Safety Study of NY-ESO-1 Protein Vaccine to Treat Cancer Expressing NY-ESO-1

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of repeated doses of cholesterol-bearing hydrophobized pullulan (CHP) and NY-ESO-1 protein (CHP-NY-ESO-1) and describe the NY-ESO-1 specific-humoral and cellular immune response to immunization with CHP-NY-ESO-1 in patients with cancer expressing NY-ESO-1.
