Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Biological therapies, such as GM-CSF, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF may kill more cancer cells.

Cytologically or histologically confirmed diagnosis of 1 of the following:

Acute myeloid leukemia, meeting the following criteria:
• Documented Wilms tumor-1 (WT-1)-positive disease demonstrated by WT-1 protein on a pretreatment bone marrow biopsy OR detectable disease with real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR)
• Completed induction chemotherapy, achieved clinical remission, and completed postremission therapy OR achieved clinical remission and have no plans for further postremission chemotherap y (? 65 years of age)

Myelodysplastic syndromes, meeting the following criteria:

• Documented WT-1-positive disease demonstrated by WT-1 protein on a pretreatment bone marrow biopsy OR detectable disease by RQ-PCR
• International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) score of ? Int-2
• Not a candidate for cytotoxic chemotherapy

Non-small cell lung cancer, meeting the following criteria:
• Positive tumor staining for WT-1 in > 10% of cells
• Stage III or IV disease
• Completed chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiotherapy

Mesothelioma, meeting the following criteria:

• Positive tumor staining for WT-1 in > 10% of cells
• Unresectable or relapsed disease
• Chemo-naive or received 1 prior chemotherapy regimen
• Malignant pleural mesothelioma or peritoneal mesothelioma
