judged by the investigator to be clinically significant and precluding informed

consent, participation in the study, or adversely affecting compliance to study

drugs;

10. Active infection requiring IV antibiotics;

11. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies) or active

hepatitis B (HBsAg reactive) or active hepatitis C (HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA]

diagnostic biopsy) within 1 week prior to study entry;

14. Has received a live-virus vaccination within 4 weeks of first study vaccination.

Seasonal flu vaccines that do not contain live virus are permitted;

15. Current or recent (within 4 weeks of first IMU-131 vaccination) treatment with

another investigational drug or participation in another investigational study.

16. Phase 2: Patients with a known diphtheria toxoid hypersensitivity.
