Study Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel groups Phase II trial. Patients with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer, defined as a lack of progression by RECIST v1.1 criteria following completion of standard-of-care chemotherapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of a platinum-containing regimen. Patients will be randomized to either the vaccine regimen with GM-CSF adjuvant or GM-CSF adjuvant alone as a control group. Treatment will be administered as a consolidation therapy within one year of the last administration of platinum, targeting the first remission.

Primary Outcome

Time to disease progression or recurrence of ovarian cancer defined as disease progression by RECIST 1.1., disease recurrence, death without progression or CA125 progression

Interventions

  • BIOLOGICAL FRα peptide plus Adjuvant (GM-CSF)
  • DRUG Adjuvant (GM-CSF) Alone
