Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients Who Have Received First-Line Therapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma
- Conditions
- Lymphoma
- Interventions
- Biological: Hodgkin's antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccineProcedure: adjuvant therapy
- Registration Number
- NCT00478062
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a tumor antigen may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients who have received first-line therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine immunologic responses in patients who have completed first-line therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with Hodgkin's antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine.
* Determine the durability of these immunologic responses in these patients.
* Determine the utility of an Epstein-Barr virus reporter system for monitoring cellular vaccine responses.
* Determine the safety and tolerability of this vaccine in these patients.
OUTLINE: Beginning 4-6 months after last chemotherapy, patients receive Hodgkin's antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 4 courses.
Immunologic responses are serially monitored along with disease status.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
