Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from a peptide may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells
PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying two different vaccines to treat patients who have gastric prostate or ovarian cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the toxicity of EGFRvIII peptide vaccine with sargramostim GM-CSF or keyhole limpet hemocyanin KLH as adjuvant in patients with EGFRvIII-expressing cancer Determine the preexisting antibody and T-cell responses to EGFRvIII in these patients Determine the antibody and T-cell responses to EGFRvIII peptide after immunization with this vaccine with GM-CSF or KLH as adjuvant
OUTLINE Patients are assigned to one of two treatment arms
Arm I Patients receive a vaccine containing EGFRvIII peptide admixed with sargramostim GM-CSF intradermally monthly Arm II Patients receive a vaccine containing EGFRvIII peptide admixed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin subcutaneously monthly
Treatment in both arms continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 24 patients 12 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
