Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells and cancer cells may make the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of autologous dendritic and leukemic fusion cell vaccine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Determine the toxicity of this vaccine in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine whether cellular immunity can be induced by this vaccine in these patients.
