Brief Summary:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of laboratory-treated T cells and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed), previously treated with donor stem cell transplant. Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into a person's T cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the safety and potential toxicities associated with treating patients with high risk or relapsed AML, MDS, and CML after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) by adoptive transfer of virus-specific cluster of differentiation (CD)8 T cells genetically-modified to express a high affinity Wilms tumor 1 (WT1)-specific T cell receptor (TCR).

II. Determine the anti-leukemic activity associated with treating patients with relapsed AML, MDS and CML after allogeneic HCT by adoptive transfer of virus-specific CD8 T cells genetically-modified to express a high affinity WT1-specific T cell receptor (TCR).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the in vivo persistence of transferred T cells and ability to migrate to and accumulate in bone marrow.

II. Determine the maintenance of TCR expression and function of transduced T cells.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients with no evidence of leukemia post-HCT receive WT1-sensitized T cells intravenously (IV) over 45 minutes (or longer for patients who are 15-30 kg) on days 0 and 14 and aldesleukin subcutaneously (SC) twice daily (BID) on days 14-28.

ARM II: Patients with evidence of AML (minimal residual disease or overt relapse) post-HCT receive cyclophosphamide IV and fludarabine phosphate IV daily on days -4 to -2. Patients also receive WT1-sensitized T cells IV over 45 minutes (or longer for patients who are 15-30 kg) on days 0 and 21 and aldesleukin SC BID on days 14-28.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up weekly for 4 weeks, at weeks 6 and 8, at 3, 6, 12 months, and then annually for up to 15 years.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Anti-leukemic Potential Efficacy, in Terms of Duration of Response (Arm II) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]

    Response is assessed throughout the 1 year post treatment timeframe. Morphologic criteria for response:

    Complete Response (CR) = Bone Marrow blasts <5%; no blasts with Auer rods; no extramedullary disease. Transfusion independent.

    Platelets ≥ 100,000/μl Absolute neutrophil count >1000/μl (CRi: incomplete hematologic recovery CRp: incomplete platelet recovery)

    Partial Response (PR) = Decrease of at least 50% in the percentage of blasts to 5-25% in the bone marrow and the normalization of blood counts as for CR. (PRi and PRp if incomplete hematologic or platelet recovery)

    Stable Disease (SD) = Failure to achieve at least PR, but no evidence of progression for >4 weeks.

  • Patients must have an HLA-matched donor of hematopoietic stem cells (related or unrelated)
  • Patients must be able to provide blood and bone marrow samples and undergo the procedures required for this protocol
  • Patients must be >= 15 kg, as patients with lower weight would be incapable of providing high volume and frequent blood samples for monitoring and analysis

  • DONOR: Less than 18 years old
  • DONOR: Active infectious hepatitis
  • DONOR: HIV or human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) seropositive
  • DONOR: Pregnancy or nursing
  • DONOR: Significant medical conditions (e.g. immunosuppressive therapy) that would make the donor an unsuitable T cell donor
