Study Number 204411
PhaseI/II
Summary

The study is composed of two phases:  Phase 1 and Phase 2.  The purpose of the Phase 1 study is to test an investigational study drug (vaccine) called DPX-Survivac.  In this study, the sponsor and investigators want to learn the safety profile of one dose level of study drug alone and two dose levels with cyclophospamide.  In Phase 1 portion of this study, the safety profile and immune response following one cycle of 3 vaccinations will help the sponsor determine which dose level of the study drug with cyclophosphamide should be further investigated in the Phase 2 study.  For Phase 1 portion, there are 10 study visits for a total of approximately 8 months in duration.
