Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Cvac
Treatment: Other - Placebo
Experimental: Part A - Cvac - Participants received intradermal injections of Cvac given at 4-week intervals for the first 3 doses, and then every 12 weeks for 3 additional doses, for a total of 6 doses over 44 weeks. Each injection had an approximate concentration of 60 × 10\^6 viable dendritic cells/mL.
Placebo comparator: Part A - Placebo - Participants received intradermal injections of placebo given at 4-week intervals for the first 3 doses, and then every 12 weeks for 3 additional doses, for a total of 6 doses over 44 weeks.
Experimental: Part B - Cvac - Participants received intradermal injections of Cvac given at 4-week intervals for the first 3 doses, and then every 12 weeks for 3 additional doses, for a total of 6 doses over 44 weeks. Each injection had an approximate concentration of 60 × 10\^6 viable dendritic cells/mL.
No intervention: Part B - Observational standard of care - Participants in this group did not receive any treatment during the study.
Treatment: Other: Cvac
Injections were done at 4 anatomical sites, 1 injection in each of the upper portions of both arms and both thighs.
Treatment: Other: Placebo
Injections were done at 4 anatomical sites, 1 injection in each of the upper portions of both arms and both thighs.
Placebo consisted of the Cvac formulation buffer (5% HSA, 10% DMSO) with 0.9% simethicone provided in 1 mL vials that had been cryopreserved and stored at the manufacturing facility.

Progression-free survival was defined as the number of days from Baseline and the documented disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) or death, whichever occurred earlier. Disease progression was defined as any measurable new lesion(s) that were accurately measured in at least 1 dimension. Any new lesion(s) with a minimum size of 20 mm were deemed as unequivocal (ie, clear or definite) progression. Any new lesion(s) with a minimum size of 15 mm but smaller than 20 mm were considered equivocal progression and had to be confirmed by a follow-up radiological procedure.

Summary
Brief summary
As \< 10% of the necessary patients required by the protocol were recruited and the data were not intended to support a labeling claim, it was determined that the abbreviated clinical study report (CSR) was the appropriate reporting format. No efficacy analyses were performed as the trial was terminated early with incomplete enrollment of \< 10%. The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational cell therapy called Cvac can help epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) from returning when administered to patients who are in complete remission after surgical removal of their tumor followed by standard first-line (Part A) or second-line (Part B) chemotherapy. Following remission, patients will undergo leukapheresis for the manufacture of the study agent. After completion of chemotherapy and confirmation of remission, patients will enter the treatment phase of the study.
