1. STUDY SYNOPSIS 
 
 
Study Title 
and number 
A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled phase II trial to evaluate the 
safety and efficacy of  recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI in patients with MAGE-
A3 positive muscle invasive bladder cancer after cystectomy 
 
A European Association of Urology Research Foundation Randomized 
Phase II Clinical Trial. EAU-RF 2010-01 
Rationale 
Currently, the standard treatment for localized muscle invasive bladder 
cancer is radical cystectomy.  
 Many patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer will relapse 
after cystectomy 
The 10-year disease-specific and overall survival of patients with organ 
confined (defined as < pT3a) is 72.9% and 49.1%, rapidly decreasing to 
33.3% and 22.8% for non-organ confined disease (13). There is thus a clear 
medical need for an additional anti-tumoral treatment in this population. 
 There is not enough evidence in favour of the routine use of 
adjuvant chemotherapy 
From scientific evidence so far available, it is unclear whether immediate 
adjuvant chemotherapy or chemotherapy at the time of relapse is superior or 
if the two approaches are equivalent with respect to the end-point overall 
survival. 
 MAGE-A3 is a factor of poor prognosis 
The interest in recMAGE-A3 ASCI treatment is further reinforced by the 
possible link between MAGE-A3 expression and shorter survival (34) 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

 MAGE-A3 is tumor-specific, recMAGE-A3 ASCI treatment 
highly tolerated and shows promising Phase II results 
Taking into account the tumor-specificity of MAGE-A3, the high tolerability 
of recMAGE-A3 + AS15 and the promising results from the Phase II clinical 
trials in melanoma and lung cancer, EAU RF proposes to initiate a 
randomized, placebo-controlled clinical Phase II trial with recombinant 
MAGE-A3 (recMAGE-A3) combined with the AS15 adjuvant in patients 
with muscle invasive bladder cancer with MAGE-A3 expression after 
cystectomy. 
 
This trial will assess whether adjuvant treatment with recMAGE-A3 + AS 
15 ASCI after cystectomy is safe and effective and improves outcome of 
MAGE-A3 positive patients after cystectomy. 
 
The rationale of the MAGNOLIA study has been changed (see added 
section Study Synopsis below and Section 2.6.2). 
Objectives 
The primary objective of this Phase II study is to evaluate the clinical 
efficacy in terms of Disease Free Survival of recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI 
versus placebo in the overall population. 
 
 
Secondary objectives are: 
• 
To evaluate overall survival in the overall study population, in the 
subpopulations with and without use of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and 
in the subpopulations with and without use of adjuvant chemotherapy 
• 
To evaluate Disease-free (DFS) in the subpopulations with and without 
use of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and in the subpopulations with and 
without use of adjuvant chemotherapy. 
• 
To evaluate Disease-free specific survival (DFSS) in the overall study 
population, in the subpopulations with and without use of neo-adjuvant 
chemotherapy and in the subpopulations with and without use of 
adjuvant chemotherapy.

Intervention 
A3 + AS15 ASCI intramuscular injections with Placebo intramuscular 
injections. 
The target was  to enroll 273 patients to be randomly assigned to 2 treatment 
schedules in a 2:1 ratio, 2 patients randomized for recMAGE-A3 + AS15 
ASCI versus 1 patient randomized for placebo, either directly after recovery 
from surgery, or after recovery from adjuvant chemotherapy.  
The treatment scheme consists of 5 doses administered at 3-week intervals 
followed by 8 doses administered at 3-month intervals for a total maximum 
duration of study treatment administration of 27 months.  
Data collection will be organised by Remote Date Entry on Electronic Case 
Report Forms (eCRF).  
Ten European countries are participating with a total of 50 centres. Sites 
contributed 0-28 screened patients in the recruitment period of 40 months.  
Enrolment in this study was competitive.

metastases, were randomized a few days before first study treatment 
administration. At the time of putting the recruitment on hold on 23 
September 2014 (see added section Study Synopsis below and Section 
2.6.2), 83 patient out of the 273 initially foreseen were randomized at 29 
sites.

 
To evaluate Gene expression profiles of the primary tumor by 
microarray.   
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0,  primary and secondary endpoints will not 
be assessed as planned (see added section Study Synopsis below and Section 
2.6.2). 
Nature and 
extent of the 
burden and 
risks 
associated 
with 
participation 
and risk- 
benefit 
Given the situation of the patient who needs a cystectomy, the extra burden 
and risks associated with participation in the study is considered minimal 
and acceptable. During the first 3 months in the study, the number of patient 
visits is higher. This is due to the need for administration of treatment every 
3 weeks. Hereafter, the number of visits and treatments is equal to what 
patients with these criteria is offered when they are treated in the standard 
way, which is watchful waiting after cystectomy. Possible extra procedures 
in this study depend on local routine practices. For example 3-monthly CT 
scans /MRI’s can be extra if 6-monthly imaging procedures are considered 
standard routine practice (during treatment phase only). Also laboratory 
assessments and the questionnaire on smoking habits can be considered as 
extra.  The risks related to the expected treatment outcome, quality and 
quantity of side effects of the study medication can be considered as 
acceptable (see Section 2.5.3). Benefit for the patient is that the patient is 
followed according to the latest standards and guidelines of treatment of 
MIBC and the patient has a chance on early detection of recurrence of 
disease. 
Timing 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0,  the timing of the MAGNOLIA study has 
been changed (see added section Study Synopsis below and section 2.6.2). 
The total duration of the study will be 7 years,  with a recruitment phase of 
40 months  The duration of the treatment period will not exceed 108 weeks 
for any patient, comprising the entire period of treatment administration and 
excluding the concluding visit (Visit 14), provided there are no 
postponements. The concluding visit will take place at least 30 days after the 
patient’s last dose of the study product. Treatment will not be possible 
anymore after 30 November 2016. The 2,5-year active follow-up period 
planned in the initial study protocol has been cancelled.

Protocol 
amendment 
4.0 
Upon release and analysis of the MAGRIT trial results, the rationale of the 
MAGNOLIA study has been changed. As of 23 September 2014, the 
recruitment was put on hold (sites were still allowed until 3 February 2015 
to randomize patients that signed the informed consent or were in the 
screening process).  
 
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals recently reported the negative outcome of the 
MAGE3-AS15-NSC-003 (ADJ) (109493 - EudraCT number: 2007-001283-
73) MAGRIT study (A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 
III study to assess the efficacy of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 Antigen-
Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic as adjuvant therapy in patients with 
resected MAGE-A3-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (53). The 
analysis of MAGRIT confirmed the absence of treatment effect in any of the 
primary, secondary, or exploratory analyses. All aspects of the MAGRIT 
study have been carefully assessed, and unfortunately these investigations 
failed to identify a root cause for the lack of efficacy of the MAGE-A3 
Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) in NSCLC that could 
be corrected in ongoing studies, including the MAGNOLIA study.  
Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the Phase III results, together with 
all other available clinical and laboratory data with various recombinant 
proteins tested in different diseases and settings now suggests that the 
anticancer activity of this technology may well be limited to a subgroup of 
Stage III melanoma patients with a specific predictive gene signature (52). A 
few patients in early metastatic melanoma also appear to benefit from this 
type of treatment. 
Consequently, GSK Biologicals has decided to stop further development of 
recMAGE-A3 + AS15 as a standalone treatment for cancer patients. This 
decision is not motivated by any safety concern as confirmed by all 
Independent Data Monitoring Comittees (IDMCs) overlooking the ASCI 
trials. 
This decision implies that MAGE-A3 +AS15 CI will not be available for 
future treatment of bladder cancer patients which warrants a substantial 
amendment (4.0) of the MAGNOLIA study.

As of  Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the 
study population will be unblinded.  
For patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits will 
be performed except for the concluding visit and no further doses will be 
administered. As it cannot be excluded that one or more patients may benefit 
from this treatment on an individual basis, patients receiving active 
treatment (patients not on placebo, and patients that have not already 
completed or interrupted their MAGE-A3 ASCI treatment) will be offered 
the option to continue the administration of the study treatment until the last 
dose is administered or until recurrence, whichever comes first, or until the 
patient or the investigator decides to stop the study treatment. Therefore, the 
study will continue only with patients from the active treatment group who 
will decide to stay in the study. Treatment will not be possible anymore after 
30 November 2016. 
During the treatment period, safety monitoring will continue as initially 
foreseen during the treatment period. In the best interest of the patient, 
additional biological samples for protocol research purposes (evaluation of 
the immune response, translational research) will not be taken nor collected.  
 
