RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with donor lymphocytes that have been treated in the laboratory may be an effective treatment for hematologic cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving vaccine therapy together with donor lymphocyte infusion and to see how well it works in treating patients who have undergone a donor stem cell transplant for progressive or relapsed hematologic cancer.

Official Title: | A Pilot Trial of WT1 Peptide-Loaded Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Vaccine and Donor Lymphocyte Infusion for WT1-Expressing Hematologic Malignancies |
Estimated Enrollment: | 12 |
Study Start Date: | November 2007 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | November 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, pilot study.
Patients receive WT-1 peptide-loaded allogeneic dendritic cell (DC) vaccine subcutaneously and intradermally in weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Patients will also receive donor lymphocytes IV over 15-30 minutes 1 hour after WT-1 peptide-loaded allogeneic DC vaccine in weeks 0, 4, and 8 in the absence of graft-versus-host disease.
Patients undergo Delayed Type Hypersensitivity skin tests before starting treatment, and again in months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 to check the ability of the patient's immune system to respond to the previously given vaccines. Patients also undergo peripheral blood and bone marrow collection periodically during study. Samples are analyzed to evaluate the impact of vaccine therapy on the immune system (i.e., immune cell function, immune cell targets, and WT-1 expression within cancer cells) by immunohistochemistry, quantitative RT-PCR, ELISPOT assay, and flow cytometry.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months.
