Study Overview
Brief Summary
Immune modulating effects and safety of Vvax001; different dosages will be tested in patients with a history of (pre) malignant cervical lesions.
Detailed Description
Vvax001 is a therapeutic cancer vaccine consisting of a replication-incompetent Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) vector encoding HPV-derived tumor antigens. Patients will receive three consecutive doses, with an interval of 3 weeks.
