Brief Summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Vaccines made from a person's cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma Biological: Autologous Lymphoma Immunoglobulin-derived scFv-chemokine DNA Vaccine Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Phase 1

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a novel lymphoma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine encoding macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP3a)-fused lymphoma idiotype in single chain format.

II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the vaccine.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the immunogenicity of the vaccine to generate tumor-specific cellular and humoral immune responses.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive autologous lymphoma immunoglobulin-derived single-chain variable fragment (scFV)-chemokine DNA vaccine intradermally (ID) at 0, 4, and 8 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, and then every 6 months for 1 year.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum tolerated dose defined as the highest dose level in which 6 patients have been treated with less than 2 instances of dose limiting toxicity according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.0 [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Toxicity type and severity will be summarized by frequency tables.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immune response defined as at least a three-fold rise in the precursor frequency of tumor-reactive T cells [ Time Frame: At 12 weeks ]
    The rate of immune response will be estimated.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Tissue diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with surface immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA) or immunoglobulin M (IgM) phenotype with a monoclonal heavy and light chain as determined by flow cytometry; all primary diagnostic lymph node and/or bone marrow biopsies will be reviewed at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (UTMDACC)
  • Previously untreated patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (of any subtype: IgG, IgA, IgM) in the asymptomatic phase
  • Patients must provide a lymph node sample of at least 1.5 cm in the long axis, or a bone marrow aspiration sample providing at least 5 million cluster of differentiation (CD)20 and/or CD38+ (approximately 10 ml)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dl and a creatinine clearance >= 30 ml/min
  • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 mg/dl unless felt secondary to Gilbert's disease
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2 x upper limit of normal
  • Ability to provide informed consent, and to return to clinic for adequate follow-up for the period that the protocol requires
  • Female subject is either post-menopausal or surgically sterilized or willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the last vaccination has been administered
  • Male subject agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C infection
  • Pregnancy or lactating females
  • Patients with previous history of malignancy within the last 5 years except curatively treated squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin or curatively treated carcinoma in-situ of other organs
  • Any medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the principal investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate this treatment
  • Patients with New York Heart Association class 3 or 4 disease
  • Patients with a history of autoimmune diseases except for Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Patients with positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) and/or anti-double strand (ds) DNA antibodies
