapy alone, if needed.

Study-related procedures that are being done beyond your standard of care will be provided at no cost to you or your insurance.
