Trial Information

KGEL Vaccine After Initial Therapy of Hodgkin's Lymphoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine immunologic responses in patients who have completed first-line therapy for
Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with Hodgkin's antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine.

- Determine the durability of these immunologic responses in these patients.

- Determine the utility of an Epstein-Barr virus reporter system for monitoring cellular
vaccine responses.

- Determine the safety and tolerability of this vaccine in these patients.

OUTLINE: Beginning 4-6 months after last chemotherapy, patients receive Hodgkin's
antigens-GM-CSF-expressing cell vaccine on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to
4 courses.

Immunologic responses are serially monitored along with disease status.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
