Brief Summary: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage IV melanoma Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

I Determine the dose-limiting toxicities maximum tolerated dose recommended phase II dose and rate of sensitization of T cells at each dose level in patients with melanoma receiving dendritic cell vaccine

II Determine the overall complete and partial response rate duration of response and optimal route of administration in this patient population

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms

All patients undergo leukopheresis to obtain lymphocyte and myeloid origin mononuclear cell fractions for preparation of dendritic cell DC vaccine In each arm cohorts of up to 5 patients receive escalating doses of vaccine The maximum tolerated dose MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 5 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity Randomization ceases if the MTD has been reached in 2 arms although accrual may continue Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for a total of 4 doses

Arm I Patients receive 3 different doses of peptide pulsed DC vaccine IV each divided into 3 different peptide pulsed pools administered over 30 minutes

Arm II Patients receive 3 different doses of peptide pulsed DC vaccine subcutaneouslyintradermally to sites with no evidence of disease At the lowest dose patients receive 3 different peptide pulsed pools each administered at a separate site At the higher doses patients receive 3 injections further subdivided into 6 and administered at 6 distinct sites

Arm III Patients receive peptide pulsed DC vaccine intranodally in groin or ancillary lymph nodes at the lower 2 doses of the 3 administered to arms I and II At the lower dose patients receive 3 different peptide pulsed pools each administered into a different node At the higher dose patients receive 3 injections further subdivided into 6 and administered at 6 distinct sites

Patients are followed at 2 weeks and then monthly for 3 months
