Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Trial of a WT-1 Analog Peptide Vaccine in Patients With Myeloid Neoplasms (NCT NCT00665002)

NCT ID: NCT00665002

Last Updated: 2015-02-27

Results Overview

Toxicities were tabulated according to the NCI Common Toxicity (version 3.0) by grade and category. If more than one patient developed ≥ grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity or grade 4 hematologic toxicity, the study accrual was to be suspended immediately for a careful toxicity data evaluation. Depending upon the findings of such safety/toxicity data assessment and consultation with the supporting pharmaceutical company, the principal investigator of this trial would have the option of terminating this trial permanently, amending the study protocol, or resuming the patient accrual.

Experimental: WT-1 Analog Peptide Vaccine
Participants received 6 bi-weekly vaccinations over 10 weeks. WT-1 vaccine was given with Montanide. Participants also received an injection of Sargramostim (GM-CSF) two days before each vaccination and again on the day of the WT-1 injection at the same spot.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: All participants

Immune Response: Immune reactivity was measured for all participants. Immune response was measured by T cell proliferative response and DTH against WT-1 peptides. In patients with adequate samples, T cell gamma interferon release as measured by ELISPOT and/or multiparameter intracellular staining by flow cytometry were performed as well. ELISPOT Assay: CD4+ immune response, CD4+ and CD8+ response. The samples of participants' blood obtained at baseline and week 12 were tested for CD4 T cell proliferation, CD4 and CD8 T cell interferon release. Tetramer Analysis of WT1-specific Immune responses: subtle WT1 T cell expansion, positive by ELISPOT and T cell expansion. Delayed-type Hypersensitivity (DTH): measurable DTH response without overlap with ELISPOT or tetramer responders). Overall: any form of immune response.
