Lead Sponsor:

University of Louisville

Conditions:

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Phase:

PHASE1

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 inf...

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.

  • Patients must be off systemic immunosuppression for at least two weeks prior to the start of therapy on the study.
  • ECOG performance status 0-2, Lansky performance status \>70 (see Appendix 1).
  • Hematologic Function: ANC: ≥ 500; Platelet count: ≥ 75.
  • Renal Function:
  • Creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR ≥ 70ml/min/1.73 m2 OR a serum creatinine based on age/gender using the Schwartz formula:
  • Cardiac Function: Patient must have normal cardiac function documented within two weeks before starting of a treatment cycle 1 by:
  • Ejection fraction (\> 55%) documented by echocardiogram or fractional shortening (≥ 28%) documented by echocardiogram.
  • Liver Function: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x normal for age, and ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 x normal for age.
  • Room air pulse oximetry \> 94%.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of enrollment.
  • Male and female patients must agree to use a medically acceptable barrier and/or chemical contraceptive method during the study and for a minimum of 3 months after the last dose of chemotherapy on this study.
  • Subjects must be \> 3 months and \< 12 months post-SCT at the time of the first vaccination.
  • Donor chimerism must be \> 90%, assist at least two weeks prior to beginning treatment
  • Subjects must be at least 30 days post-transplant to enroll on the study and to undergo apheresis, and must be at least three months post-transplant to begin therapy with DAC/vaccine.

  • 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.
