Brief Title: Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
Official Title: Phase I Study of an Active Immunotherapy for Asymptomatic Phase Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma With DNA Vaccines Encoding Antigen-Chemokine Fusion
Study ID: NCT01209871
Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Vaccines made from a person's cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a novel lymphoma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine encoding macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP3a)-fused lymphoma idiotype in single chain format. II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the vaccine. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the immunogenicity of the vaccine to generate tumor-specific cellular and humoral immune responses. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive autologous lymphoma immunoglobulin-derived single-chain variable fragment (scFV)-chemokine DNA vaccine intradermally (ID) at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, and then every 6 months for 1 year.
