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.
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.

| Tecemotide (L-BLP25) | BIOLOGICAL | After 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 cyclophosphamide | DRUG | A 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) | OTHER | The 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. |
