Official Title: | A Phase I Trial of Host Dendritic Cell Infusion After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant for Prevention or for Treatment of Relapsed Disease in Patients With Advanced Hematologic Malignancies |

Estimated Primary Completion Date : | July 2013 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group 1
Patients with Minimal Residual Disease or Minimal Volume Relapse post allogeneic stem cell transplant will receive MSSM/BIIR HDC Vax-001 (Host Dendritic Cells) by infusion
|
Biological: MSSM/BIIR HDC Vax-001 (Host Dendritic Cells)
Patients who have minimal residual disease or minimal volume relapse, and are at least four weeks post immunosuppression following allogeneic stem cell transplantation will receive a series of four HDC infusions (100,000 HDC/kg per infusion, one every four weeks(group 1). Those patients who have greater than minimal residual disease will receive HDC infusions, one every four weeks in conjunction with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) (group 2). |
Experimental: Group 2
Patients with greater than Minimal Residual Disease or Minimal Volume Relapse post allogeneic stem cell transplant will receive MSSM/BIIR HDC Vax-001 (Host Dendritic Cells) by infusion in conjunction with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)
|
Biological: MSSM/BIIR HDC Vax-001 (Host Dendritic Cells)
Patients who have minimal residual disease or minimal volume relapse, and are at least four weeks post immunosuppression following allogeneic stem cell transplantation will receive a series of four HDC infusions (100,000 HDC/kg per infusion, one every four weeks(group 1). Those patients who have greater than minimal residual disease will receive HDC infusions, one every four weeks in conjunction with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) (group 2). |
- The incidence of severe graft versus host disease (GVHD) grade C or D as defined by IBMTR grading. [ Time Frame: 2 weeks following each HDC infusion and 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the last HDC infusion ]
- The incidence of grade A and B acute GVHD, limited chronic GVHD, infusion reactions, graft loss and donor chimerism [ Time Frame: 2 weeks following each HDC infusion and 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the last HDC infusion ]
