Collection of Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood (PB), Epithelial Tissue, and Saliva Samples From Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) to Identify MDS-Specific Antigens (MSA) for Use in Cellular Immunotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to collect information and bone marrow, blood, saliva, cheek
cells and skin to be used in the laboratory to assist the sponsor in identifying a new way of
treating MDS.

Goals of the study:

The purpose of this study is to collect the blood and marrow samples, and non-involved
fibroblasts, that are required to identify the unique, personalized array of mutation-driven
neoantigens that are expressed by the subject's MDS cells and to assess the feasibility of
immunizing and expanding one or more of the patient's T cells ex vivo for investigation of
their use as adoptive cellular immunotherapy.

Patients must meet the following initial inclusion criteria:

- Diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of MDS or CCUS