The primary and secondary objectives will not be assessed as planned. All 
clinical data collected in the study will be analysed descriptively. By default, 
for each biological sample already collected in the scope of this study and 
not tested yet, testing will only be done if a scientific rationale remains 
relevant despite the premature termination of the study. In that case, testing 
will be in compliance with the protocol and ICF signed by the patient. The 
immune response will not be evaluated anymore as the immune response to 
IP administration was confirmed in other ASCI trials, but did not show any 
correlation with the potential efficacy.

2. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE 
 
2.1 Epidemiology of Bladder Cancer 
 
In 2006, in Europe, an estimated 104,400 incident cases of bladder cancer were diagnosed, of which 
82,800 were diagnosed in men and 21,600 in women. This represents 6.6% of the total cancers in 
men and 2.1% in women, with an estimated male-to-female ratio of 3.8 : 1. In men, bladder cancer 
was the fourth most common cancer. Bladder cancer resulted in 4.1% of total deaths for cancer in 
men and 1.8% of total deaths in women (1). At the initial diagnosis of bladder cancer, 70% of cases 
are diagnosed as non-muscle-invasive disease and 30% as muscle-invasive disease. Among patients 
treated with radical cystectomy because of muscle-invasive disease, 57% had muscle invasion at 
presentation, while 43% had been initially diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive disease that 
progressed despite organ-preserving treatment (2). Approximately one-third of patients diagnosed 
with muscle-invasive bladder cancer have undetected metastases at the time of treatment of the 
primary tumour (3), while 25% of patients submitted to radical cystectomy present with lymph 
node involvement at the time of surgery. 
 
2.2 Standard Treatment of Bladder Cancer 
 
Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for localized muscle invasive bladder cancer in most 
countries of the Western Hemisphere (4,5). Radical cystectomy also includes the dissection of 
regional lymph nodes. There is a substantial amount of literature about the extent of 
lymphadenectomy. Yet, data regarding its clinical significance is controversial. In retrospective 
studies extended lymphadenectomy (removal of the obturator, internal, external, common iliac and 
presacral nodes as well as nodes at the aortic bifurcation) has been reported to improve survival in 
patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (8). The curative value of lymph node dissection, 
however, is still unknown and a standardized lymph node dissection has yet to be defined (6-8). 
In a comprehensive study regarding long-term results in 1,054 cystectomy patients, perioperative 
mortality was 3%, and early complications, defined as any complication within 3 months of 
surgery, were reported in 28% (9,10). Late morbidity is usually due to the type of urinary diversion. 
Early morbidity associated with radical cystectomy for non-muscle invasive disease (at high risk for 
disease progression) is similar and not less than that associated with muscle invasive tumours (11).

2.3 Survival Results of Standard Treatment 
 
The outcome according to a multiinstitutional database of 888 consecutive patients undergoing 
cystectomy and lymphadenectomy for bladder cancer revealed a mean recurrence-free and bladder 
cancer specific survival of 58% and 66%, resp. at 5 years (12). The recurrence-free and overall 
survival in a large single centre study of 1,054 male and female patients was 68% and 66% at 5 
years and 60% and 43%, at 10 years, respectively (5). In node positive patients, 10-year disease-
specific and overall survival rates in another study have been reported to be 27.7% and 20.9% 
respectively (13). In this cohort, 10-year disease-specific and overall survival rates were 72.9% vs. 
49.1% for organ confined (defined as < pT3a), and 33.3% vs. 22.8% for non-organ confined disease 
(13). In another study, 5-year recurrence-free survival was 76% in patients with pT1 tumours, 74% 
for pT2, 52% in pT3, and 36% in pT4 tumours (14). Tumour stage and nodal involvement are the 
only independent predictors of survival (15).  
Local recurrence accounts for about 30% of relapses, whereas distant metastases are more common. 
Before the development of effective chemotherapy, patients with metastatic urothelial cancer rarely 
exceeded the median survival of 3-6 months (16).  Chemotherapy increases overall survival in 
patients with relapse after cystectomy or unresectable disease. 
 
2.4 Adjuvant Chemotherapy 
 
The value of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients after radical cystectomy with pT3/4 and/or lymph 
node positive (N+) disease without clinically detectable metastases (M0) is under debate (17,18).  
 
The benefits of chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting include: 
• Chemotherapy is administered after accurate pathological staging 
• Overtreatment in patients at low risk for micrometastases is avoided 
• Compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, there is no delay in definitive surgical treatment, 
especially in patients not sensitive to chemotherapy. 
 
The drawbacks of adjuvant chemotherapy are: 
• Assessment of in-vivo chemosensitivity of the tumour is not possible 
• Delay or intolerability of chemotherapy, due to post-operative morbidity 
• Chemotherapy related morbidity and impact on quality of life.

There is not enough evidence in favour of the routine use of adjuvant chemotherapy (18, 24). To 
date, there have been only five published randomized trials of adjuvant chemotherapy (19-23) and 
one meta-analysis (24), with updated individual patient data from six trials and a total of only 491 
patients for survival analysis. 
Furthermore, all these trials are sub-optimal with serious deficiencies, such as low sample size 
(underpowered), use of substandard chemotherapy, early stopping of patient entry and flaws in 
design and statistical analysis, including irrelevant endpoints or a lack of recommendations 
concerning salvage chemotherapy for relapse or metastases (18). The data are not convincing 
enough to give an unequivocal recommendation for the use of adjuvant chemotherapy. 
From the evidence so far available, it is unclear whether immediate adjuvant chemotherapy or 
chemotherapy at the time of relapse is superior or if the two approaches are equivalent with respect 
to the end-point overall survival. In recent trial updates, cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy 
was able to produce long-term disease-free survival, even in metastatic disease, albeit mainly in 
patients with lymph node metastases only and in good PS (25-27). Published trials of randomized 
adjuvant chemotherapy have used 3-4 cycles of CMV (cisplatin, methotrexate, vinblastine), CISCA 
(cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and adriamycine), MVA(E)C (methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycine 
or epirubicine, and cisplatin) and CM (cisplatin, methotrexate) (28).  
 
2.5 recMAGE-A3 Antigen Specific Cancer Immunotherapy (recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI) 
 
The study investigational product is an Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) 
comprising the recombinant antigen ProtD-MAGE-A3/His (recMAGE-A3) and the GSK 
proprietary immunological adjuvant AS15. 
Multiple phase I/II/III studies with the recMAGE-A3 to be used in this study have been performed 
or are in progress. Treatment with recMAGE-A3 was associated with clinical responses mainly in 
metastatic melanoma and NSCLC, including partial responses, some complete responses with 
significant long-term duration. In addition, the safety of this treatment was excellent, and an 
immunological response could be measured in the group of patients administered the adjuvanted 
recMAGE-A3 (29-32) 
Since MAGE-A3 tumour antigen is expressed in approximately 40% (GSK Internal data) of 
patients with bladder cancer, the possibility that recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI may also be an 
efficient therapy in patients with bladder cancer needs to be explored.

2.5.1 MAGE-A3  
 
MAGE genes and, particularly the gene coding for the MAGE-A3 protein, are silent in all normal 
adult tissues with the exception of testis and placenta, but are re-activated in many cancers 
including non-small-cell and small-cell lung carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, 
urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, oesophagus carcinoma and malignant melanoma. The MAGE-
A3 protein is strictly tumor-specific, a finding supported by the fact that its expression is not 
detected by RT-PCR in any normal adult tissue with the exception of testis and placenta. However, 
the normal testis and placenta cells that express the gene do not bear molecules from the major 
histocompatibility complex on their surface and therefore do not present any MAGE-A3 epitope to 
the immune system. 
 
The recMAGE-A3 protein used is a recombinant fusion protein produced in E. Coli, purified and 
freeze –dried in single-dose potions. For administration, the recMAGE-A3 protein is dissolved in a 
GSK proprietary immunostimulatory Adjuvant System immediately before injection. 
 
