Hypomemylating Agents Combination With eDC Therapy for Elderly Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (eDC-MDS)

August 10, 2021 updated by: Affiliated Hospital to Academy of Military Medical Sciences

A Randomized, Open-label, Clinical Trial to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Hypomemylating Agents Monotherapy and Combination With eDC Therapy for Elderly Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to optimize the traditional treatment scheme and explore the cure scheme for the elderly by combining the existing mature treatment technology. The primary aim of this innovative immunotherapy using WT1/hTERT/Survivin-loaded DCs is to determine whether this novel DC vaccination is safe and can significantly prevent clinical relapse and increase survival of MDS patients.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Objective Myelodysplastic syndrome (Myelodysplasticsyndromes,MDS) is a highly age-related malignant clonal disease of the hematological system, which is characterized by pancytopenia and transformation to leukemia. In China, the median age of onset of MDS is 70 years old, and the incidence increases with age. It is the most common malignant tumor in the elderly, which seriously threatens the health and survival of the elderly. The 3-year survival rate of traditional combination chemotherapy or demethylation therapy is less than 20%.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Active Comparator: Hypomemylating agent monotherapy
Azacitidine 100mg/ times. d × for 10 days (28 days for one cycle) or Decitabine 25mg/ times. d × 5 days ( 28 days is one cycle)
Biological: DC vaccine
EDC cell therapy collection and administration process. Collection of PBMC for preparation of DC cells for patients with autologous DC cells, patient PBMC was collected 10-16 weeks before administration for the preparation and large-scale culture of DC cells. For the patients with matched DC cells, a small amount of peripheral blood was taken for HLA typing 4 weeks before administration, and then the matched DC cells were cultured on a large scale.
