Vaccine Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

* Phase II Eligibility Criteria Must be confirmed within 4-weeks of vaccination except for Beta-HCG (confirm within 1-week) when appropriate. Tumor measurements must be performed within 2-weeks of enrollment. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Histological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Squamous cell (epidermoid), adenocarcinoma, bronchoalveolar carcinoma and large cell anaplastic lung carcinoma histologies are eligible. Mixed histologies of NSCLC (i.e., adenosquamous) are eligible. Mixed NSCLC/small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), and variant large and small cell lung cancer are NOT eligible for this study. Patients being treated at the NCI must have their pathology reviewed and confirmed by the NCI Laboratory of Pathology. Patients being treated at MCG must have their pathology reviewed and confirmed by the MCG Pathology Department. Metastatic (AJCC Stage IV- any T, any N, M1), progressive, recurrent or refractory NSCLC. Patients may not be eligible for other curative intent treatment (e.g., surgical resection). For the purpose of eligibility for this trial, the above-cited disease states are defined as follows: Progressive NSCLC- Defined as increasing measurable disease or the appearance of new measurable disease by RECIST criteria despite treatment. Recurrent NSCLC- Defined as the re-appearance of measurable disease or the appearance of new measurable disease by RECIST criteria after prior successful treatment or complete response. Refractory NSCLC- Defined as achieving less than a complete response and having residual measurable by RECIST criteria after prior treatment with chemotherapy, targeted or small molecules, monoclonal antibodies or any combination of these. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status less than or equal to 2. Serum albumin greater than or equal to 3.0 gm/dL. Expected survival greater than or equal to 4 months. Adequate organ function including: * Marrow: Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10.0 gm/dL, absolute granulocyte count (AGC) greater than or equal to 1,000/mm(3) platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mm(3), absolute lymphocyte count greater than or equal to 475/mm(3). * Hepatic: Serum total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) with the exception of less than 2.9 mg/dL for patients with Gilbert's disease, ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) less than or equal to 2.5 times the ULN. * Renal: Serum creatinine (sCr) less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, or creatinine clearance (Ccr) greater than or equal to 50 mL/min. All On-Study Tests must be less than or equal to CTC Grade I toxicity for patients to be eligible for study, excluding serum LDH levels. PT, PTT must be less than or equal to 1.5 times ULN except for patients who are on therapeutic anticoagulant therapy. Measurable disease as defined by RECIST Criteria. Subjects must have negative serologies for hepatitis viruses B and C, and HIV prior to entering study. Prior therapy for NSCLC that may include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and/or prior chemotherapy regimens (including neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment). There are no restrictions to the number of prior therapies subjects have received. Treatment with a single course of gefitinib or (Iressa), or erlotinib (Tarceva), or other small molecule or targeted therapies, or monoclonal antibody therapy will be considered and count as prior chemotherapy. Patients that refuse chemotherapy are eligible. Patients must be greater than or equal to 4 weeks since major surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy (6-weeks if they were treated with a nitrosourea or mitomycin) or biotherapy/targeted therapies and recovered from the toxicity of prior treatment to less than or equal to CTC grade 1, exclusive of alopecia or fatigue. Patients must have the ability to understand the study, its risks, side effects, potential benefits and be able to give written informed consent to participate. Patients may NOT be consented by a durable power of attorney (DPA). Male and female subjects of child producing potential must agree to use contraception or avoidance of pregnancy measures while enrolled on study and receiving the experimental drug, and for one month after the last immunization. Patients should have sites of NSCLC that are accessible to needle, punch or other limited biopsy, be at low risk for biopsy and be willing to undergo tumor core needle biopsy, punch or other similar biopsy pre-vaccination and again post-vaccination. Such sites may include skin and soft tissue metastases, adrenal gland metastases, peripheral lymph nodes (supraclavicular, axillary, or inquinal), a pulmonary lesion at low risk for complications defined as lesions greater than 1.5 cm surrounded by aerated lung, pleural based masses greater than 1.5 cm and lesions not associated with a major pulmonary vessel, or other disease sites that may undergo biopsy with minimal discomfort and risk to the patient. These biopsies are optional. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Age less than 18-years-old. Active CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis. Hypercalcemia greater than 2.9 mmol/L, unresponsive to standard therapy (e.g., I.V. hydration, diuretics, calctonin and/or bisphosphate therapy). Pregnant or nursing women due to the unknown effects of vaccination on the developing fetus or newborn infant. Other malignancy within five years, unless the probability of recurrence of the prior malignancy is less than 5%. Patient's curatively treated for squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix (CIN) or patients with a history of malignant tumor in the past that have been disease free for at least five years are also eligible for this study. History of organ transplant, or current active immunosuppressive therapy (such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, etc.). Subjects taking systemic corticosteroid therapy for any reason including replacement therapy for hypoadrenalism, are not eligible. Subjects receiving inhaled or topical corticosteroids are eligible. Subjects who require systemic corticosteroids after beginning vaccinations, will be removed from the study. Significant or uncontrolled congestive heart failure (CHF), myocardial infarction, significant ventricular arrhythmias within the last six months or significant pulmonary dysfunction. Active infection or antibiotics within 1-week prior to study, including unexplained fever (Temp. greater than 38.1 degrees C). Autoimmune disease (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosis, active rheumatoid arthritis, etc) with the exception of vitiligo. Patients with a remote history of asthma or mild active asthma are eligible. Other serious medical conditions that may be expected to limit life expectancy to less than 2-years (e.g., liver cirrhosis). Any condition, psychiatric or otherwise, that would preclude informed consent, consistent follow-up or compliance with any aspect of the study (e.g., untreated schizophrenia or other significant cognitive impairment, etc). A known allergy to any component of the alpha(1,3)galactosyltransferase tumor vaccine or cell lines from which it is derived. Patients having undergone splenectomy or prior vaccine therapy for their NSCLC.
