Cyclin B1 Peptide-Pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cell Vaccine for Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

In the currently proposed study, patients will receive the first dose of the vaccine
approximately 2 weeks prior to surgery. The second dose will be administered about 3-4 weeks
following surgery. A booster dose of the vaccine will be given 6 months after the 2nd
vaccine. The tumor tissue and serum will be studied for immunological responses following
therapy with the vaccine. Patients are allowed to receive adjuvant chemotherapy if
indicated. The choice of the chemotherapy regimen will be at the discretion of the treating
physician, preferably 3-4 cycles of platinum combination regimen. The vaccine should be
administered at least 2 weeks before chemotherapy is initiated.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung
cancer

& IIIA (N2 negative)

- No prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer

- Age >18 years

- ECOG performance status <2

- Patients must have acceptable organ and marrow

- Patient must be deemed surgically and medically resectable

- Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to use effective
contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.

- Patients should not have received chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 3 months prior
to entry to study.

- Patients with tumors involving the superior sulcus are not eligible.

- Patients must not have post-obstructive pneumonia or other serious infection at the
time of registration or other serious underlying medical condition that would impair
the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment.

- Prior resection of lung cancer is allowed, if at least five years have elapsed
between previous resection and registration.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements.

have a negative pregnancy test.
