简要总结
This research study is studying a cancer vaccine called Dendritic Cell/AML Fusion vaccine (DC/AML vaccine) as a possible treatment for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML).
The interventions involved in this study are:
- Dendritic Cell/AML Fusion vaccine (DC/AML vaccine)
- Decitabine, a chemotherapy drug
详细描述
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. This study is investigating the DC/AML vaccine with and without the drug decitabine as a possible treatment for AML in the post-transplant setting.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the DC/AML vaccine as a treatment for any disease.
The FDA has approved decitabine as a treatment option for this disease.
The FDA has not approved the combination of the DC/AML vaccine with decitabine as a treatment option for any disease,
In this research study, the investigators are determining if the DC/AML vaccine can be used safely in subjects with acute leukemia after they have undergone a transplant, and whether the DC/AML vaccine alone is capable of producing immune responses against leukemia. Cancer cells are foreign to the body and have unique markers that distinguish them from normal cells.

- •Patients must have had a minimum of 5x107 cells cryopreserved.
- •Patients must be day 25-45 following allogeneic transplantation from either:
- •Group A: HLA 8/8 or 7/8 matched related donor or HLA 8/8 matched unrelated donor, as determined by antigen or allele level typing at HLA A,B,C, and HLA DRB
- •Group B: Haplo-identical donor
- •Patients must be ≥ 18 years old
- •ECOG performance status ≤2 (Appendix A)
- •Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- •Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (unless patient has Gilbert's disease)

- •Absolute neutrophil count > 1000
- •Platelet count > 50,000
- •The effects of DC/AML fusion cells on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

- •Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- •Eligibility Prior to Initiating Vaccination (Groups A and B)
- •Assessments to be done between Day 45-75 post-transplant.
- •At least 2 doses of fusion vaccine were produced
- •No ongoing grade II-IV acute GVHD
- •Prednisone requirement of < 20mg a day or steroid equivalent
- •Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

- •Participants may not be receiving any other Non-FDA approved study agents at the start of vaccination
- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including uncontrolled active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with study requirements.
