Brief Summary:
This phase I trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage III-IV or recurrent ovarian cancer. Vaccines made from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety of an insulin like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) Th polyepitope plasmid based vaccine in patients with advanced stage or recurrent ovarian cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the immunogenicity of IGFBP-2 Th polyepitope plasmid based vaccine in patients with advanced stage or recurrent ovarian cancer.
II. To determine whether intermolecular epitope spreading occurs with the generation of an IGFBP-2 specific Th1 immune response.
III. To determine whether IGFBP-2 vaccination modulates T regulatory cells.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive pUMVC3-hIGFBP-2 multi-epitope plasmid DNA vaccine intradermally (ID) monthly for 3 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and then every 6 months for 5 years.
