Study 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 \[t(4;11) or t(9;22)\] 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.

Primary Outcome

Vaccine preparation is a success if an adequate number of CD40 activated cells (at least 1 x 10\^8 cells) can be generated.
