Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate a method of using dendritic cells (a kind of white blood cell) as a vaccine to stimulate your own immune system to react to your melanoma cells.

Primary Outcome

* Starting on Day 0, two tubes will be drawn weekly until Day 64. Thereafter, two tubes will be drawn every 21 days until Day 190. For patients receiving maintenance treatment, blood is drawn every month. * Data are presented as the percentage of CD8+ T cells positive for tetramer binding based on gating variables set using the iMASC reagent kit (Beckman Coulter).

Interventions

  • DRUG cyclophosphamide
  • BIOLOGICAL Mature dendritic cell vaccine
