Brief Summary: Patients with advanced stage melanoma who underwent vaccination with the Melan-AMART-1 peptide and who display detectable levels of Melan-A specific CD8 T cells in peripheral blood are eligible for this trial After collecting and freezing of these tumor specific T cells via apheresis patients undergo a single cycle of immunosuppressive chemotherapy 3 days after cells are reinfused and peptide vaccination continued The aim of this immunotherapy protocol is to boost tumor specific T cells during the immune recovery period in order to reinforce the patients immune response against the tumor
Detailed Description: Patients who have previously been vaccinated with Melan-AMART-1 peptide are eligible Whole PBMCs containing Melan-A specific CD8 lymphocytes are collected via lymphocytapheresis and freezed Lymphodepleting chemotherapy consists of 2 days of Busulfan 2mgkg at days -7-6 followed by Fludarabine 30mgm2 at days -5-4-3 At day 0 whole untreated PBMCs are reinfused to the patient and vaccination with Melan-A analog peptide is restarted and repeated every 4 weeks Immunomonitoring with detailed FACS analysis using tetramers is performed at day 081530 and then monthly The aim is to boost Melan-A specific CD8 T cells in vivo during homeostatic proliferation after lymphodepletion and antigen driven proliferation due to peptide vaccination
