4. Patients must have received a PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor prior to treatment with ATL001 (unless contraindicated).

5. Patients whose tumour is known to have a BRAF V600 mutation must have received BRAF targeted therapy (as well as a PD- 1/PD-L1 inhibitor unless contraindicated) prior to treatment with ATL001.

6. Patient is considered medically fit enough to undergo all study procedures and interventions: procedures to procure blood and tumour tissue, including a general anaesthetic if required, and to receive fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and IL-2 at protocol doses and schedules.

7. Patient is considered, in the opinion of the Investigator, capable of adhering to the protocol.

8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1.

9. Adequate organ function per the laboratory parameters defined in the protocol.

10. Female patients who are of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study for at least 12 months after the ATL001 infusion. Non-sterilised male participants who intend to be sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception from the time of screening, throughout the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the ATL001 infusion.

11. Anticipated life expectancy ≥ 6 months at the time of tissue procurement.

12. Patient must have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1

Additional Inclusion criteria will apply as per the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with known leptomeningeal or CNS metastases at the time of screening.

2. Patients with ocular, acral or mucosal melanoma.

3. Patients with active infectious disease.

4. Patients with active, known, or suspected, autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive treatments.

5. Patients requiring regular treatment with steroids at a dose higher than prednisolone 10mg/day (or equivalent).

6. Patients with a current or recent history, as determined by the Investigator, of clinically significant, progressive, and/or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, haematological, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, gastroenterological or neurological disease.

7. Patients with a history of immune mediated central nervous system toxicity that was caused by, or suspected to be caused by, immunotherapy.

8. Patients with a history of ≥ Grade 2 diarrhoea/colitis caused by previous immunotherapy within 6 months of screening. Patients that have been asymptomatic for at least 6 months or have had a normal colonoscopy post-immunotherapy (with uninflamed mucosa by visual assessment) are not excluded.

10. Patients who have undergone major surgery in the previous 3 weeks.

11. Patients with an active concurrent cancer or a history of cancer within the past 3 years (except for in situ carcinomas, early prostate cancer with normal Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) or non-melanomatous skin cancers).

12. Patients with a history of organ transplantation.

13. Patients who have previously received any investigational cell or gene therapies.

14. Patients with contraindications for cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and IL-2 at per protocol doses (see Investigator's Brochure for details).

15. Patients with a known history of allergic reactions to amphotericin b, penicillin and/or streptomycin.