2.5.2 recMAGE-A3 ASCI preclinical experience 
 
The immune response induced by injections of the recombinant recMAGE-A3 protein formulated in 
different Adjuvant systems was investigated in the mouse model. The recMAGE-A3 protein was 
found to be weakly immunogenic by itself. However, in the presence of an adjuvant 
immunostimulant a robust immune response was induced, including MAGE-A3 –specific 
antibodies and T-cells. Immunized mice were protected against a challenge with tumor cells 
expressing MAGE-A3. 
Extensive preclinical toxicity testing has been performed with the Adjuvant Systems that are used 
with recMAGE-A3, and with the various immunostimulants included in these Adjuvant Systems in 
combination with other cancer antigens (HER2/neu, P501) without any results that would raise 
concern about their safety in humans. See investigator’s brochure. 
 
2.5.3 recMAGE-A3 ASCI clinical experience 
 
In the terminated studies so far, a total of 1605 patients have received recMAGE-A3 alone or 
together with four different Adjuvant Systems, in a total of at least 10546 doses (cut-off date: April, 
2010) (33). The AS15 Adjuvant System appeared to have the strongest and most robust

immunological response and was considered as having the highest potential to lead to improved 
clinical effect. Out of these 1605 patients, 1295 patients have received a total of some 7966 doses of 
the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI. In addition to this, it can be estimated that at least some 220 
patients have been randomized to and received at least one dose of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI 
in the two ongoing large randomized Phase III studies (in patients with NSCLC and melanoma) 
comparing this recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI with placebo, but more exact figures cannot be 
provided because the data from these studies are blinded. 
 
Most of the adverse events observed in all studies were to be anticipated and consist of local and 
systemic reactions (i.e., injection site reactions and constitutional symptoms such as myalgia, 
arthralgia, and fatigue). Almost all such events have been of Grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 symptoms were 
mainly general (i.e., fatigue, myalgia, and rigors/chills), except for local reactions associated with 
redness, pain, or swelling at the injection site; the majority of these symptoms were expected effects 
from using the AS15 adjuvant. Systemic Grade 3 events were rarely considered to be related to 
study treatment. 
 
There were a total of 511 Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in all clinical studies described in the 
Investigators Brochure (33). Of this number, only 23 events (4,5%) in four clinical studies were 
assessed as being possibly related to ASCI or control (placebo) treatment: 
 Study 1: One Grade 3 event (injection site reaction); and one ungraded event (COPD 
exacerbation); 
 Study 2: five Grade 4 events (fatigue, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, neutropenia, 
nonobstructive cardiomyopathy, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura); five Grade 3 
events (pain in extremity, stress cardiomyopathy, pneumonia, Bowen’s disease, 
eczema); four Grade 2 events (pyrexia, influenza-like illness, headache, and one 
unspecified event); and three Grade 1 events (pyrexia, hypersensitivity, COPD); 
 Study 3: one Grade 2 event (allergic reaction); 
 Study 4: one Grade 3 event (erysipelas); and two Grade 2 events (pyrexia, wound 
infection). 
 
Such events have remained isolated cases, and almost all SAEs (488/511, or 95,5%) in these clinical 
studies were assessed by investigators as being unrelated to ASCI or control (placebo) treatment 
(29,33).

Biological indicators of auto-immunity have been observed infrequently. Very rare local clinical 
reactions (i.e. one transient episode of uveitis and one episode of localized vitiligo) and Grade 1-2 
autoimmune events (i.e. hepatitis) have been recorded in three clinical studies where the recMAGE-
AA3 antigen has been combined with two different immunological Adjuvant systems (i.e. CpG 
7909 and AS15). 
 
The non-related reported autoimmunity events were unexpected, as immunization against the 
MAGE-A3 antigen is not expected to lead to autoimmune reactions in humans. Even though a 
reasonable possibility of a causal association between autoimmune hepatitis and the recMAGE-A3 
+ AS15 ASCI has not been established, such an association cannot be excluded. 
 
A large clinical safety database is currently available with the recMAGE-A3 protein in different 
formulations. These data show that these treatments have a very satisfactory safety profile, as most 
of the adverse events observed in all studies were to be anticipated and consist of low grade local 
and systemic reaction (i.e., injection site reactions and constitutional symptoms such as myalgia and 
fatigue). Almost all serious adverse events (488/511, or 95,5%) in these studies were rated by the 
investigators as being unrelated to the study immunization (29,33). 
 
 
2.6.1 Rationale 
 
Currently, the standard treatment for localized muscle invasive bladder cancer is radical 
cystectomy.  
 
 Many patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer will relapse after cystectomy 
The 10-year disease-specific and overall survival of patients with organ confined (defined as < 
pT3a) is 72.9% and 49.1%, rapidly decreasing to 33.3% and 22.8% for non-organ confined disease 
(13). There is thus a clear medical need for an additional anti-tumoral treatment in this population. 
 
 There is not enough evidence in favour of the routine use of adjuvant chemotherapy 
From scientific evidence so far available, it is unclear whether immediate adjuvant chemotherapy or 
chemotherapy at the time of relapse is superior or if the two approaches are equivalent with respect 
to the end-point overall survival. There is no additional effective treatment for the patient

population at high risk of relapse receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and this represents a significant 
unmet medical need (51). 
 MAGE-A3 is a factor of poor prognosis 
The interest in recMAGE-A3 ASCI treatment is further reinforced by the possible link between 
MAGE-A3 expression and shorter survival (34) 
 
 MAGE-A3 is tumor-specific, recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI highly tolerated and shows 
promising Phase II results 
Taking into account the tumor-specificity of MAGE-A3, the high tolerability of recMAGE-A3 + 
AS15 and the promising results from the Phase II clinical trials in melanoma and lungcancer, EAU 
RF proposes to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical Phase II trial with recombinant 
MAGE-A3 (recMAGE-A3) combined with the AS15 adjuvant in patients with muscle invasive 
bladder cancer with MAGE-A3 expression after cystectomy.  
 
This trial will assess whether adjuvant treatment with recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI after 
cystectomy is safe and effective and improves outcome of MAGE-A3 positive patients after 
cystectomy. 
 
2.6.2 Rationale Protocol Amendment 4.0 
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals recently reported the negative outcome of the MAGE3-AS15-NSC-
003 (ADJ) (109493 - EudraCT number: 2007-001283-73) MAGRIT study (A double-blind, 
randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III study to assess the efficacy of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 
Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic as adjuvant therapy in patients with resected MAGE-
A3-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (53). The analysis of MAGRIT confirmed the absence of 
treatment effect in any of the primary, secondary, or exploratory analyses. All aspects of the 
MAGRIT study have been carefully assessed, and unfortunately these investigations failed to 
identify a root cause for the lack of efficacy of the MAGE-A3 Antigen-Specific Cancer 
Immunotherapeutic (ASCI) in NSCLC that could be corrected in ongoing studies, including the 
MAGNOLIA study.  
Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the Phase III results, together with all other available 
clinical and laboratory data with various recombinant proteins tested in different diseases and 
settings now suggests that the anticancer activity of this technology may well be limited to a

subgroup of Stage III melanoma patients with a specific predictive gene signature (52). A few 
patients in early metastatic melanoma also appear to benefit from this type of treatment. 
Consequently, GSK Biologicals has decided to stop further development of recMAGE-A3 + AS15 
as a standalone treatment for cancer patients. This decision is not motivated by any safety concern 
as confirmed by all Independent Data Monitoring Comittees (IDMCs) overlooking the ASCI trials. 
This decision implies that MAGE-A3 +AS15 CI will not be available for future treatment of 
bladder cancer patients which warrants a substantial amendment (4.0) of the MAGNOLIA study. 
 
