Cancers expressing HER-2 and/or CEA
Brief summary
Treatment of patients with cancer types known to express the HER-2 and/or CEA tumor antigens.
Detailed description
The optional followup period for this study is 1 year after the last vaccination.
Interventions
V930 - Over a 94 week duration, patients will receive a series of 5 injections (2.5 mg/injection), one every other week. Within 2 minutes of each injection of V930, each patient will be given an EP-IM injection consisting of two 60 msec pulses.
V932 - Over a 94 week duration, patients will receive a series of 5 injections, 6 patients will initially received intramuscular V932 vaccinations at a low dose (0.5x109 vg/injection),and following a safety assessment, up to an additional 35 patients will be treated with the high dose V932 (0.5x1011 vg/injection).
