Efficacy of Peptide (WT1) and Peptide(PRI) Vaccination for Patients With Low Risk Myeloid Malignancies
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating WT1:126-134, PR1:169-177 Peptide, and 2 other interventions for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of two vaccines on slowing disease progression, improving blood counts, reducing the need for transfusions of blood and platelets, or achieving remission in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, also known as myelodysplasia), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The vaccines consist of peptides (parts of proteins) found in MDS, AML and CML stem cells, combined with a substance called "MontanideTM". They are administered with granulocyte- macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The Montanide and the GM-CSF help the immune system respond to the vaccines. People 18 years of age or older with MDS, AML or CML may be eligible for this study. Participants receive six injections of the vaccines, one dose every other week for a total of 10 weeks. The injections are given in the upper arm, upper leg, or abdomen. A separate injection of GM-CSF is given in the same area as the vaccine injections. Subjects are observed for 2 hours after the first vaccination and at least 30 minutes after each subsequent vaccination for allergic reactions. In addition to the vaccination, subjects undergo the following: * History and physical exam, chest x-ray, blood tests and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy before starting the vaccinations. * Safety monitoring during vaccine administration (every other week for 10 weeks) with blood tests and check of vital signs. * Follow-up safety monitoring (weeks 12 and 16) with blood tests every visit, chest x-ray at week 12 and bone marrow biopsy visit 16.

Timeline
Interventions
Subjects were given 6 doses of PR1:169-177 in "Montanide" adjuvant and 6 doses of WT1:126-134 in "Montanide" adjuvant at 2 weekly intervals. The peptides were injected in the deep subcutaneous tissue of the anterior abdominal wall, the thighs or the upper arms near the deltoid region. The sites of injection were rotated every 2 weeks. GM-CSF (Sargramostim) was co administered with each vaccine dose. Subjects with immunological response to one or both peptide vaccines had the option of receiving a maximum of 6 additional boosters of the WT-1:126-134 and PR1:169-177 peptide vaccines at 3 monthly intervals.
