A Randomized, Intra-patient Crossover, Safety, Biomarker and Anti-Tumor Activity Assessment of the Combination of Atezolizumab and Vigil in Patients With Advanced Gynecological Cancers

This is a 3-part safety study of Vigil, Atezolizumab and their combination in patients who
have tumor harvested at surgery and successful manufacturing of Vigil but are ineligible for
CL-PTL-119 (the VITAL study) or previously randomized to placebo, and also in patients who
have recurrent ovarian cancer.

This is a randomized, open label intra-patient crossover study of Vigil, the checkpoint
inhibitor Atezolizumab and the combination of the two agents, in patients with epithelial
ovarian cancer, or other gynecological cancers (i.e., cervical, uterine). Eligible patients
will be randomized to receive two cycles of Vigil alone or two cycles of Atezolizumab alone,
followed by combination treatment with the two agents. Patients may continue on single agent
Atezolizumab until disease progression, only if pre-approved by Sponsor.

This study is intended as a companion study to protocol CL-PTL-119, A Randomized, Double
Blind, Placebo Controlled Phase 2 trial of Vigil Engineered Autologous Tumor Cell
Immunotherapy in Subjects with Stage IIIb-IV Ovarian Cancer in Clinical Complete Response
following Surgery and Primary Chemotherapy, otherwise known as the VITAL study. Patients who
have tumor harvested at surgery and Vigil successfully manufactured, but then are ineligible
for randomization onto the VITAL study or previously randomized to placebo, and also in
patients who have recurrent ovarian cancer will be offered the opportunity to participate in
this protocol.

Subjects enrolled will either be:

- Patients with recurrent ovarian disease. Furthermore, subjects who have previously
received Vigil on this study may be considered for re-procurement for manufacture of
Vigil (after consultation and approval from Sponsor) and re-enrolled into Part 2, OR

- Patients with ovarian cancer who failed to meet the eligibility criteria for Protocol
CL-PTL-119 because of failure to achieve a complete clinical response following primary
debulking surgery and standard paclitaxel/carboplatin therapy, OR

- Patients who failed to meet the eligibility criteria for Protocol CL-PTL-119 because of
a histologic diagnosis of another gynecological cancer (i.e., cervical, uterine) and not
ovarian cancer, OR

- Patients who were randomized on Protocol CL-PTL 119 and were subsequently unblinded at
recurrence and were assigned to the placebo arm.

Tissue Procurement Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be eligible for tissue procurement for the Vigil manufacturing process, if
they meet all of the following criteria:

≥ 500mL (from a primary or secondary paracentesis, yielding in a high volume of tumor
cells) for immunotherapy manufacture.

7. Tumor intended for immunotherapy manufacture is not embedded in bone and does not
contain luminal tissue (e.g. bowel, ureter, bile duct).

8. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed protocol specific

2. Known history of other malignancy unless having undergone curative intent therapy
without evidence of that disease for ≥ 3 years except cutaneous squamous cell and
basal cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, in situ cervical cancer or other
in situ cancers are allowed if definitively resected.

3. Brain metastases unless treated with curative intent (gamma knife or surgical
resection) and without evidence of progression for ≥ 2 months.

4. Any documented history of autoimmune disease with exception of Type 1 diabetes on
stable insulin regimen, hypothyroidism on stable dose of replacement thyroid
medication, vitiligo, or asthma not requiring systemic steroids.

5. Known HIV or chronic Hepatitis B or C infection.

6. Known history of allergies or sensitivities to gentamicin.

7. History of or current evidence of any condition (including medical, psychiatric or
substance abuse disorder), therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the
results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration
of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the
opinion of the treating Investigator.

8. Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy,
endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal
antibodies, other investigational agent) less than 21 days prior to tissue
procurement.

Study Enrollment Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be eligible for registration into the trial if they meet all of the following
inclusion criteria:

1. Successful manufacturing of at least 4 vials of Vigil.

2. One of the following:

1. Failure to meet the eligibililty criteria for Protocol CL-PTL-119 due to i)
histology of ovarian cancer and failure to achieve a complete clinical response
following primary debulking surgery and standard paclitaxel/carboplatin therapy
OR, ii) a histologic diagnosis of another gynecologic malignancy which is not
ovarian cancer.

2. Recurrent ovarian cancer.

3. Randomized on Protocol CL-PTL-119 and were subsequently unblinded at recurrence
and were assigned to the placebo arm.
