Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase Ib trial evaluates the safety and most effective dose of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 peptide-loaded alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cell (CMV-alphaDC1) vaccination in patients who are undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. CMV is an opportunistic infection that can occur or reactivate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant as a result of immunosuppression. The CMV-alphaDC1 vaccine is made of white blood cells that have been exposed to molecules called cytokines, as well as CMV proteins. Introducing these dendritic cells to the patients immune system may activate an immune response to CMV, protecting against infection or reactivation.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety of cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 peptide loaded alpha-type 1 polarized dendritic cell (CMV-alphaDC1) vaccination after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). II. Determine the immunogenicity of CMV-alphaDC1 vaccination after alloHCT. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the effect of CMV-alphaDC1 vaccination after alloHCT on late CMV reactivation. II. Evaluate the effect of CMV-alphaDC1 vaccination after alloHCT on non-relapse mortality (NRM). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the effect of CMV-alphaDC1 vaccination on T cell subsets. II. Assess the effect of CMV-alphaDC1 vaccination on T cell receptor diversity. OUTLINE: On day 0, patients undergo standard of care hematopoietic stem cell infusion. Patients receive CMV-alphaDC1 vaccine intradermally on days 28, 42, 56, and 70. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at days 84, 100, 180, and 365.
