Intervention(s)

After informed consent, patients underwent an excisional lymph node biopsy to confirm diagnosis and to provide the material for Id identification and cloning. Patients received standard therapy for their diagnosis (4-6 months), and then were not treated for 2 to 6 months for immune recovery. Once the vaccine has been prepared, the patient received one or two courses of three vaccinations monthly. One of two vaccine constructions (scFv-PVXCP or MIP3A-scFv) was used per patient. Patients receive that form of the vaccine (scFv-PVXCP or MIP3A-scFv) which was first obtained by genetic engineering, so it is a random choice. However, this is not true randomization. After the last (3rd) vaccination in the course, immune response is observed at three time points: 1 week, 1 month and 2 months. If the first course of vaccination is not followed by immune response, they may be assigned a second course of vaccination with another form of the vaccine. Minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring and at least one Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) examination are performed for half a year after the last vaccination.

One dose included 500 µg of plasmid DNA solution in 1-2 ml sterile DPBS buffer. Linear PEI 8 kDa was used to prepare complexes with plasmid DNA with a ratio of N (PEI) to P (DNA) of 10/1. The required amount of 10 µg/µl solution PEI stock solution was diluted with 5% glucose to an equal volume of DNA solution added to it and rapidly mixed by pipetting. Mixture was kept for 10 minutes at room temperature to form complexes and administrated by intramuscular injection into the gluteal muscle.

The total duration of treatment is: standard chemotherapy (4-6 months) + recovery (2-6 months) + vaccination (2 months) + follow up (2 m
Primary Outcome(s)
Safety and tolerability of vaccination; local and systemic adverse events are observed and symptoms are measured according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0 (CTCAE)
Secondary Outcome(s)
Immunologic response to vaccination (anti-Id cellular and humoral immune response), measured using ELISPOT and ELISA at diagnosis (before treatment), before vaccination (after treatment), 1 week, 1 month and 2 months after the last vaccination
