Cyclophosphamide Plus Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

Cyclophosphamide Plus Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

Background:
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Vaccines made from a patient's tumor tissue may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy combined with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells. This is a Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide plus tumor cell vaccine in treating patients who have metastatic cancer or cancer at high risk of recurrence.

Objectives:
+ Determine the safety and clinical effects of autologous or allogeneic active-specific intralymphatic immunotherapy with a vaccine containing interferon alfa or interferon gamma-treated tumor cells followed by sargramostim (GM-CSF) in patients with advanced cancers.
