Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Death, and TEAEs With Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) Toxicity Grade 3 or 4
From the first dose of study drug administration until 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration or assessed until cut-off date (15 March 2006)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious AE was an AE that results in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Number of participants with TEAEs, serious TEAEs, TEAEs leading to death, and TEAEs with CALGB toxicity Grade 3 or 4 were reported.

Overall Survival Time
Time from randomization to death or last day known to be alive, reported between day of first participant randomized that is, 08 August 2000, up to cut-off (15 March 2006)

Time from randomization to death or last day known to be alive. Participants without event were censored at the last date known to be alive or at the clinical cut-off date (15 March 2006), whichever was earlier.

Secondary Endpoints
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-L) Questionnaire Score
At baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and then at 12 Week intervals beginning at week 19 until withdrawal/discontinuation from the study.
Number of Participants With Positive T-cell Proliferation
Time from randomization until cut-off date (15 March 2006)
Number of Participants With Elevated CA27-29 Antigen Levels

NameTypeDescription
Tecemotide (L-BLP25)BIOLOGICALAfter receiving single low dose cyclophosphamide, subjects will receive 8 consecutive weekly subcutaneous vaccinations with 1000 microgram (mcg) of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 followed by maintenance vaccinations (1000 mcg of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at 6-week intervals, commencing at Week 13, until discontinuation from the study due to ECOG status of 4, participation in alternate trial, serious adverse event, or reasons that preclude assessment of clinical status in the opinion of the investigator, and in case of unavailability of study vaccine.
Single low dose cyclophosphamideDRUGA single intravenous 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.
Best Supportive Care (BSC)OTHERThe BSC will be provided at the investigator's discretion, and may include palliative radiation, psychosocial support, analgesics and nutritional support. Second-line chemotherapy is permitted when indicated for treatment of progressive disease.
