This phase I trial studies the best dose and how well donor-derived multi-tumor-associated antigen specific T cells work in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Tumor associated antigen-specific T cells are immune system cells that may target cell proteins specific to tumor cells. Giving tumor associated antigen-specific T cells may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety of an intravenous injection of donor-derived multi-tumor associated antigen (multiTAA)-specific T cells, administered as prophylaxis or treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain information on the expansion, persistence and anti-tumor effects of the adoptively transferred donor-derived multiTAA-specific T cells in patients with AML or MDS.
II. To determine whether multiTAA-specific T cells can increase the spectrum of epitopes/antigens targeted by endogenous T cells (epitope spreading).
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.
Participants receive donor-derived WT1/PRAME/NY-ESO-1/survivin-specific T-lymphocytes intravenously (IV) over 1-10 minutes on day 0. Beginning 4 weeks after infusion, participants who achieve partial response, complete response or stable disease may receive 6 additional doses every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, then at 3, 6, and 12 months, and then annually for up to 4 years.
