Brief Summary: RATIONALE Vaccines made from donated tumor cells treated with interferon alfa may make the body build an immune response to and kill pancreatic tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Colony-stimulating factors may help a persons immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy Combining these treatments may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining vaccine therapy using donated tumor cells treated with interferon alfa and radiation therapy and cyclophosphamide plus GM-CSF in treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the feasibility toxicity and antitumor effects of active specific intralymphatic immunotherapy with allogeneic pancreatic cancer cells treated with interferon alfa plus low-dose adjuvant systemic sargramostim GM-CSF and cyclophosphamide in patients with incurable pancreatic adenocarcinoma II Assess the immunologic and biologic correlates of this treatment regimen in these patients

OUTLINE Cultured allogeneic pancreatic cancer cells are incubated with interferon alfa for 72-96 hours Autologous cell lines if established may be used as an alternative The cells are irradiated immediately prior to use Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on day -3 and sargramostim GM-CSF subcutaneously on days 0-8 On day 0 patients receive viable tumor cells via dorsal pedal lymphatic cannulation Treatment repeats every 2-4 weeks for a minimum of 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients are followed every 2-4 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 14 patients will be accrued for this study
