These tests musts be done no more than 3 weeks before the first ASCI administration.
7.Female patients of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study. Non-childbearing potential is defined as current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.
8.Female patients of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the patient:
•has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to the study product administration, and
•has a negative pregnancy test on the day of administration, and
•has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after the completion of the study product administration series.
A pregnancy test must be done no more than 1 week before the first ASCI administration.
9.In the view of the investigator, the patient can and will comply with all the requirements of the protocol.

Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
1.The patient has at any time received systemic chemotherapy, (bio)-chemotherapy or CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies for metastatic disease.
Note: Isolated limb perfusion, as long as this was performed at least 4 weeks before registration into this trial, is authorized.
2.The patient is scheduled to receive any other anticancer treatment than those specified in the protocol, including but not limited to (bio)-chemotherapeutic or immunomodulating agents and radiotherapy.
3.The patient has received any cancer immunotherapy containing the PRAME antigen or any cancer immunotherapy for his/her metastatic disease.
Note: Previous adjuvant treatment with interferon, anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody or a cancer immunotherapeutic (“vaccine”) containing a tumor antigen other than PRAME is allowed, if the last administration of this was given at least 8 weeks before the first ASCI injection.
4.The patient requires concomitant treatment (more than 7 consecutive days) with systemic corticosteroids or any other immunosuppressive agents.
Exception: The use of prednisone, or equivalent, at a dose of less than or equal to 0.125 mg/kg/day (absolute maximum 10 mg/day), inhaled corticosteroids or topical steroids is permitted.
5.Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine, except influenza vaccine) other than the study product within the 30 days preceding the first ASCI dose injection or planned use during the study period
6.The patient has (had) previous or concomitant malignancies at other sites (including carcinoma in situ), except effectively treated non-melanoma skin cancers or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or effectively treated malignancy that has been in remission for over 5 years and is highly likely to have been cured.
7.The patient has an allergy to any component of the study investigational product or has a history of previous allergic reactions to vaccinations.
8.The patient has a history of confirmed adrenal dysfunction.
9.The patient has an autoimmune disease such as, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with vitiligo are not excluded.
10.The patient is known to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
11.The patient has an uncontrolled bleeding disorder.
12.The patient has a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
13.The patient has psychiatric or addictive disorders that may compromise his/her ability to give informed consent or to comply with the trial procedures.
14.The patient has other concurrent severe medical problems, unrelated to the malignancy, that would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose the patient to unacceptable risk.
15.For female patients: the patient is pregnant or lactating.

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Co-primary endpoints for the Phase I segment:
1. Dose-limiting toxicity endpoint
•Occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity will be followed in all patients during the study treatment and until the end of follow-up.
Criteria/definitions:
•An ASCI related or possibly ASCI related grade 3 or higher toxicity. Grade 3 myalgia, arthralgia, headache, fever, rigors/chills and fatigue (including lethargy, malaise and asthenia) should persist for 48 hours despite therapy in order to be considered as a dose limiting toxicity.
•An ASCI related or possibly ASCI related grade 2 or higher allergic reaction occurring within 24 hours following the ASCI administration..
•An ASCI related or possibly ASCI related decrease in renal function, with a creatinine clearance < 40 mL/min.
•An ASCI-related or possibly ASCI-related symptomatic and confirmed adrenal insufficiency.
2. Immunogenicity endpoint
•Anti-PRAME humoral immune response after ASCI dose 4 (at Visit 5).

Co-primary endpoints of the Phase II segment:
1. Clinical activity endpoint
•Clinical activity in terms of objective clinical responses (CR and PR).
2. Safety endpoint
•Occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity will be followed in all patients during the study treatment and until the end of the follow-up
Main Objective: Co-primary objectives of the Phase I segment:
To characterize
•The occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity.
•The anti-PRAME humoral immune response
Co-primary objectives of Phase II segment:
To characterize
•The clinical activity in terms of objective response.
•The occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity

Secondary Objective: For each dose tested in the Phase I segment and for the dose selected for the phase II segment:
To characterize
•Additional clinical indicators of clinical activity in the overall study cohort and in the subgroup of patients who present the predictive MAGE-A3 gene signature.
•Additional indicators of safety.
•The specific humoral and cellular immune response elicited by the recPRAME + AS15 ASCI.
