Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from a persons white blood cells that have been treated in the laboratory may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells
PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the safety and feasibility of active immunotherapy comprising autologous dendritic cells infected with recombinant fowlpox-CEA-TRICOM vaccine in patients with advanced or metastatic malignancies expressing CEA Assess the CEA-specific immune response of patients treated with this regimen Assess in a preliminary manner the clinical response rate of patients treated with this regimen
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study
Autologous dendritic cells ADCs are harvested and infected with fowlpox-CEA-TRICOM vaccine Patients receive the infected ADCs intradermally and subcutaneously SC followed by ADCs mixed with CMV pp65 peptide and ADCs mixed with tetanus toxoid SC and intradermally on day 1 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for a total of 4 8 or 12 immunizations in the absence of unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 6 patients receive an escalating number of immunizations until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 6-18 patients will be accrued for this study
