Pilot Study of Rituximab, High Dose Cyclophosphamide, and GM-CSF Based Immunotherapy for Relapsed Hodgkin's Lymphoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating KGEL vaccine, Filgrastim, and 2 other interventions for Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vaccines made from another person's cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving rituximab together with chemotherapy and vaccine therapy may kill more cancer cells PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide and vaccine therapy works in treating patients with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma.
