NaSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from gene-modified cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vaccine therapy together with imatinib mesylate may be an effective treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy when given together with imatinib mesylate in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
