All participants received two days of rituximab, then four days of high-dose cyclophosphamide followed by filgrastim. Participants then received six doses of KGEL vaccine over 24 weeks interspersed with four additional doses of rituximab. KGEL vaccine: Vaccine was administered at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 at a dose of 1 x 10\^8 cells per dose. The first dose was given on Day +1. Filgrastim: 5 mcg/kg/day starting on Day +6 until ANC is \>= 1000/mcL. Rituximab: 375 mg/m\^2/day on Days -10, -7, and at weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7. Cyclophosphamide: 50 mg/kg/day on Day -3, -2, -1, and 0.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from 3 months to 6 months

Population: Although the specimens were collected per protocol, they were not interpretable and therefore no data was collected to assess this outcome measure

Percentage of participants with an increase in frequency of LMP2-specific CD8+ T cells. Increase in frequency is defined as at least one order of magnitude higher than baseline measurement.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 years

Median number of months that participants were alive (overall survival) and alive without disease relapse or new diagnosis of myelodysplasia or acute leukemia (event-free survival).
