There will be a series of 12 peptide vaccinations given as a subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection (vaccines) at 2 week intervals resulting in an immune response to myeloma. The tumor peptides used in the vaccines are unique to myeloma, and it is not expected that there will be an immune response to normal organs. Myeloma cells must express MAGE-A3 or NY-ESO-1, be severe enough to require chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation and have appropriate HLA tissue type.","groups":[{"description":"Treatment will consist of receiving peptide (small pieces of proteins)vaccinations as a shot just under the skin (subcutaneous). We have chosen to vaccinate with peptides derived from cancer proteins found in myeloma and other cancers. Purpose: to generate anti-myeloma T-cells which will kill only myeloma cells.\n\nMAGE-A3 AND NY-ESO-1 IMMUNOTHERAPY : 3 injections with 300µg/injection (in 1.5mls) of peptide will be given subcutaneously together with the adjuvant GM-CSF at 500µg (same site in 0.5 mls) at two-week intervals.\n\nMAGE-A3 : vaccinations at 2-week intervals (days 22,36,50) with the MAGE-A3 or NY-ESO-1 peptide and GM-CSF adjuvant. The peptides will be given s.c. in a dose of 300μg; GM-CSF (250μg) will be administered to promote attraction, maturation and longevity of DCs. #2 will be thawed and re-infused after transplant on day 81 and any anti-myeloma T-cells in this leukapheresis product will be boosted immediately by re-vaccinating.","id":"OG000","title":"MAGE-A3 AND NY-ESO-1 IMMUNOTHERAPY"}],"paramType":"NUMBER","populationDescription":"only 2 were complete per protocol. 2 were withdrawn by physician due to relapse.","reportingStatus":"POSTED","timeFrame":"2 week intervals","title":"The Number of Participants Experiencing a Response to the Peptide Vaccines.","type":"PRIMARY","unitOfMeasure":"participants"}
