Summary

Tecemotide (L-BLP25) is believed to induce a Mucinous glycoprotein 1 (MUC1)-specific T-cell response after vaccination. The primary purpose of this study is to ascertain whether vaccination with tecemotide (L-BLP25) induces a MUC1-specific T-cell response in slowly progressive or chemotherapy naive multiple myeloma subjects.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Tecemotide (L-BLP25)

After receiving single low dose of cyclophosphamide, subjects will receive 8 consecutive weekly subcutaneous vaccinations with 806 microgram (mcg) of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 followed by maintenance vaccinations (806 mcg of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at 6-Week intervals, commencing at Week 14, until disease progression requiring anti-tumor therapy is documented.

BIOLOGICAL

Tecemotide (L-BLP25)

After receiving multiple low dose of cyclophosphamide, subjects will receive 8 consecutive weekly subcutaneous vaccinations with 806 mcg of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 followed by maintenance vaccinations (806 mcg of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at 6-Week intervals, commencing at Week 14, until disease progression requiring anti-tumor therapy is documented.

DRUG

Single low dose cyclophosphamide

An intravenous (IV) infusion of 300 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) (to a maximum 600 mg) of cyclophosphamide will be given 3 days before the first vaccine treatment.

DRUG

Multiple low dose cyclophosphamide

An IV infusion of 300 mg/m\^2 (to a maximum 600 mg) of cyclophosphamide will be given 3 days before the first vaccine treatment plus an intravenous dose of cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m\^2, to a maximum of 600 mg) 3 days prior to the tecemotide (LBLP25) administration at week 5 of the weekly treatment phase and 3 days prior to every tecemotide (L-BLP25) administration during the treatment phase with 6-Weekly administration of tecemotide (L-BLP25), commencing at Week 14 up to a maximum treatment period of 2 years.
