Three intramuscular injections LAD 11.25 mg 3 Month treatment administered approximately 3 months apart.

Three intramuscular injections of matched placebo administered approximately 3 months apart.

LAD intramuscular injection 11.25 mg, 3 month duration. To stimulate immune response, a subcutaneous key limpet hemocyanin (KLH) vaccination injection (1 mg) was administered at Month 6.

Leuprolide acetate depot (LAD) 11.25 mg 3 Month

Matched placebo intramuscular injection, 3 month duration. To stimulate immune response, a subcutaneous key limpet hemocyanin (KLH) vaccination injection (1 mg) was administered at Month 6.

Phase 2 study, conducted in patients with Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or mantle cell lymphoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

This Phase 2 study will be conducted in patients with Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or mantle cell lymphoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients will be randomized to receive either LAD 11.25 mg 3 Month treatment or placebo and all patients will be vaccinated with KLH 6 months posttransplant. Patients will be evaluated to determine if the rate of immunologic recovery in the LAD group is enhanced compared with the placebo group.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Serum immunoglobulin IgM antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baseline is defined as the IgM concentration before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the IgM value postvaccination minus the IgM value at prevaccination.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Serum immunoglobulin IgG1 antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baseline is defined as the IgG1 concentration before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the IgG1 value postvaccination minus the IgG1 value at baseline.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Interferon gamma was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot-forming cell (ELISpot). Baseline is defined as the interferon gamma concentration obtained before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the interferon gamma value postvaccination minus the interferon gamma value at baseline.

CD4+ cells are a type of T cell. T cells are produced in the thymus and thymic function can be determined by TREC. By counting the number of TRECs present (only 1 copy per cell) within a population of CD4 cells, an assessment of T cell recovery and immune response is obtained.

The change from baseline is defined as posttransplant TREC/100,000 CD4+ cells minus pretransplant TREC /100,000 CD4+ cells.

CD8+ cells are a type of T cell. T cells are produced in the thymus and thymic function can be determined by TREC. By counting the number of TRECs present (only 1 copy per cell) within a population of CD8+ cells, an assessment of T cell recovery and immune response is obtained.

The study was terminated early because of slow enrollment. For the primary endpoint, changes from baseline within each treatment group were analyzed. Between treatment group comparisons were not performed because the sample size was too small.

Mean IgM at baseline (mcg/mL)

Mean IgM change from baseline (mcg/mL)

Eight subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 5 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for IgM. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.

Mean Change From Baseline in IgM Response (Mcg/mL) Before Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) Vaccination at Month 6 and After KLH Vaccination at Month 7 in Patients Who Received LAD or Placebo

The final on treatment values were included in the analysis.

Baseline TREC per 100,000 CD4+ cells

Mean change in TREC from baseline to final visit

Nine subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 7 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for TREC per 100,000 CD4+ cells. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.
