i. not a candidate for allogeneic HSCT or no intention to move to HSCT at time of enrollment.

ii. Patient's AML could be in morphologic CR or no further cytotoxic chemotherapy is currently being considered.

iii. Completed consolidation chemotherapy, if available and/or appropriate for patient.

iv. Can have history of allogeneic HSCT transplant, but must be off immunosuppression for at least 2 wks. before enrollment and w/o GVHD and/or toxicities from HSCT.

b. Diagnosed in past 5 years w/ smoldering MM at high risk of progressing to symptomatic MM.

i. Diagnosis defined as: Bone marrow infiltration with plasma cells (PCs) ≥10% and presence of a monoclonal component, Ig G ≥3 g/dl or IgA ≥2 g/dl or Bence-Jones proteinuria >1 g/dl and absence of lytic lesions on skeletal survey, absence of hypercalcemia (corrected calcium <11 mg/dl), absence of renal failure (creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN), and absence of anemia (hemoglobin >10 g/dl or not 2 g/dl below LLN).

ii. Must meet one of following:

• ≥10% PCs in bone marrow and IgG ≥3 g/dl or IgA ≥2 g/dl,

Stable disease or better per IMWG based on 2 subsequent assessments at least one month apart d. history of morphologically confirmed MDS i. previously received at least one treatment for MDS, including but not limited to chemotherapy or hypomethylating agent(s). Subjects may be previously untreated if they refuse treatment with or are not appropriate candidates for chemotherapy or hypomethylating agent(s) in the investigator's opinion.

ii. intermediate, high, or very high risk MDS by IPSS-r iii. No curative intent option of allogeneic HSCT or refused consideration for allogeneic HSCT iv. Could have history of allogeneic HSCT transplant and relapsed, but must be off immunosuppression for at least 2 weeks before enrollment and without GVHD and/or toxicities from HSCT.

2. Low, moderate, to high levels of OFA expression by IHC analysis of tumor specimens.

3. HLA-A*02 haplotype.

4. ECOG performance status 0 to 2.

• PLT ≥25,000/mm3 and may be transfused
• Hgb >8 g/dL (may have been transfused)
• Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN
• Total bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dL, unless elevated bilirubin due to Gilbert's syndrome
