Experimental Treatment
Group I: DPX-E7 [Phase II Cohort 2]Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants were enrolled after amendment 10. Participants received two 0.50 mL priming doses of DPX-E7 3 weeks apart, followed by 0.2 mL booster dose every 8 weeks until clinical progression.
Group II: DPX-E7 + Cyclophosphamide [Phase Ib Cohort]Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants received: 1) 50 mg twice per day of cyclophosphamide orally 7 days before the vaccination, continuing for 7 days on and then 7 days off, throughout the treatment period; 2) two 0.25 mL priming doses of DPX-E7 3 weeks apart, followed by 0.1 mL booster dose every 8 weeks until clinical progression.
Group III: DPX-E7 + Cyclophosphamide [Phase II Cohort 1]Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
