Brief Title: Collection of Samples From Patients With MDS
Official Title: Collection of Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood (PB), Epithelial Tissue, and Saliva Samples From Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) to Identify MDS-Specific Antigens (MSA) for Use in Cellular Immunotherapy.
Study ID: NCT03072498
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect information and bone marrow, blood, saliva, cheek cells and skin to be used in the laboratory to assist the sponsor in identifying a new way of treating MDS.
Detailed Description: Goals of the study: The purpose of this study is to collect the blood and marrow samples, and non-involved fibroblasts, that are required to identify the unique, personalized array of mutation-driven neoantigens that are expressed by the subject's MDS cells and to assess the feasibility of immunizing and expanding one or more of the patient's T cells ex vivo for investigation of their use as adoptive cellular immunotherapy.
