Brief summary:
This is a Phase II study of Vigil™ autologous tumor cell vaccine integrated with carboplatinum. All patients will have Vigil™ prepared and stored from ovarian tumor cells obtained at the time of primary surgical debulking. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will receive either carboplatinum alone (AUC 6/30 minute infusion) or carboplatinum (AUC 5/30 minute infusion) and taxol (175 mg/m2/3 hour infusion) one day prior to Vigil™ 1.0 x 10e7 cells/intradermal injection, once every 3 weeks.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Patients meeting eligibility criteria will receive either carboplatinum alone (AUC 6/30 minute infusion) or carboplatinum (AUC 5/30 minute infusion) and taxol (175 mg/m2 3-hour infusion) one day prior to Vigil™ 1.0 x 10e7 cells/ intradermal injection, once every three weeks. At recurrence, patients allergic to carboplatinum will receive docetaxel 75 mg/m2/1 hour infusion, one day prior to Vigil™ 1.0 x 10e7 cells/intradermal injection every 3 weeks. Patients with stable disease (SD) or better and unable to tolerate continued chemotherapy will be allowed to continue Vigil™ alone for up to 12 cycles or as long as vaccine is available; conversely, patients with SD or better who exhaust Vigil™ supply may continue on chemotherapy alone.

Interventions: intervention 1: Vigil™ Vaccine intervention 2: Carboplatinum intervention 3: Carboplatinum and Taxol
