Study of GSK2130579A Tumor-Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic in Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients With a Suboptimal Clinical Response to Induction Chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of a WT1
Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (WT1 ASCI) as post-induction therapy in adult
patients with WT1-positive AML presenting a suboptimal clinical response to induction
chemotherapy. The study will also assess whether this treatment induces a specific immune
response to the malignancy.
Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (WT1 ASCI) as post-induction therapy in adult
patients with WT1-positive AML presenting a suboptimal clinical response to induction
chemotherapy. The study will also assess whether this treatment induces a specific immune
response to the malignancy.
At least 40 patients will be enrolled in this study, divided in two cohorts of 20 patients
each. One cohort will include patients in partial remission after induction therapy and one
cohort will include patients in complete remission but with incomplete blood count recovery.
Patients in both cohorts will receive the same study treatment according to the same
administration schedule.
This protocol summary has been updated according to the Protocol Amendment 3 (dated 10 Sept
2014).
All active follow-up visits and procedures after the concluding visit, 30 days after the last
treatment administration, will be stopped In addition, no more biological samples will be
collected for protocol research purposes. For each biological sample already collected in the
scope of this study and not tested yet, testing will not be performed by default, except if a
scientific rationale remains relevant.Blood sampling for safety monitoring as per protocol
will continue.

Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient has cytologically proven AML as defined by the World Health Organization
(WHO) classification. The pretreatment AML karyotype should be documented.
- The leukemia is a de novo or secondary AML.
- The patient's blasts cells show expression of WT1 transcript, detected by quantitative
Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR).The patient received the
following therapy according to the Institution's standard of care.
- For patients < 60 years old: at least two induction chemotherapy treatments.
- For patients >= 60 years old: at least one induction chemotherapy treatment or
alternative treatment.
- The first ASCI administration should be given within one year after the last
chemotherapy administration. All screening procedures should be completed within seven
weeks before the first ASCI administration.
- In the investigator's opinion and in compliance with the Institution Hematology Tumor
Board's guidances, the patient should not be eligible for any additional chemotherapy
treatment before the ASCI treatment.
- The clinical status of the patient at inclusion is one of the following:
- Partial Remission (PR)
- Morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi)
- Written informed consent has been obtained prior to the performance of any
protocol-specific procedure.
- The patient is >= 18 years of age at the time of signature of the first informed
consent form.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1 or 2.
- Adequate hepatic and renal function defined as:
- Serum bilirubin < 1.5 times the Upper Limit of Nor-mal (ULN).
- Serum ALT < 2.5 times the ULN.
- Calculated creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min.
- In the view of the investigator, the patient can and will comply with the requirements
of the protocol.
- If the patient is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. have a
current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or be post-menopausal, or if she is
of childbearing potential, then she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days
prior to treatment administration, have a negative pregnancy test and continue such
precautions for 2 months after completion of the treatment administration series.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The patient was diagnosed with leukemic Central Nervous System (CNS) disease (e.g.
before chemotherapy) or presents neurological symptoms at baseline suggestive of a CNS
involvement.
- The patient has acute promyelocytic leukemia with t(15;17) (q22;q12), (PML/RARα) or
variants.
- The patient has received, or is receiving, allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT).
- The patient has received Fludarabine, Clofarabine or Cloretazine within 12 months
preceding the ASCI treat-ment.
- The patient has hypercalcemia.
- The patient is known to be HIV-positive.
- The patient has symptomatic autoimmune disease such as, but not limited to multiple
sclerosis, lupus, and in-flammatory bowel disease. Patients with vitiligo are not
excluded.
- The patient has a history of allergic reactions likely to be exacerbated by any
component of the study investigational product.
- The patient has other concurrent severe medical prob-lems, unrelated to the
malignancy, that would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose
the patient to unacceptable risk.
- The patient has another metastatic cancer disease.
- The patient has a history of congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease or
previous myocardial infarction.
- The patient has psychiatric or addictive disorders that may compromise his/her ability
to give informed consent, or to comply with the study procedures.
- The patient has received any investigational or non-registered medicinal product other
than the study treat-ment within 30 days preceding the first dose of study treatment
or plans to receive such a drug during the study period.
- The patient requires concomitant chronic treatment (more than 7 consecutive days) with
systemic corticosteroids or any other immunosuppressive agents.
- The patient is receiving full dose subcutaneous heparins or is under anti-coagulation
treatment.
- For female patients: the patient is pregnant or lactating.