As of 23 September 2014, the recruitment was put on hold (sites were still allowed until 3 February 
2015 to randomize patients that signed the informed consent or were in the screening process). As 
of  Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the study population will be 
unblinded.  
For patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits will be performed except 
for the concluding visit and no further doses will be administered. As it cannot be excluded that one 
or more patients may benefit from this treatment on an individual basis, patients receiving active 
treatment (patients not on placebo, and patients that have not already completed or interrupted their 
MAGE-A3 ASCI treatment) will be offered the option to continue the administration of the study 
treatment until the last dose is administered or until recurrence, whichever comes first, or until the 
patient or the investigator decides to stop the study treatment. Therefore, the study will continue 
only with patients from the active treatment group who will decide to stay in the study. Treatment 
will not be possible anymore after 30 November 2016. 
During the treatment period, safety monitoring will continue as initially foreseen during the 
treatment period. In the best interest of the patient, additional biological samples for protocol 
research purposes (evaluation of the immune response, translational research) will not be taken nor 
collected.  
The primary and secondary objectives will not be assessed as planned. All clinical data collected in 
the study will be analysed descriptively. By default, for each biological sample already collected in 
the scope of this study and not tested yet, testing will only be done if a scientific rationale remains 
relevant despite the premature termination of the study. In that case, testing will be in compliance 
with the protocol and ICF signed by the patient. The immune response will not be evaluated 
anymore as the immune response to IP administration was confirmed in other ASCI trials, but did 
not show any correlation with the potential efficacy.

As of Protocol Amendment 4.0 primary and secondary objectives of the MAGNOLIA study will 
not be assessed as planned. All clinical and safety data collected in the study will be analysed 
descriptively. Additional biological samples for protocol research purposes (evaluation of the 
immune response, translational research) will not be taken nor collected. By default, for each 
biological sample already collected in the scope of this study and not tested yet, testing will only 
be done if a scientific rationale remains relevant despite the premature termination of the study. In 
that case, testing will be done in compliance with the protocol and ICF signed by the patient. The 
immune response will not be evaluated anymore as the immune response to IP administration was 
confirmed in other ASCI trials, but did not show any correlation with the potential efficacy.  See 
for rationale Section 2.6.2. 
 
3.3 Primary Endpoint 
 
Disease-free Survival (DFS):  
 
Defined as the time from randomization to either the date of first recurrence of the disease 
or the date of death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first. 
 
Types of recurrence to be considered as an event include loco-regional and distant 
metastases. 
 
In addition, any death occurring without prior documentation of tumor recurrence will be 
considered as an event (and will not be censored in the statistical analysis) as this approach 
is less prone to introduce bias.

 
If no event has occurred by the time of the analysis, then the time to event will be censored 
at the date of the last assessment of the patient in question. 
 
Any new primary cancer at another site, including transitional carcinoma of the upper 
urinary tract, will not be considered as recurrence and should be reported as a SAE. 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0, the primary endpoint will not be analysed as planned. All clinical 
data collected in the study will be analysed descriptively. See for rationale Section 2.6.2. 
 
3.4 Secondary Endpoints 
 
Overall Survival.  
 
Defined as the interval from randomization to the date of death, irrespective of the cause of 
death; patients still alive will be censored at the date of the last assessment. 
Disease-free specific survival (DFSS). 
 
Defined as the interval from randomization to the date of first recurrence of disease or date 
of death due to bladder carcinoma, whichever occurs first. Patients without recurrence or 
death are censored at the date of last assessment. Patients without recurrence who die from 
another cause are censored at the date of death. 
Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). 
 
Defined as the interval from randomization to the date of first distant metastasis or date of 
death, whichever occurs first. Patients alive and without distant metastasis are censored at 
the date of last assessment.  
Adverse events. 
 
Occurrence of adverse events, including potential immune-mediated diseases  
Serious adverse events.

4. DESIGN OF THE STUDY  
 
This is a multicentre, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double-blind, 
trial to compare the efficacy and safety of recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI intramuscular injections 
with Placebo intramuscular injections. 
The target was  to enroll 273 patients to be randomly assigned to 2 treatment schedules in a 2:1 
ratio, 2 patients randomized for recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI versus 1 patient randomized for 
placebo, either directly after recovery from surgery, or after recovery from adjuvant chemotherapy.  
Ten European countries are participating with a total of 50 sites. Sites contributed 0-28 screened 
patients in the recruitment period of 40 months. Enrolment in this study was competitive. 
 
As of 23 September 2014, the recruitment was put on hold (sites were still allowed until 3 February 
2015 to randomize patients that signed the informed consent or were in the screening process). 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the study will be unblinded 
(see for rationale  Section 2.6.2). 
For patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits will be performed except 
for the concluding visit and no further doses will be administered. The study will continue only with 
patients from the active treatment group who wll decide to stay in the study. Patients receiving 
active treatment (patients not on placebo, and patients that have not already completed or 
interrupted their MAGE-A3 ASCI treatment) will be offered the option to continue the 
administration of the study treatment until the last dose is administered or until recurrence, 
whichever comes first, or until the patient or the investigator decides to stop the study treatment. 
The duration of the treatment period will not exceed 108 weeks for any patient, comprising the 
entire period of treatment administration and excluding the concluding visit (Visit 14), provided 
there are no postponements. The concluding visit will take place at least 30 days after the patient’s 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

last dose of study product. Treatment will not be possible anymore after 30 November 2016. The 
2,5-year active follow-up period planned in the initial study protocol has been cancelled. 
The total duration of the study will be 7 years. Data collection will be organised by Remote Date 
Entry on Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF).

4.1 Study Treatment Administration Scheme 
 
The treatment scheme for recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI administration or  placebo, consists of 5 
doses of the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI or placebo administered at 3-week intervals (visit 1 to 
visit 5) followed by 8 recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI doses or placebo administered at 3-month 
intervals (Visit 6 to Visit 13) for a total maximum duration of study treatment administration of 27 
months. recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI or placebo is given as an intramuscular injection (more info 
in Section 6 Investigational Products and Administration). 
 
 
Note that as of Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the study will 
be unblinded. For patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits are 
to be performed except for the concluding visit and no further doses are to be administered.

5. PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA 
 
5.1 Study Population 
 
Initially, a total of 273 patients meeting all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, 
was planned to be randomized a few days before first study treatment administration with  an 
expected average of 40% of the patients to be MAGE-A3 positive. We anticipated that we needed 
to screen 4 or 5 patients for each eligible patient who could be randomized. Hence, we expected to 
need approximately 1229 patients (range 1092 – 1365 patients) who underwent  radical cystectomy 
and were  willing to participate to end up with 273 patients who are MAGE-A3 positive and eligible 
to enter the study. At the time of putting the recruitment on hold (as of 23 September, 2014) 83 
patients out of the 273 initially foreseen were randomized at 29 sites. Patients that already signed 
the screening ICF can still be randomized if eligible. 
 
5.2 Inclusion Criteria 
 
To be eligible for this study, patients needed to meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 
 
1. Aged greater than or equal to 18 years at the time ICF is signed, either sex.

carcinoma of the bladder which is MAGE-A3 positive.  
3. Written informed consent for tissue sampling, the mandatory analyses and for the complete 
study has been obtained prior to the performance of any other protocol-specific procedure. 
4. TNM classification at pathological examination of surgically removed specimen: Stage T2,3 
N0 or N1 or N2 and M0 disease or Stage T4 N0 M0 disease. (TNM classification see Appendix 
3) 
5. The patient is free of residual disease and free of metastasis, as confirmed by a negative 
baseline Computer Tomogram (CT scan) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the 
pelvis, abdomen and chest no more than 13 weeks prior to randomization. Other 
examinations should be performed as clinically indicated. 
6. Patient is fully recovered from surgery within 13 weeks following cystectomy. For patients 
who receive adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient is fully recovered within 3-6 weeks

6. INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCTS AND ADMINISTRATION 
 
6.1 Treatment assignment and randomization 
 
6.1.1 Patient identification 
Patient numbers were assigned sequentially to patients as soon as they signed the first informed 
consent form and according to the range of patient numbers allocated to each study centre. 
 
6.1.2 Randomization and treatment allocation 
As of 23 September 2014, the recruitment was put on hold (sites were still allowed until 3 February 
2015 to randomize patients that signed the informed consent or were in the screening process). As 
of Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the study will be unblinded. For 
patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits will be performed except for the 
concluding visit and no further doses will be administered. Patients receiving active treatment (i.e. 
those patients not on placebo, and patients that have not already completed or interrupted their 
MAGE-A3 ASCI treatment) will be offered the option to continue the administration of the study 
treatment until the last dose is administered or until recurrence, whichever comes first, or until the 
patient or the investigator decides to stop the study treatment. Therefore, as of Protocol Amendment 
4.0, the study will continue only with patients from the active treatment group who will decide to 
stay in the study. Treatment will not be possible anymore after November 2016.  For the rationale 
see Section 2.6.2. 
 
