Brief Summary: The prognosis for children and adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia ALL has improved significantly over the years Nevertheless patients who experience disease relapse or induction failure along with patients having unfavorable genetics t411 or t922 have dismal prognosis For these patients novel therapeutic approaches such as immunotherapy are needed In this clinical trial investigators evaluate whether it is feasible to make a vaccine from leukemia cells and whether this vaccine enables direct immunity against cancer cells in patients
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES Primary
To determine feasibility of generating a cellular vaccine composed of CD40-activated autologous ALL cells To determine feasibility of vaccine administration according to the proposed schedule To determine toxicity of vaccination with CD40-activated autologous ALL cells
Secondary
To assess ALL-specific immunity following vaccination To assess the generation of immunity to control antigens To develop preliminary information on effect vaccination on tumor response
