Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for DLI Primary · Day 43 (6 weeks)

The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety (MTD) of CD25/Treg-depleted donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) plus Ipilimumab in patients with myeloid relapse after matched-HCT. Participants will be evaluated for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at day 43. DLTs explained within section 5.4 of the protocol.

Response Rate as Determined by Complete Remission (CR) and CR With Incomplete Count Recovery (CRi) Secondary · Day 43 (6 weeks)

Complete remission will be evaluated for each disease, along with duration of complete remission. AML morphological complete remission can be found in Appendix E (E.1.1.), and Relapse from CR/CRi is in E.1.3. MDS/MPN complete remission criteria is found in Appendix F (F.1.1), and criteria for relapse is found in F.1.5.

Sponsor's own description

In this research study, our main goal for the ipilimumab portion of the study is to determine the highest dose of ipilimumab that can be given safely in several courses and to determine what side effects are seen in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or Myelofibrosis (MF).