The aim is to start study treatment as soon as the patient is recovered from surgery or, for patients 
who receive adjuvant chemotherapy following surgery, the patient is recovered from chemotherapy.  
Randomization  occured maximally 13 weeks after cystectomy for patients not scheduled to receive 
adjuvant chemotherapy. For patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, the first study treatment 
administration must be given 3 - 6 weeks after the last day of chemotherapy administration and no 
more than 36 weeks after surgery.  
Treatment allocation at the investigator site will be performed using a central system on Internet, 
initially used for randomization (SBIR; available 24H/day, 7D/week) which accounted for the 
following stratification factor: T category, Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy vs. Adjuvant 
Chemotherapy vs no chemotherapy, and minimization factors the number (1, 2 vs. 3, 4) of cycles 
received (if peri-operative chemotherapy has been administered), N category, gender and centre. 
This randomization took place maximum 7 days before first study treatment administration at Visit 
1.

After having obtained informed consent for MAGE-A3 expression screening and gene profiling and 
separate informed consent for the complete study and having checked that the patient was eligible, 
the investigator or his/her delegate accessed the randomization system via the Internet. The patient's 
identification number, and stratification and minimization factors: T category, Neo-adjuvant 
Chemotherapy vs. Adjuvant Chemotherapy vs. no chemotherapy, the number of peri-operative 
chemotherapy cycles received , N category, gender and centre were entered. This central  system, 
initially used for randomization,  will now determine the treatment allocated to the patient and will 
provide the treatment box number to be used for the  immunization of this patient. 
For further information on the randomization system and attribution of treatment box numbers, refer 
to the SBIR User Guide 
The actual treatment number used for each study treatment administration of the patient must be 
recorded by the investigator in the eCRF. 
 
 
6.2 Study Treatment 
 
All candidate ASCI and placebo to be used in this study have been developed and manufactured by 
GSK Biologicals. 
The Quality Control Standards and Requirements for this candidate product are described in 
separate Quality Assurance documents (e.g. release protocols, certificate of analysis, etc.) and the 
required approvals have been obtained. 
The study product(s) are labeled and packed according to applicable regulatory requirements. 
Treatment will be limited to 30 November 2016, as the lots of the IMP (Investigational Medical 
Product) produced for this trial, are expected to expire.  
 
6.2.1 recMAGE-A3 + AS15 antigen-specific cancer immunotherapeutic 
In the study, the recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI will be administered by using a sterile two vial set 
comprising: 
• 
One vial with the lyophilized preparation containing 300 μg recMAGE-A3 antigen plus 420 
μg of CpG7909 (a part of the adjuvant system AS15),  
•  One vial with liquid adjuvant diluent AS01B (containing liposomes), along with 50 μg of 
MPL combined with 50  μg of QS21 in phosphate buffered saline), making up the remainder 
of the adjuvant system AS15.

      Page 33 of 100 
 
The final recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI for administration is obtained by reconstitution of the 
lyophilized preparation with the adjuvant diluent. A recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI dose consists of 
0.5 ml. 
 
6.2.2. Placebo 
The placebo will consist of sucrose reconstituted with a 1/500 dilution of SB62 oil-inwater 
emulsion (pH = 6.8) in a total volume of 0.5 ml. It will be administered by using a sterile two-vial 
set comprising: 
• One vial with the lyophilized sucrose preparation, 
• One vial with the diluted oil-in-water emulsion diluent. 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0, the recruitment will be stopped and the study will be unblinded. 
For patients randomized to the placebo group, no further protocol visits are to be performed except 
for the concluding visit and no further doses are to be administered.  Please see Section 2.6.2 for the 
rationale. 
 
6.3 Dosage and Administration of Study Product 
 
6.3.1 General considerations 
A standard dose of recMAGE-A3 (300 g) + AS15, or of placebo, will be used, irrespective of the 
patient's body weight or area (Table 1). The needles used for study treatment administration should 
be suitable for intramuscular injection. 
The liquid content of the diluent vial is to be transferred aseptically into the vial containing the 
lyophilized preparation. The vial is to be shaken gently until complete dissolution of the pellet. 
The investigator or designate will then withdraw the reconstituted AS 15 ASCI, change the needle, 
and 0.5 ml will be injected slowly (approximately 30 seconds) intramuscularly in the deltoid or 
lateral regions of the thighs, alternately on the right and left sides. 
The patients will be observed closely for at least 30 minutes following the administration of the 
study medication, with appropriate medical treatment readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic 
reaction. 
When reconstituted, the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI or the placebo can be kept between 
+4°C and +25°C for a maximum of 4 hours.

Criteria for permanent stopping or postponement of study treatment are described in Section 6.3.2. 
 
6.3.2 Contra-indications to subsequent study treatment administration 
The criteria in the following subsections should be checked at each visit subsequent to the first visit. 
If any of these events occur during the study, this will require appropriate action, i.e., interruption of 
the treatment with postponement of the next study treatment administration (Section 6.3.2.1) or 
permanent stopping of study treatment (see Section 6.3.2.2). 
 
6.3.2.1 Criteria for postponement of study treatment 
If any one of the following events occurs at the time scheduled for administration of the study 
treatment, the patient may be treated at a later date (i.e., the entire program of study visits and 
immunizations is interrupted), within the time window specified below, or withdrawn at the 
discretion of the investigator. The patient must be followed until resolution of the event, as with any 
AE. 
• 
Acute disease at the time of administration. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a 
moderate or severe illness with or without fever or any grade ≥2 Common Terminology 
Criteria Adverse Event (CTCAE Version 4) possibly related to the study treatment. Study 
treatment can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhea or mild upper 
respiratory infection.) 
• 
Fever, defined as an oral, axillary or tympanic temperature of 38 °C or above. 
• 
Need for influenza vaccine in the framework of imposed influenza vaccination programmes. 
The study treatment should be given as close in time as possible to the time scheduled in the 
original administration schedule. A seven days interval should be allowed between 
administration of such vaccine and the study treatment (see also Section 6.6.3 on time 
window for prophylactic vaccination).

• 
Need for administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products. The study treatment 
should be given as close in time as possible to the time scheduled in the original 
administration schedule. A seven days interval should be allowed between the 
administration of immunoglobulins and/or blood products and the administration of the 
study treatment (see also Section 6.6.3).  
• 
Any other medical reason that would expose the patient to an unacceptable risk, at the 
investigator’s discretion.  
 
In case of postponement of study treatment administration for any of the above reasons, 
the following rules have to be followed: 
• 
From visit 2 to Visit 5 (study treatment administration no. 2 to 5), the maximum delay for 
postponement of study treatment administration is 3 weeks. 
• 
From Visit 6 to Visit 13 (study treatment administration no. 6 to 13), the maximum delay for 
postponement of study treatment administration is 12 weeks. 
 
When a study treatment administration has to be postponed, a visit to administer the missed 
treatment should be planned as soon as possible to catch up the originally planned schedule. 
 
If the administration occurs within the above stated delay, the treatment dose to administer 
corresponds to the next one in the initial order of administration. Example: if a patient has already 
received doses 1 and 2 of study treatment but the administration of dose 3 of study treatment has to 
be postponed, the patient will receive dose 3 if he/she comes for his next administration a maximum 
of 3 weeks after the originally planned date of Visit 3. 
If the administration does not occur within the above stated delay, the missed dose will not be 
administered. At the time the patient reintegrates the study, he/she will receive the dose as planned 
in the initial schedule of administration. Example: if a patient has already received doses 1 and 2 of 
study treatment but the administration of dose 3 of study treatment has to be postponed for more 
than 3 weeks, the patient will receive dose 4 if he/she comes for his next administration (refer to 
Table 2).  
 
The next doses will be planned at a time allowing: 
• 
A minimum of 14 days between 2 treatment administrations, 
• 
To keep up with the schedule as based on the date of first study treatment administration.

