Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine if the event-free survival (EFS) of subjects treated with Regimen 1 (IRX-2 Regimen with cyclophosphamide, indomethacin, zinc, omeprazole and IRX-2) is longer than for subjects treated with Regimen 2 (Regimen 1 with cyclophosphamide, indomethacin, zinc, omeprazole but without IRX-2). Key exploratory objectives for the detection of biological activity, prognostic and predictive factors, and clinical-pathologic-immunologic correlates, are included and defined in the protocol. The key exploratory endpoints will be analysed separately from, and not affect the primary endpoint analysis.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are: 1. to determine if OS of subjects treated with Regimen 1 is longer than for subjects treated with Regimen 2; 2. to compare the safety of each Regimen; 3. to compare the feasibility of each Booster Regimen.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is event-free survival (EFS). Progression prior to surgical resection will not be considered an Event, but failure to resect tumor that was apparent at randomization for any reason or the presence of gross residual disease at surgery will be considered an Event. Progression after resection should be confirmed by biopsy, but in the absence of biopsy confirmation, unequivocal clinical evidence of progression in the primary or nodal sites or distant metastatic disease using RECIST v1.1 criteria will be accepted as progression. Scans (CT, MRI or PET) should be performed to restage disease and establish patterns of relapse. The date of progression will be the date on which the decision not to resect tumor that was apparent at randomization is made or the date upon which the Investigator first observes recurrent locoregional or metastatic disease by physical or radiologic examination. Death for any cause will also be considered an Event. Diagnosis of a second malignancy will not be considered an Event, but date of diagnosis, site and histology will be

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints are overall survival (OS) and safety and feasibility. Survival data will be collected in all subjects (phone contact after progression will be sufficient). When the subject comes to clinic and/or is contacted by phone, the date of that contact is to be reported as an update of the subject’s survival. Safety of each Regimen and feasibility of the Booster Regimens will be assessed by the incidence and severity of AEs, SAEs, and subject discontinuations.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Survival data will be collected at each study visit after surgery at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 months with telephone calls for survival status to occur every 3 months if subject is not seen in follow-up until data collection ceases. All subjects will be assessed for AEs as detailed in the study schedule. AEs will be measured from day of randomisation until 30 days post-surgery and subsequently from the first day of each booster Regimen until 30 days after the completion. SAEs will be measured from day of randomization until the subject ends the trial.
