What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment-related Toxicity

    When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v3) will be counted only once for a given subject.

    Time frame: 3.5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Fold change in amount of interferon gamma-producing Ep-CAM-specific CD8 T cells after vaccination

    Time frame: 5 years