6.5 Storage and Handling of Study Products 
All study products to be administered to patients must be stored and handled during the course of 
the study as described below: 
 Storage areas must be dry and clean 
 Refrigerator / freezer needs to provide adequate storage conditions and needs to function 
properly, i.e. maintenance of T° within the T° conditions defined for the IMP  
 Storage temperature must be maintained, checked and monitored 
 Sufficient storage space should be foreseen for all study products provided during the course 
of the study 
 The storage space to be used for the study products should be clearly delimited and 
physically separated from all other samples/items contained in the storage facility 
 
All study products to be administered to the patients must be stored in a safe and locked place 
with no access by unauthorized personnel.  
 
Study products must be stored at the defined temperature range (i.e. +2 to +8°C ).  
 
When reconstituted, the recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI can be kept at a temperature between 4°C and 
25°C for a maximum of 4 hours. 
 
For local storage between 2-8°C, a temperature monitoring system should be used to monitor and 
record daily temperature. The temperature should be registered on a temperature log sheet at least 
once per working day, preferably at the same time of the day (e.g., at the beginning of the day). 
 
It is permitted to monitor the storage temperature using a locally available temperature continuous 
recording device, provided it can read the daily actual and min/max temperatures. 
 
In case of temperature deviation Sponsor should be contacted whether affected products may still be 
used or not.   
 
Please refer to the Pharmacy manual for more details on storage & handling of the study product(s).

6.5.1 Replacement of unusable study product doses 
Additional study product doses will be provided to replace those that are unusable (see SBIR 
manual for details). 
The investigator or delegate will request a new treatment number from GSK Biologicals (SBIR 
system) via the internet. He/she will access the allocation system and enter the patient’s ID number 
and date of birth. The allocation system will then determine the active treatment number to be used 
for the immunization of that patient. 
 
6.6 Concomitant medication/vaccination and non-drug therapies 
 
6.6.1 Permitted medication 
 
Patients should receive medication appropriate to their health condition during the whole study. 
At each study visit/contact, the investigator should question the patient about any medication taken 
and treatment received by the patient. 
All concomitant medication/vaccination, with the exception of vitamins and/or dietary supplements, 
are to be recorded in the eCRF  This also applies to any medication intended to treat an AE. 
Similarly, concomitant medication administered for the treatment of a SAE, at any time, must be 
recorded on the SAE Report Form/SAE screens in the eCRF, as applicable. Refer to Section 8 for 
the definition of a SAE. 
 
6.6.2 Prohibited medications and non-drug therapies 
Patients may not receive concomitant treatment during the study treatment period (from the first 
treatment administration until the concluding visit) with any of the following: 
• 
Investigational or non-registered product other than the study recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI. 
• 
Plant extracts or anticancer treatments, including but not exclusively, chemotherapeutic or 
immunomodulating agents and radiotherapy. 
• 
Any immunosuppressive agent, or any systemic corticosteroids prescribed for chronic use 
(more than 7 consecutive days).  The use of prednisone, or equivalent, < 0,125 mg/kg/day 
(absolute maximum 10 mg/day),  or inhaled corticosteroids or topical steroids is permitted. 
• 
Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol during the period within the 
prohibited time as specified in Section 6.6.3.

Any of these specifically contraindicated treatments and/or medications administered at any time 
during the study treatment period is to be recorded in the eCRF with generic name of the 
medication (trade names are allowed for combination drugs only), medical indication, total daily 
dose, route of administration, start and end dates of treatment.  
If any of these is taken, it will require either permanent discontinuation of study treatment (see 
Section 6.3.2.2) or may determine a patient evaluability in the according-to-protocol (ATP) analysis 
(see Section 10.3 for definition of study populations to be evaluated) . 
 
6.6.3 Allowed time window for concomitant vaccination, immunoglobulins and blood products 
Immunization with any commercial anti-infectious vaccine may be performed during the study. 
However, this may not take place during the period from 7 days before any study product 
administration to 7 days after. Thus, if the study product is to be administered on a notional Day 0, 
then the vaccination may be performed on or before Day -8, and on or after Day 8.  
In case of need for influenza vaccine in the framework of imposed influenza vaccination programs, 
the ASCI treatment may be postponed in order to administrate such prophylactic vaccine. However, 
a 7 day interval should be allowed between the influenza vaccine administration and the ASCI 
treatment. 
Any commercial vaccine administered in the study treatment period is to be recorded in the eCRF . 
Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the treatment period is 
allowed, within the same time windows as noted above for anti-infectious vaccines. 
 
6.6.4 Time window for recording concomitant medication/vaccination and non-drug therapies 
in the eCRF  
All concomitant medication as described in Sections 6.6.1, 6.6.2 and 6.6.3, with the exception of 
vitamins and/or dietary supplements, administered at ANY time during the period starting with the 
administration of the first dose of study product and ending 30 days after the last dose of study 
product must be recorded in the eCRF.

7. STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
 
7.1 General Study Aspects 
 
Attendence for study visits 
 
It is the investigator’s responsibility to ensure that the intervals between visits/contacts are strictly 
followed. 
 
Patients will be required to attend for study treatment administration and assessment according to 
the schedule shown below (Section 7.2). The first study treatment will take place maximum 7 days 
after randomization. Permitted deviation from the stipulated date of each visit (due e.g. to week-
ends or public holidays) will be as follows: 
 
Screening 1:  
 
 
prior to or shortly after cystectomy 
Screening 2: 
For patients not receiving adjuvant chemotherapy 
max 13 weeks after cystectomy 
For patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy 
within 3-6 weeks after the last day of 
chemotherapy administration 
Visit 1: 
max 7 days after randomization and max 36 weeks after 
cystectomy 
Visits 2-5:  
 
 
 
4 calendar days. 
Visits 6-13:  
14 calendar days. 
The concluding visit will take place at least 30 days after the patient’s last dose of study product. 
The follow-up visits planned in the initial study protocol has been cancelled. 
Any deviation greater than this will be regarded as a protocol violation. 
 
In each case, the sponsor will decide, if appropriate in consultation with the IDMC, whether the 
violation is to be regarded as: 
 A minor violation (i.e., without consequence), 
 A major violation (resulting in exclusion of the patient from the population of patients 
evaluable according to protocol (ATP)).

When the permitted deviations are applied or when a study treatment has to be postponed (refer to 
Section 6.3.2.1 for details on postponement of study treatment), the next study visit should be 
planned at a time allowing:  
• A minimum of 14 days between 2 treatment administrations, 
• To keep up with the schedule as based on the date of first study treatment administration 
(Visit 1). 
During the treatment phase, 1 week equals 7 calendar days. During the treatment phase timings 
will be counted in weeks.

7.3 Detailed Description of Study Stages Visits 
 
The patients will be observed closely for at least 30 minutes, with appropriate medical treatment 
readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic reaction following the administration of treatments. 
 
The patients will be instructed to contact the investigator immediately should they manifest any 
signs or symptoms they perceive as serious. 
 
7.3.1 Screening Assessments 
 
Two screening visits, S1 and S2  took place: S1 before or shortly after surgery or adjuvant 
chemotherapy following surgery and S2 either after recovery from surgery or after recovery from  
adjuvant chemotherapy following surgery (see also section 7.1). Signature of informed consent for 
urine and tissue sampling, MAGE-A3 expression analysis and gene profiling and optional 
translational research (e.g. Urine Samples prior to cystectomy (at S1) for analysis of MAGE A3 
expression  have been  collected in those patients who specifically consent to this) took place at 
Visit S1, before surgical resection.  
 
At S1 the inclusion and exclusion criteria were  evaluated. Only patients who to the opinion of the 
investigator, are likely to meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were included 
in the first step of the study.  
 
Cystectomy 
A radical cystectomy  was performed according to local standard practice. 
The surgical procedure was NOT a study procedure.  
 
