NCT00442130

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess the safety and immune activity of a vaccine made from the participant's own cancer cells, when administered after a reduced intensity transplant. In recent years, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered that vaccines made from a patients's own cancer cells, that have been engineered in the laboratory to produce a protein called GM-CSF, can be effective in stimulating a powerful immune response specific to that cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the safety and toxicity of vaccination with lethally irradiated autologous CLL cells admixed with GM-562 cells following reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant for CLL patients with advanced disease.

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To characterize the biologic activity in response to vaccination with lethally irradiated autologous CLL cells admixed with GM-562 cells, following reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant

    2 years

  • to estimate duration of disease response, disease free and overall survival.

Study Arms (1)

GM-K562 Vaccine

EXPERIMENTAL

Biological/Vaccine: GM-K562 vaccine The vaccine will be administered over 1 cycle of 7 weeks, that begins 1 month after stem cell transplant. The vaccine will be given 6 times over 2 months -- once a week for three weeks then every other week for 3 vaccines. Procedure/Surgery: stem cell transplantation Participants will be admitted to the hospital for approximately 8 days to receive chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation
