Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Phase I Part: Safety of the vaccine Phase IIa Part: Immune response against the p16_37-63 peptide;Secondary Objective: Phase I Part: Immune response against the p16_37-63 peptide Tumor response Phase IIa Part: Safety of the vaccine Tumor response ;Primary end point(s): Phase IIa: Immune response against peptide P16_37-63. A positive immune response is defined as positive DTH response against peptide P16_37-63 or a humoral (ELISA for the detection of p16-specific IgG/IgM/IgA) and/or CD8 and/or CD4 cellular (IFN gamma ELISpot for the detection of p16INK4a-specific T cells) immune response exceeding the assay specific cut-off values for a positive response against peptide P16_37-63.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: humoral immune response at weeks 1, 3, 9, 11, 17, 19, 25 cellular immune response and DTH: weeks 1, 9, 17, 25. | — |
