Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from peptides and a persons white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells Injecting the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells Giving vaccine therapy before surgery may be effective treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give vaccine therapy in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the feasibility and safety of neoadjuvant ultrasound-guided intranodal vaccine therapy comprising autologous dendritic cells pulsed with recombinant HER2neu peptides in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast
Determine the sensitization of CD4 and CD8 T cells to HER2neu in patients treated with this vaccine
Determine clinical response in patients treated with this vaccine

Secondary

Correlate post-vaccine sensitization of CD4 and CD8 T cells to HER2neu with clinical response in patients treated with this vaccine

OUTLINE This is a pilot study

Patients undergo leukapheresis over 2-3 hours to obtain lymphocytes and monocytes Monocytes are cultured with sargramostim GM-CSF interleukin-4 interferon gamma and lipopolysaccharides for the production of dendritic cells DC DC are then pulsed with recombinant HER2neu peptides to produce the dendritic cell vaccine Approximately 2 days after leukapheresis patients receive the vaccine intranodally into 2 different lymph nodes by ultrasound guidance once a week for 4 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity Patients then undergo a second leukapheresis to obtain T lymphocytes for immunologic analysis Within 2-3 weeks after completion of vaccine therapy patients undergo lumpectomy or mastectomy AND sentinel lymph node biopsy

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years