A FFPE block sample of at least 10 mm3 of the primary tumor - or in case a tissue block was not 
possible 20-25 unstained 10 µm slides and 1 unstained 5 µm slide of the primary tumor - was 
retained and sent to the central lab for determination of MAGE-A3 expression. If a suitable sample 
was obtained at cystectomy, that tumor sample from the cystectomy was sent to the central 
laboratory for MAGE-A3 testing. In case the cystectomy tumor sample was not suitable (for 
whatever reason, including the tumor sample being too small or of too low tumor content, or having 
limiting presence of necrosis or scarring) a tumor tissue sample collected during the preceding 
TransUrethral Resection (TUR) was used to be sent to the central laboratory. If the analysis showed

that the patient was MAGE-A3 negative, then the patient was  informed of this and was not enrolled 
in the study.  
In selected sites and in patients who specifically consent to this, in addition to the FFPE tissue a 
fresh tissue block sample of the resected tumor was collected and sent to a contracted laboratory to 
perform additional tumor antigens and MAGE-A3 expression testing. 
For determining the eligibility of the patient only the MAGE-A3 expression result from the FFPE 
tissue was used. 
 
Chemotherapy administration (if applicable) 
If the patient was scheduled to receive chemotherapy, up to 4 cycles of cisplatinum-based 
chemotherapy could be administered, starting within 13 weeks after surgery. 
This administration was not a study procedure. However, the type and number of cycles of 
chemotherapy administered were recorded in the eCRF. 
 
S2 took place after Visit S1, once the MAGE-A3 expression information was known to the 
investigator, and either within 13 weeks following cystectomy (for patients not receiving 
chemotherapy)  or within 3-6 weeks following adjuvant chemotherapy (for patients receiving 
adjuvant chemotherapy) with a maximum of 35 weeks after cystectomy. The following procedures 
did not all need to be done on the same day, but none of them, except standard imaging procedures 
as indicated below,   could be performed before the patient had signed the ICF for study 
participation. 
 
The following screening assessments were  performed at S2:  
 Informed Consent Procedures for the whole study and for the addendum as needed for 
patients on active treatment willing to continue the treatment. 
 Pathological Result of surgical  specimen and if needed to be supplemented with the 
Pathological Result of the transurethral resection specimen at S2. The number of cancer 
positive and -negative lymphnodes surgically removed from specific lymphnode regions 
such as the obturator, internal, external, common iliac and presacral lymphnode regions 
were registered. 
 MAGE-A3 expression of pathologic specimen. 
 Inclusion and exclusion criteria were checked.  
 Cross-sectional imaging or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT scan or MRI of chest, 
abdomen and pelvis) with  or without IV contrast  material (CT-Urography) to exclude

upper urinary tract tumors. IVU was also acceptable to exclude upper urinary tract tumors at 
baseline. (These imaging procedures were considered as standard of care.) 
 Medical history. 
 Smoking status. Smoking is known to be a risk factor for the development of bladder cancer. 
In this study we would like to assess the impact of (stopping) smoking on the development 
of a recurrence or progression by means of a questionnaire.  
 Physical examination (including height and weight).  
 WHO performance status. 
 Blood sample for safety analysis.  
 SAEs that were related to study procedures should have been reported from the date of 
signature of informed consent at S2. 
 Potential Immune-Mediated Diseases (pIMD) 
 Concomitant Medication. 
 Pregnancy test (females of childbearing potential only). Pregnancy test results must have 
been negative at screening.  
 
When considering the enrolment of females of childbearing potential the following definition was 
used: 
 
Adequate contraception is defined as a contraceptive method with failure rate of less than 
1% per year when used consistently and correctly (when applicable, as mentioned in the 
product label) for example abstinence, combined or progestogen oral contraceptives, 
injectable progestogen, implants of levonorgestrel, oestrogenic vaginal ring, percutaneous 
contraceptive patches or intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), vasectomy 
with documented azoospermia of the sole male partner or double barrier method (condom or

7.3.2 Study Procedures  
 
Visit 1-Visit 5 
Signature of the ICF addendum must be the first procedure performed for patients returning for 
their first study visit after approval of Protocol Amendment 4.0. This only has to be done once. The 
study will continue only with patients from the active treatment group who will decide to stay in the 
study. Signature of the ICF addendum will be documented in eCRF at visit S2. 
First study treatment administration (V1) will take place maximum 7 days after randomization. V2 
– V5 will take place 3 weeks ± 4 days after the day of first administration (V1).  
During Visit 1 to Visit 5 the following procedures will be performed:  
 Recording of concomitant medication (each visit) 
 Recording of (serious) adverse events and potential Immune-Mediated Diseases (each visit) 
 Routine physical examination including WHO performance status assessment (each visit) 
 Cross-sectional imaging or Magnetic Resonance imaging (CT scan or MRI of chest, 
abdomen and pelvis) at V5 
 Pregnancy test at V5 
A pregnancy test needs to be repeated at V1 in case the previous pregnancy test is more than 
7 days ago. A pregnancy test will be repeated every 3 months for females of childbearing 
potential and should be performed at any time during the study for all women of 
childbearing potential if the investigator or patient suspects that pregnancy has occurred 
while the subject was being treated on protocol therapy.   
 Blood sampling for safety at V5 
Note that as of Protocol Amendment 4.0,  blood sampling for immunological examination at V1 
(pre-administration), V3 and V5 and urine sampling at the time of recurrence of bladder cancer 
in the urinary urothelium, for analysis of MAGE A3 expression (optional, if patient specifically 
consents to this), as mentioned in the original protocol, will not be performed anymore. Before 
each administration the criteria for permanent stopping or postponement of study treatment 
(Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2) will be checked. If any of these criteria is met, the patient will be 
withdrawn from study treatment or the administration of study treatment will be postponed.  
 
 
Visit 6 – Visit 13 
Signature of the ICF addendum must be the first procedure performed for patients returning for 
their first study visit after approval of Protocol Amendment 4.0. This only has to be done once. The 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

study will continue only with patients from the active treatment group who will decide to stay in the 
study. Signature of the ICF addendum will be documented in eCRF at visit S2. 
 
These visits will take place at 12-weekly intervals i.e. at time points 24, 36, …108 weeks after V1, 
with a permitted deviation of up to 14 days.  
  
During Visit 6 to Visit 13 the following procedures will be performed:  
 Recording of concomitant medication (each visit) 
 Recording of (serious) adverse events and potential Immune-Mediated Diseases (each visit) 
 Routine physical examination including WHO performance status assessment (each visit) 
 Cross-sectional imaging or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT scan or MRI of chest, 
abdomen and pelvis)  (each visit) 
 Pregnancy test (each visit) 
A pregnancy test will be repeated every 3 months for females of childbearing potential and 
should be performed at any time during the study for all women of childbearing potential if 
the investigator or patient suspects that pregnancy has occurred while the subject was being 
treated on protocol therapy.   
 Blood sampling for safety at V8, and V12 
Note that as of Protocol Amendment 4.0,  Smoking status (V6, V8, V10, V12), blood sampling 
for immunological examination (at V7, V8 and V10) and urine sampling (at the time of 
recurrence of bladder cancer in the urinary urothelium, for analysis of MAGE A3 expression,  
optional, if patient specifically consents to this), as mentioned in the original protocol, will not 
be performed anymore. 
Before each administration the criteria for permanent stopping or postponement of study 
treatment (Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2) will be checked. If any of these is met, the patient will 
be withdrawn from study treatment or the administration of study treatment will be postponed.  
 
 
Visit 14: Concluding visit 
This visit will take place  at least 30 days  after V13, approximately 120 weeks after first 
administration (V1) with a permitted deviation of up to 14 days, or in case of recurrence or early 
withdrawal.

7.3.3 Recurrence or progression 
All types of recurrence will be included i.e. local, regional and distant metastasis as well as second 
primary tumor of the upper urinary tract. In addition, all deaths occurring without prior 
documentation of tumor recurrence will be considered as an event. Any new primary cancer will not 
be considered as recurrence and should be reported as SAE. 
All recurrences must be documented by radiological evidence or biopsy, as determined by the 
investigator. 
Suspicion of relapse based on physical examination findings or laboratory signs must be confirmed 
by radiological examination and/or biopsy. 
Equivocal findings on standard radiological imaging should be confirmed by repeated examinations 
or cytology/histology or other imaging techniques.  
In the event of unequivocal, objective recurrence (at scheduled or unscheduled visit), the 
investigator will determine and record the recurrence, withdraw the patient from the study treatment

Scenario A: As soon as a planned CT scan /MRI shows objective recurrence, the patient will be 
considered to have had a recurrence on the day of this planned imaging (Day X). 
 
