Adenovirus CCL-21 Transduced MART-1/gp100/Tyrosinase/NY-ESO-1 Peptide-Pulsed Dendritic Cells Matured

Melanoma (Skin) Clinical Trial

Official title: A Dose Ranging Trial of Adenovirus CCL-21 Transduced MART-1/gp100 Peptide-Pulsed Dendritic Cells Matured Using Cytokines for Patients With Chemotherapy-Resistant Metastatic Melanoma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.

Clinical Trial Description

In this phase I study, patients will receive intradermal injections of adenovirus-CCL-21 transduced class I peptide-pulsed DC with total volumes for each intradermal injection of no more than 1 ml to be split into four injections of 0.25 ml each in four limbs in node draining areas (proximal arms and thighs), for a total DC dose of 2 X 10^6, 10^7 or 2 X 10^7 cells to be administered intradermally. DC injections in one course of therapy will be given four times at intervals of weekly for two doses (days 1 and 8 +/- 72 hrs.), then every two weeks for two doses (at days 22 +/- 72 hrs. and 36 +/- 72 hours). Cells will be harvested for DC administration and a flow cytometry analysis as well as microbiologic analysis including bacterial/fungal cultures and gram stain will be performed prior to infusion. All injections will be based on number of DC, not number of total cells. ;
