Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from a patients dendritic cells and tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and the maximum tolerated dose of autologous dendritic cells pulsed with autologous tumor cell lysate in patients with stage III or IV melanoma
Determine the safety and tolerability of this therapy in these patients

Secondary

Determine the immune response in terms of the type and degree of T-cell proliferation and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses in patients treated with this therapy

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation pilot study

Patients undergo leukapheresis for the collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells PBMC on days -9 19 and 47 Autologous dendritic cells DC are prepared from autologous PBMC exposed to sargramostim GM-CSF interleukin-4 and tumor necrosis factor alpha and pulsed with autologous tumor cell lysate Patients receive autologous tumor cell lysate-pulsed DC IV over 5-10 minutes on days 0 28 and 56

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of autologous tumor cell lysate-pulsed DC until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose at which 33 of all patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Patients are followed at day 84 and then every 3 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-20 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-20 months
