Phase:

PHASE1

PHASE2

Brief Summary

Patients with Multiple myeloma who have undergone non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant will receive 6 vaccinations of donor derived dendritic cells combined with specific protein produced...

Detailed Description

To evaluate feasibility and safety of vaccination with allogeneic idiotype-pulsed dendritic cells following mixed chimeric allogeneic transplantation for multiple myeloma.
