Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - GSK 2132231A
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: MAGE-A3 Group - Patients who received up to 13 doses of recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI. Study products were administered as intramuscular (IM) injections in the deltoid or the lateral region of the thigh (not in anatomical regions where lymph nodes had been excised): 5 doses of ASCI product at 3-week intervals, followed by 8 doses of ASCI product at 12-week intervals.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo Group - Patients who received up to 13 doses of placebo. Study products were administered as intramuscular (IM) injections in the deltoid or the lateral region of the thigh (not in anatomical regions where lymph nodes had been excised): 5 doses of placebo at 3-week intervals, followed by 8 doses of placebo at 12-week intervals.


Treatment: Drugs: GSK 2132231A
IM solution, a course of 13 injections administered over 27 months

Key exclusion criteria
- The patient suffers from a mucosal or ocular melanoma.
