Brief Title: A Safety and Effectiveness Study of Vaccine Therapy in Patients With Indolent Lymphoma
Official Title: A Phase II Trial of Active Specific Immunotherapy in Patients With Indolent Lymphoma Using Autologous Lymphoma-Derived Heat Shock Protein-Peptide Complex (HSPPC-96)
Study ID: NCT00081809
Brief Summary: Primary Objectives: * To document the efficacy of treatment with autologous lymphoma-derived HSPPC-96 of selected patients with indolent lymphoma. The efficacy endpoints are: * the rate of complete and partial responses * the time to progression. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous tumor-derived heat-shock protein peptide complex (HSPPC-96) administered intradermally once weekly for four consecutive weeks, followed by HSPPC-96 administered once every two weeks. * To evaluate the feasibility of autologous HSPPC-96 preparation from lymphoma specimens. * To assess approximately the composition of the tissue source of the autologous HSPPC-96 for each patient. * To study the effect of autologous lymphoma-derived HSPPC-96 vaccine therapy on the expression of Fas ligand and TRAIL death proteins in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with indolent lymphoma.
