| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a DNA immunisation approach where tetwtCEA DNA will be administered in combination with electroporation;Secondary Objective: - To assess the efficiency of priming immunological responses to CEA by intradermal administration of tetwtCEA DNA in combination with electroporation - To assess the efficiency of boosting immunological responses to CEA by intradermal administration of tetwtCEA DNA in combination with electroporation in subjects already vaccinated with CEA DNA - To evaluate tumour recurrence and patient survival in relation to vaccine-induced immune responses. - To compare effects of additional adjuvans with GM-CSF.;Primary end point(s): -The primary end point is to determine safety and immunogenicity of delivery of tetwtCEA DNA vaccine in combination with electroporation. | — |
