Summary:
This is a phase III, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial which compares the time to progression of the disease (TTP) in patients receiving FavId vaccine, the study medication, and Leukine to the TTP in patients receiving a placebo and Leukine.


Eligibility:
This trial will be conducted in individuals with follicular B-cell lymphoma (Grade 1, 2, or 3 by the WHO classification) 18 years of age and older. Participans must not have received more than two prior treatment regimens for NHL and must be at least 4 weeks between the last administration of any prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or experimental therapy and day 1 of rituximab administered on study. All patients must be stable or responding to treatment with rituximab before randomization.
