Inclusion Criteria

Female aged =18 years
Patients with histologically confirmed, FIGO (Féderation Internationale
de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique) stage III epithelial ovarian, primary
peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma (serous, endometrioid or
mucinous), who have undergone initial or interval debulking surgery
but have not reached complete remission of more than 6 months after
first line Platinum (Pt) based chemotherapy, for one of the following
reasons:
Patients are Pt-refractory (no response)
Complete remission was not reached (partial responders)
Relapse within =6 months of remission (Pt-resistant)

Pt-based chemotherapy failure should have been confirmed by computerized tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (Pt-resistant) or by finding described as ‘did not reach complete clinical remission’ (Pt-refractory or Pt-partial response)

Patients must have at least one measureable target lesion as defined by
the RECIST 1.1 criteria

Laboratory criteria (results must be obtained <14 days before randomization, including results obtained before giving informed consent):
White blood cells (WBC) >4,000/mm3 (4.0 x109/L)
Neutrophil count >1,500/mm3 (1.5 x109/L)
Hemoglobin of at least 10g/dL (100g/L)
Platelet count of at least 100,000/mm3 (100 x109/L)
Total bilirubin within normal limits (benign hereditary hyperbilirubinaemias, e.g. Gilbert´s syndrome are permitted)
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <2x upper limit of normal (ULN), serum
creatinine =2.0mg/dL
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) <2.0x ULN

Adequate coagulation parameters (results must be obtained <14 days before randomization, including results obtained before giving
informed consent):
Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) =1.5x ULN and
International Normalized Ratio (INR) =1.5

Life expectancy of at least 12 months based on Investigators judgment

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-2

Signed informed consent including patient’s ability to comprehend its
contents

Females of childbearing potential must have had a negative serum
pregnancy test at screening (ß-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-HCG])
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30

Malignancy other than epithelial ovarian cancer, except those that have
been in CR for a minimum of 3 years, and except carcinoma in-situ of

History of severe forms of primary immune deficiencies
History or anaphylaxis or other serious reaction following
vaccination
Uncontrolled co-morbidities including, psychiatric or social
conditions which, in the Investigator’s opinion, would prevent
participation in the trial

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To determine the effect of adding DCVAC/OvCa to Standard of Care<br>chemotherapy on OS in women with ovarian cancer who experienced<br>relapse =6 months after achieving complete remission following<br>standard first line (Pt-based) chemotherapy or did not reach complete<br>remission;Secondary Objective: Progression free survival (PFS)<br><br>Objective response rate (ORR) = complete response(CR) + partial<br>response (PR)<br><br>Biological progression free interval<br><br>Immunological response<br><br>Safety<br><br>Changes in quality of life (QoL);Primary end point(s): OS (overall survival) defined as the time from randomization until death due to any cause;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time from randomization until death due to any cause
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): PFS measured by modified RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In<br>Solid Tumors) criteria version 1.1. PFS is defined as the time from<br>randomization to tumor progression or death from any cause.<br>ORR = CR + PR measured by the RECIST 1.1 criteria<br><br>Biological progression free interval defined by increasing CA 125<br>levels (PFIBIO) (Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup [GCIG]:<br>http://www.gcig.igcs.org/CA125/respdef_nov2005.pdf)<br><br>Immunological response – detection of entire anti-tumor response<br>(samples to be collected and frozen);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PFS will be measured at the End of Study and the median PFS will be presented if at least 50% of patients progress.<br>
