Conditions
Brief summary
The study evaluates the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response in HLA-A\*02 positive patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy treated with a prostate-specific peptide vaccine in combination with different immune-adjuvants.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline in Immune Response at day 70 | Days 0-70 | Immune Response, as measured by the change of in vitro and in vivo T cell response from baseline at day 0 to day 70 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerability | Days 0-420 | Tolerability, as measured by number of Participants with Adverse Events |
| Treatment response | Months 0-60 | Treatment response, from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression as measured by PSA-value |
