Study Summary

We would like patients to be in a research study to determine the safety and effectiveness of special cells that may make their own immune system fight their cancer. To do this, we will put a special gene into cancer cells that have been taken from the patients body. This will be done in the laboratory. This gene will make the cells produce interleukin 2 (IL-2), which is a natural substance that may help their immune system kill cancer cells. Additionally, we will stimulate the cancer cells with normal embryonic fibroblasts (cells that develop into normal connective tissues in the body) so that they will make another natural protein called CD40 ligand (CD40L). Studies of cancers in animals suggest IL-2 performs better when mixed with CD40L. Some of these cells will then be put back into the patients body with the goal that they will act like a vaccine and stimulate their immune system to attack the CLL cells. Studies of cancers in animals and in cancer cells that are grown in laboratories suggest that combining substances like IL-2 and CD40L with cancer cells help the body recognize and kill cancer cells. We have already conducted a study similar to this in patients with CLL. In that study, the subjects received about three months of injections (shots). In those subjects we saw some changes in the subject's immune system that might indicate that the modified cells were helping their immune system fight the cancer. However, in most of the subjects this change in the immune system went away after the injections were stopped. In this study we want to see if we can make the change in the immune system last longer by giving more injections over a longer period of time. We hope that this might produce a better response directed at the CLL cells. We will also be looking at the effect on cells called cancer stem cells which grow into the CLL cells we see in the blood. Specifically, this study will allow subjects to receive the injections for up to one year.
