Study objectivesOur aim is to demonstrate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of vaccination with mHag HA1 or HA2 peptides on day +120 after HLA-identical allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with mHag disparate donor recipient pairs. We reason that vaccination with recipient mHag will boost the graft-versus-leukaemia effect of HSCT and thus lower the incidence of relapse in patients with high risk haematological malignancies.
Ethics approval(s)1. MHH Ethics committee received on 30th May 2007 (ref: 3578)
2. Paul-Ehrlich-Institute received on 12th February 2007 (ref: 1179/01)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHaematological malignacies/leukaemic relapse
InterventionAll patients will receive immunisation with mHA1 or 2 peptides in HLA-A2 patients with donor-recipient disparities in mHA1 or 2.

Historical controls will be used for evaluation of a benefit for patients with HA1 disparities and advanced haematological malignancies.

Duration of intervention per patient/subject: 18 months after vaccination.
