E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This study will be subdivided into 2 parts: -Part A: to determine a safe dose of the vaccination, and -Part B: to study its activity measured as the one-year relapse-free survival rate, based on an expansion cohort.
-Part A; primary objective: - To assess the safe dose for CBDC vaccination after CBT, defined by the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), including acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). The DLT evaluation period lasts from the first vaccination until 84 days after the third CBDC vaccination.
-Part B primary objective: - To demonstrate an increase in the WT1+ AML relapse-free survival rate using a WT1-loaded CBDC vaccine, at one year after the first vaccination (using a historic cohort not receiving a CBDC vaccination as reference data for the Simon-2-stage design).
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Part A: secondary objectives: - To assess the safety and tolerability of the vaccination strategy - To assess the induction/increase of WT1-specific immunity in vaccinated individuals during one year of follow-up from the first vaccination - To assess overall survival at one year after the first vaccination - To assess WT1+ AML relapse-free survival at one year after the first vaccination -To assess the chronic GvHD (cGvHD) occurrence during one year of follow-up from the first vaccination
Part B: secondary objectives: - To assess the safety and tolerability of the vaccination strategy - To assess the induction/increase of WT1-specific immunity in vaccinated individuals during one year of follow-up from the first vaccination - To assess the overall survival at one year after the 1st vaccination - To assess the cGvHD occurrence during one year of follow-up from the first vaccination (as compared to our historic cohort not receiving a CBDC vaccination).

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Pediatric AML patients eligible for allo-HCT according to standard-of-care guidelines, with overexpression of WT1 mRNA in an AML sample (>50 copies WT1/10^4 copies ABL for PB, and >250 copies WT1/10^4 copies ABL for BM) 52 taken at diagnosis and/or relapse after (re-)induction chemotherapy. -Indication for CB-HCT according to the UMC Utrecht guidelines -CB selection criteria: the 80% fraction of the unit should contain a minimum total nucleated cell number of 3x10^7 NC/Kg criteria for any match grade (before cryo-preservation). Preferable CD34+/Kg dose: > 1x10e5 in the 80% fraction -The whole CB unit should contain more than 7.5x10^6 total CD34+ before freeze. -Karnofsky/Lansky score ≥70 (annex 1) -Age limits for part A (safety run) only: ≥12 and ≤17 years of age, and <18 years for part B of the study. -Signed informed consent

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: -Patients undergoing allo-HCT with stem cells derived from PBMCs or BM -Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding or unwilling to use adequate contraceptive methods -Known allergies to compounds used in the CBDC production process or the local anesthetic “lidocaine-tetracaine (Rapydan®) plasters -Patients included in other intervention studies influencing the endpoints of this study

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Part A: Safety: Occurrence of DLTs including aGvHD (according to Glucksberg criteria 1) from the first vaccination (t=0) until 84 days after the third CBDC vaccination
Part B: Activity: One-year WT1+ AML relapse-free survival rate from the time of the first vaccination as compared to historic controls.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Primary endpoints A) Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be scored according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03, and aGvHD is scored according to the Gluckberg criteria 1 B) WT1+ MRD and relapses are monitored, predicted and confirmed by assessing the WT1 mRNA levels in PB samples (1 ml) by U-DAIR (UMC Utrecht) as specified in the laboratory manual.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary Endpoints, Part A and Part B: - One-year cumulative increase of WT1-specific immunity defined by:
-In vitro T cell reactivity towards MHC class I and II-restricted WT1 epitopes by multiplex-cytokine assay and flow cytometric analysis of CD8/CD137 and CD4/CD154 expression by PBMCs stimulation with WT1 peptivator (Miltenyi). -Quantitative and qualitative FACS analysis of WT1-specific-positive CD8+ T cells using HLA-A2 multimers against a wide range of possible WT1 peptides. The multimers are made using the conditional MHC class I ligands and peptide exchange technology currently available for the human MHC gene products HLA-A1, -A2, -A3, -A11, and -B772 - One-year cumulative incidence of cGvHD (according to NIH criteria2) from the first vaccination until one year of follow-up - One-year overall survival rate from the time of first vaccination - One-year WT1+AML relapse-free survival rate, from the time of first vaccination
Exploratory Endpoints, Part A and Part B: - Changes in general immune parameters between those samples taken before and those taken after the first vaccination until one year of follow-up: -T cells (naïve, central memory, effector, effector memory resting or activated CD4, CD8 and gamma/delta TCR) -Regulatory T cells (CD3/CD4/CD127/CD25/FoxP3) -T helper subsets (Th1, Th2, Th17, Th22, follicular helper cells) -B cells (naïve, memory, transitional, plasmablasts) -NK/NKT cells (CD16/CD56, CD3, Va24/Vb11) -Dendritic cell/monocytes (classical, intermediate, non-classical monocytes and BDCA1, BDCA3 and plasmacytoid DCs
- Expression of inhibitory (immune checkpoint) molecules on the AML in the case of relapse occurring after the first vaccination until one year of follow-up

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
