Intervention(s):

Intervention group (VAXIRA®): 1mg, intradermic. Treatment duration: 15 doses, the first five immunizations will be administered every 14 days and the rest will be administered every 28 days during 1 year while patient’s conditions allow it.

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Overall Survival (Time from randomization until death or date of last news). Measurement time: monthly for 1 year.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 y QLQ-LC13). Measurement time: inclusion, every 3 months for a year. 2. Toxicity (Measurable by: occurrence of any AE (Yes/No)-Description of the AE (Name of the adverse event)-Duration of the AE (difference between the initial date and the termination date of the AE)-Intensity of the AE (1. Mild, 2. Moderate, 3. Severe, 4. Extremely severe, 5. Death)-Severity (1. Serious, 2. No serious)-Result (1. Recovered, 2. Enhanced, 3. Persists or Squeals)-Attitude towards treatment (1. Unchanged, 2. Dose modification, 3. Temporary interruption, 4. Definitive interruption)-Causality relationship (1. Very likely/sure/definitive, 2. Probable, 3. Possible, 4. Unlikely, 5. Not related, 6. Not evaluable/unclassified). Measurement time: monthly during 1 year. 3. Humoral Immune Response (measurable by: Ab response against VAXIRA (yes, no)-Response against NGGM3 (yes no)-Response against tumor antigens (yes/no; response-generating antigen). Measurement time: every three months for 1 year. 4. Cellular immune response (Measurable by: level of subpopulations (in %)-T lymphocyte mitogen activation capacity (in %). 5. Level of inflammatory cytokines: (in pg/mL). Measurement time: baseline and then every three months for 1 year. 6. Baseline EGF concentration (in pg/mL). Measurement time: baseline and then every three months for a year. 7. EGFR expression (Measurable by crosses: mild (+), moderate (++), high (+++), none (0). Measurement time: before starting treatment. 8. Biochemical parameters (measured by: hemoglobin (g/L)-leukogram with differential (cells/L), hematocrit (%)-platelets (-TOG (UI/L)-TGP-(UI/L)-bilirrubine (mg/dL)-glucose (mg/dL)-alkaline phostatase (UI/L), LDH (UI/L)-creatinine (mg/dL). Measurement time (baseline and then every three months for a year). 9. Objective Response (According to RECIST v. 1.1 criteria classified as Complete Response, Partial Response, Stable Disease, or Progressive disease). Measurement time: every three months for 1 year.
