Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) — 15 participants

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the WT-1 vaccine causes an immune response and is safe. The WT-1 vaccine is made up of protein pieces that the patient's immune system can recognize as abnormal.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Cytologic or histologic diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome confirmed at Moffitt Cancer Center.
  • Patients with acute myelogenous leukemia will have completed induction chemotherapy, achieved first complete remission (CR) 1 or 2, and will have completed any planned postremission therapy (at discretion of treating physician),with no plan for allogenic or autologous transplant.
  • Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who according to the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) are category Int-2 or greater, with disease that relapsed, progressed, or not responded to at least 1 prior course of approved therapy for MDS (i.e. hypomethylating agent or lenalidomide).
  • Patients with AML/MDS must have documented WT-1 + disease. For purposes of this study, this may be either the demonstration of WT-1 protein on a pretreatment bone marrow biopsy or detectable disease with RQ-PCR. For patients in whom a bone marrow aspirate is not available or possible (e.g. "dry tap"), a peripheral blood sample may be used for WT-1 screening. In such cases, 10 cc of peripheral blood will be collected in a heparinized tube.
  • At least 4 weeks must have elapsed between the patient's last chemotherapy or radiation treatment and the first vaccination.
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%
  • Hematologic parameters:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/mcL (except for MDS, for which the parameter is ≥ 500/mcL)
  • Platelets > 50 K/mcL (except for MDS for which the parameter is > 25 K/mcL and not transfusion dependent)
  • Biochemical parameters:
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl
  • Aspartic transaminase (AST) and Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limits of normal
  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dl

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Patients with leptomeningeal disease
  • Patients with active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal treatments
  • Patients with serious unstable medical illness
  • Patients taking systemic corticosteroids
  • Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement with cancer/leukemia
