A Phase 2 interventional study of DC Vaccine & Cyclophosphamide and DC Vaccine & Placebo in Malignant Melanoma Stage IV, sponsored by Baylor Research Institute. Terminated at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-07-08.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide) and CD34-DC vaccines results in the improved rate of clinical responses for stage IV melanoma patients.
Vaccination of patients with metastatic melanoma using ex vivo generated dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with tumor-associated antigen(s) have been shown to induce tumor-specific immunity against melanoma antigens measured by in vitro assays and, in some cases, tumor regression. At the present time, the numbers of recorded patients with metastatic melanoma who have been treated with DC vaccinations are too small to predict with certainty the future of overall therapeutic value of DC vaccinations in the management of patients with metastatic melanoma. The purpose of this study is to gather data on feasibility and efficacy of novel combination therapy of CPA and a DC vaccine outlined in this protocol to treat metastatic melanoma.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will receive a fixed dose of about ≥15x106 viable dendritic cells per injection. Patients will receive a total of 8 doses of the vaccination with each individual dose being administered at weeks: 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22. Responses will be evaluated and patients with SD, PR or CR may receive 4 more vaccine at 36, 48, 72 and 96 weeks, if there is vaccine available. The vaccine will be injected subcutaneously, in 3 separate injection sites (3.3.ml per site) in the upper and lower extremities. Patients will receive either CPA 300mg/m2 for injections administered intravenously over a 2-hour infusion in the outpatient clinic 24 hours prior to DC vaccinations # 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
