Brief Title: Safety Study of a Melanoma Vaccine (GVAX) With or Without Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Surgically Resected Melanoma
Official Title: A Feasibility and Toxicity Study of a Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Secreting Allogeneic Melanoma Vaccine Administered Alone or in Combination With Cyclophosphamide in Subjects With Surgically Resected At-Risk Melanoma
Study ID: NCT01435499
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of administering an allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting lethally irradiated whole melanoma cell vaccine ("melanoma GVAX"), alone or in combination with low dose cyclophosphamide (CPM), for the adjuvant treatment of patients with surgically resected stage IIB-IV melanoma. Secondarily, the investigators will assess in vitro correlates of anti-melanoma immunization by melanoma GVAX, including serological and cellular immune responses in patients treated with either the vaccine alone or the vaccine given with low dose CPM.
