Trial Outcomes & Findings for Peptide Vaccinations to Treat Patients With Low-Risk Myeloid Cancers (NCT NCT00488592)

NCT ID: NCT00488592

Last Updated: 2021-07-12

Results Overview

Number of participants diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who experienced an inducing or boosting of a cellular immune response following Wilm's Tumor 1 (WT1) and PR1 vaccine. A T-cell immune response was considered positive if the frequencies of interferon (IFN-γ+) cluster of differentiation (CD8+) T cells in peptide-stimulated peripheral bloody mono-nucleated cells (PBMCs) were 2-fold or more higher than the frequencies of interferon (IFN-γ+) CD8+ T cells in unstimulated PBMCs and if there was a minimum of 0.05% Interferon (IFNγ+) CD8+ T cells (after subtracting the frequencies of interferon (IFNγ+) CD8+ T cells in unstimulated PBMCs). A significant vaccine-induced CD8+ T-cell response was defined as the emergence of detectable PR1 or WT1-specific CD8+ T cells when the pre-study analysis found no response, or a 2-fold increase in frequencies when responses were present before vaccination.

PR1/WT1 Vaccine Response in Participants With Low-Risk Myeloid Cancers
Participants were given subcutaneous 6 injections of PR1:169-177 in "Montanide" adjuvant and 6 doses of WT1:126-134 in "Montanide" adjuvant at 2 weekly intervals. 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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Number of participants diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who experienced a hematological response following Wilm's Tumor (WT1) and PR1 peptide vaccine. Hematological response is defined by reduction in marrow blast cells, changes in blood counts.
