简要总结
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's cancer cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage IV or recurrent melanoma.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the safety of immunization with autologous in vitro-treated tumor cells and dendritic cells in combination with sargramostim (GM-CSF) in patients with stage IV or recurrent melanoma.
- Determine the frequency of conversion of delayed tumor hypersensitivity tests in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the progression-free and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with measurable melanoma treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to presence of measurable disease at study initiation (yes vs no).
Patients undergo tumor cell harvest. Patients with multiple persistent sites of metastatic disease after harvest may receive systemic therapy (biologic therapy and/or chemotherapy) during tumor cell line expansion over approximately 4 months. The tumor cell line is expanded, irradiated, and treated with interferon gamma.
Patients undergo leukapheresis to collect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to obtain dendritic cells (DC). The PBMC are treated with sargramostim (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 for 7 days to produce DC. The DC are then cultured with the treated tumor cells for 18 hours.
