NCT00091676

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this Phase 3 study is to definitively confirm the safety and efficacy of BiovaxId, an autologous tumor derived immunoglobulin idiotype vaccine, as measured by a significant prolongation of the period of disease free survival when administered to patients with indolent follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) during their first complete remission.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To demonstrate prolongation of the period of Disease Free Survival (significant prolongation of the period of complete remission) in idiotype vaccine treated patients

    until date of relapse

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To determine the ability of the idiotype vaccine to produce a molecular complete remission

    once subject achieves molecular CR

  • To determine the impact of molecular disease free survival

    until relapse

  • To assess the ability of the idiotype vaccine to generate an immunologic response against the NHL tumor

    varies

  • To compare the overall survival of subjects randomized to receive either treatment

    minimum 5 years from last subject randomized

  • To confirm the safety of 5 monthly injections of the vaccine with GM-CSF

    4 days
