Summary
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Vaccines may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving lenalidomide together with vaccine therapy may make a stronger immune response and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving lenalidomide together with vaccine therapy works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
