Decitabine and Vaccine Therapy for Patients With Relapsed AML Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Phase 1
Withdrawn
Conditions
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
Interventions
Biological: Vaccine
Registration Number
NCT01483274
Lead Sponsor
University of Louisville
Brief Summary

Patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) who relapse after an allogeneic stem cell transplant cell receive decitabine to up regulate cancer antigen expression, followed by a donor lymphocyte infusion and an autologous dendritic cell (DC). Vaccine Dendritic cells are pulsed with overlapping peptides derived from MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, and NY-ESO-1.

Detailed Description

For vaccine production, mature DC will be pulsed with overlapping peptides mixes derived from full-length NY-ESO-1, MAGE-A1, and MAGE-A3.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient has a history of autoimmune disease, specifically inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Patient has a known systemic hypersensitivity to DAC, imiquimod, or any vaccine component.
  • Patient has evidence of recurrent leukemia.
  • Patient is receiving systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppression.
  • Persistent clinically significant toxicity from prior anticancer therapy that is > Grade 2 (NCI CTCAE v3.0).
  • Pregnant or lactating females are excluded.
  • Other active systemic malignancy other than leukemia expected to require therapy within 4 months.
  • Patients with a systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection not controlled (defined as exhibiting ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection and without improvement, despite appropriate antibiotics or other treatment).
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise patient safety or compliance, interfere with consent, study participation, follow up, or interpretation of study results.
  • Patients with a positive result for any of the following diagnostic tests: Hep B Ag, Hep B Core Ab, Hep C Ab, HIV-1 Ab, HIV-2 Ab, HTLV-1 Ab, HTLV-2 Ab, RPR.
  • Received any investigational new drug within 30 days prior to the first dose of vaccine , or are scheduled to receive an investigational new during the course of the study
