Idiotype Vaccine After Chemotherapy & Stem Cell Transplantation in Lymphoma With Failed Induction Chemotherapy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lymphoma
Interventions
Biological: Id-KLH
Registration Number
NCT00574886
Lead Sponsor
University of Nebraska
Brief Summary

This is a compassionate use protocol for participants who failed induction chemotherapy + Vaccine on previous trials. These participants then went on to high dose BEAM chemotherapy and transplant, then received idiotype vaccine therapy at 3 months post transplant. Vaccine was given monthly x 4 series, with a fifth series given 12 weeks after the fourth. Participants were then followed annually until progression or death with standard staging.

Detailed Description

This trial was made available as a compassionate use protocol for participants who failed induction chemotherapy + Vaccine on trials 0197-99-FB and 0196-99-FB. These follicular NHL participants then went on to high dose BEAM chemotherapy and transplant. Patients received idiotype vaccine therapy at 3 months post transplant. Vaccine was given monthly x 4 series, with a fifth series given 12 weeks after the fourth. Participants are then followed annually until progression or death with standard staging. Immune response testing continues annually on participants who continue to have a response post transplant.
