This is a pilot study to assess the safety and tolerability, as well as the immune response rate, of mDC3 vaccine in patients with colorectal cancer.~Eligible patients that provide written informed consent will undergo apheresis to collect blood mononuclear cells for vaccine production approximately 1 week prior to vaccine infusion. Each study subject will receive cyclophosphamide 300mg/m^2 intravenously 3 to 4 days prior to the vaccine dose to deplete regulatory T cells. For each vaccine dose, all subjects will receive autologous dendritic cells pulsed with mutated peptides. On Day 1, the subject will receive the primer vaccine dose; this will be followed by one booster vaccine dose approximately 8 weeks later. Peripheral blood will be taken weekly, and a second apheresis procedure will be performed at the end of study to monitor the immune response to the vaccine. Information will be gathered from usual clinic visits for approximately 1 year following the End of Treatment Study Visit to evaluate for disease progression.
