Brief Summary:

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the Wilms Tumor-1 (WT1) vaccine, when given in combination with montanide and GM-CSF, can help to prevent or delay mesothelioma from coming back after surgery and treatment. The safety of this vaccine will also be tested.

Montanide and GM-CSF are designed to cause white blood cells to grow, which may help to increase the immune response.

WT1 is a protein in cancer cells that regulates gene expression and causes cell growth. Mesothelioma tumors usually have high levels of WT1. The WT1 vaccine is designed to cause the increased immune response created by other drug combinations (like montanide and GM-CSF) to be directed at mesothelioma.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: WT-1-vaccine Montanide + GM-CSF
The study will be a randomized phase II trial to determine the 1-year progression free survival after treatment with WT-1 analog peptide vaccine in patients with MPM after completion of combined modality therapy.
 Biological: WT-1-vaccine Montanide + GM-CSF
Treatment of 6 injections over 12 weeks, administered on weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. All receive Sargramostim (GM-CSF) (70 mcg) injected subcutaneously on days 0 and -2 of each vaccination and may be self administered with appropriate instruction. Participants keep a logbook noting the time and placement of the injection, and will also receive 1.0 ml of emulsion with Montanide alone or with WT-1 peptides plus Montanide which will be administered by a nurse (not self-administered) subcutaneously to the same anatomical site as the GM-CSF as marked by the patient or treating healthcare professional by a permanent marker pen.
Biological: Montanide adjuvant + GM-CSF
Treatment of 6 injections over 12 weeks, administered on weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. All receive Sargramostim (GM-CSF) (70 mcg) injected subcutaneously on days 0 and -2 of each vaccination and may be self administered with appropriate instruction. Participants keep a logbook noting the time and placement of the injection, and will also receive 1.0 ml of emulsion with Montanide alone or with WT-1 peptides plus Montanide which will be administered by a nurse (not self-administered) subcutaneously to the same anatomical site as the GM-CSF as marked by the patient or treating healthcare professional by a permanent marker pen.
Active Comparator: Montanide adjuvant + GM-CSF
The study will be a randomized phase II trial to determine the 1-year progression free survival after treatment with WT-1 analog peptide vaccine in patients with MPM after completion of combined modality therapy.
 Biological: WT-1-vaccine Montanide + GM-CSF

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Senior)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Pathologic diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) confirmed at participating institution.
  2. Positive immunohistochemical staining for WT-1 (greater than 10% of cells).
  3. Completion of multimodality therapy. This must include surgical resection by either pleurectomy/decortication or extrapleural pneumonectomy. The surgery should be performed with the intent of complete resection, though patients with an R1 resection will still be eligible. Patients should have also received treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation. Patients with an R2 resection are also eligible as long as the sites of residual disease is treated post-operatively with radiotherapy.
  4. 4-12 weeks since completion of combined modality therapy.
  5. Age >/= 18 years.
  6. Karnofsky performance status >/= 70%
  7. Hematologic parameters: Absolute neutrophil count >/= 1000/mcL, Platelets > 50 K/mcL.
  8. Biochemical parameters: Total bilirubin </= 2.0 mg/dl, AST and ALT </= 2.5 x upper limits of normal, Creatinine </= 2.0 mg/dl.
  9. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Childbearing potential will be defined as a female that is able to have children that has not been surgically sterilized or amenorrheic for 12 consecutive months. The patient, if a man, agrees to use effective contraception or abstinence.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient is pregnant (confirmed by urine or serum Beta-HCG if applicable) or is breastfeeding.
  2. Patients with active infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal treatments
  3. Patients with a serious unstable medical illness that would prevent compliance with the protocol or another active cancer.
  4. Patients taking systemic corticosteroids.
  5. Patients with a known pre-existing immunodeficiency syndrome.