Scenario B: If a planned imaging is equivocal, a confirmatory examination (imaging or biopsy) will 
be planned within 8 weeks after the first equivocal imaging. If this confirmatory examination shows 
an objective recurrence, the patient will be considered to have had a recurrence on the day of the 
first equivocal imaging (Day X). On the other hand, if the patient’s condition does not allow for this 
confirmatory examination and another anti-cancer treatment is started, the patient will be 
considered to have had recurrence on the day of the first equivocal examination (Day X).

Scenario D: If a patient comes to an unplanned visit due to symptoms, additional examinations will 
be conducted as clinically indicated (Chest X-Ray, CT scan/MRI, bone scan, biopsy, etc.). If 
objective recurrence is demonstrated, the date of this additional imaging or biopsy will be 
considered as the date of relapse (Day Z). 
If these additional examinations are equivocal, confirmatory examination will be performed within 
8 weeks as in scenario B.  If recurrence is confirmed or if the patient requires immediate treatment 
with another anti-cancer therapy, the patient will be considered to have had recurrence on Day Z. 
However, if these additional examinations are negative but symptoms persist without any 
explanation, and the patient requires immediate treatment with another anti-cancer therapy, the 
patient will be considered to have had recurrence on date of unplanned visit. 
 
In case of a bladder cancer recurrence a urine sample at the time of recurrence was collected and 
intended for analysis of MAGE A3 expression. In case a biopsy (resected tissue) of the recurrence 
was performed, we were interested in testing the recurrence for MAGE-A3 expression and in 
performing gene profiling research on the samples taken during biopsy. 
The patient has signed a specific separate informed consent form to allow these tests. Instruction for 
sample handling and dispatch were given in the Laboratory Manual. 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0. no additional urine samples and/or biopsy tissues will be taken and 
collected for these tests.

7.4 Biological Sample Handling and Analysis  
Table 7 summarizes all biological sample assays to be performed during this study. 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0 no more biological samples for protocol research purposes will be 
taken. This applies to every research topic (mandatory or optional) listed in this chapter, except for 
the sampling done for safety evaluation (hematology, renal function and hepatic function). By 
default, for each biological sample already collected in the scope of this study and not tested yet, 
testing will not be performed except if a scientific rationale remains relevant despite the premature 
termination of the study. In this case, testing will be done in compliance with the protocol and ICF 
signed by the patient. The immunological read-outs will not be performed anymore. Please see 
Section 2.6.2 for the rationale.

a) A total of 2 x 5 ml of blood will be used for immunological read-outs  
b) Including MAGE-A3 expression testing 
c) 
No additional samples are needed for this analysis 
*Note that as of Protocol Amendment 4.0 recruitment will be stopped and no more screening (and MAGE-A3 expression testing) will 
take place. During the treatment period, blood sampling and testing for safety monitoring will continue as initially foreseen during the 
treatment period,  No more biological samples for immunological readouts or translational research will be collected. On the 
biological samples already collected, laboratory assays will only be performed if a scientific rationale remains relevant despite the 
premature termination of the study. The immunological read-outs will not be performed anymore. See Section 2.6.2 for the rationale. 
 
Samples will not be labeled with information that directly identifies the patients but will be coded 
with a unique number for the sample.  
 
It is also possible that future findings may make it desirable to use the samples acquired in this 
study for tests that are not related to the product or disease under study.  Therefore, all patients will 
be invited to give their separate agreement (tick box in the Informed Consent form) to allow the 
sponsor or the company supplying the trial medication and its collaborating labs to perform such 
additional testing. 
 
7.4.2 MAGE-A3 expression  
In order to be eligible for this study, the patients must have had a MAGE-A3-positive tumor. 
Therefore, the MAGE-A3 expression of the resected tumor was tested before the enrolment of the 
patients, i.e. during the screening period of the study. 
 
The screening of tumors for MAGE-A3 expression was  performed in a contracted laboratory 
located in Europe selected for its experience in the field of assays on formalin-fixed paraffin-
embedded (FFPE) tissues and meeting the required quality level.

7.4.3 Safety Laboratory Assays (mandatory) 
Safety laboratory tests assessing the haematological parameters as well as renal and hepatic 
functions will be performed at the local investigator laboratory.  
These tests (detailed in Table 7) will be performed before first study treatment administration, at 
Visit 5 and then each year after Visit 1 (Visit 8 and Visit 12) till the end of the treatment 
administration phase and at Visit 14 (Table 5). Additional tests can be performed if clinically 
indicated and can be recorded in the eCRF.  
 
If a clinically significant laboratory abnormality is detected at one of these assessments, it should be 
followed up as adequate until it has returned to normal or a satisfactory explanation has been 
provided. 
 
7.4.4  Immunological read-outs  
 
7.4.4.1 Antibody response to the ASCI components 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0 no more blood samples for immunological read-outs will be taken 
and collected. The antibody response will not be evaluated anymore as the immune response to IP 
administration was confirmed in other ASCI trials, but did not show any correlation with the 
potential efficacy.  
 
7.4.5 Translational research  
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0 no additional  biological samples for translational research will  be 
collected. By default, for each biological sample already collected in the scope of this study and not 
tested yet, testing will not be performed except if a scientific rationale remains relevant despite the 
premature termination of the study. In this case testing will be done in compliance with the protocol 
and ICF signed by the patient. See for rationale Section 2.6.2. 
 
7.4.5.1. Gene profiling research  
 
Gene profiling research might be done for all patients enrolled in the study. 
 
Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, including its cellularity, different genetic alterations and diverse 
clinical behavior patterns. Many analytical techniques have been used to study human tumors and to 
classify them into groups that can predict clinical behavior (35-37). 
DNA microarrays have made significant contributions to this field by detecting similarities and 
differences amongst tumors by the simultaneous analysis of the expression of thousands of genes. 
DNA microarrays have allowed investigators to develop expression-based classification of tumors.

Efforts aimed at discovering independent predictors of clinical outcome have identified molecular 
subsets of cancer based on these gene expression profiles. Subcategories of lymphoma, breast 
carcinoma and sarcomas with distinct prognosis and/or clinical behavior were recognized. Recently, 
two subgroups of metastatic melanoma lesions were identified that, however, had no predictive 
correlation with clinical outcome (38, 39). 
In the Phase II melanoma trial (GSK 249553/008), an attempt was made to identify from a tumor 
biopsy a gene signature that may predict a favorable clinical outcome for patients treated with the 
recMAGE-A3 + AS15 ASCI (40). In this study, the same tumor samples that were tested for 
MAGE-A3 expression (eligibility criteria) and so obtained before any MAGE-A3+AS15 ASCI 
immunisation were also tested for gene expression using Affymetrix HG-U133.Plus 2.0 gene chips 
covering about 47,000 transcripts. From this analysis, a specific gene signature that could segregate 
the patients with progressive disease and the patients with clinical activity was identified, 
suggesting an association between the gene signature and a favorable clinical outcome following 
the recMAGE-A3+AS15 ASCI treatment. A similar analysis in the Phase II NSCLC trial (GSK 
249553/004) with patients treated with MAGE-A3 + AS02B ASCI, revealed that this melanoma 
signature might also have a predictive value in this setting.  
 
The tumor samples in this studymight be used to identify a gene signature predictive to recMAGE-
A3+AS15 ASCI in bladder cancer. In addition to attempting to identify such a signature on an 
exploratory basis, the incidence of  previously found recMAGE-A3 +AS15 ASCI predictive gene 
signature and its potential predictive value in this patient population might be assessed.  
 
Extracted RNA will be used to measure candidate predictive gene expression levels by quantitative 
RT-PCR or by other appropriate technologies that might interrogate the whole genome such as 
hybridization to a gene expression chip with a locked set of genes (e.g., Affymetrix or other 
commercial chips) or transcriptome sequencing. In case a whole genome approach is used, further 
gene expression profiling and validation by quantitative RT-PCR or any updated technique might 
be performed. Validation of gene expression at the protein level might also be performed by IHC or 
an appropriate technology.  
 
This research on gene profiling might be performed on the FFPE tissue used for the mandatory 
MAGE-A3 expression screening (inclusion criteria for the study).  If available, RNALater collected 
fresh tissue can be used from patients who gave explicit consent (optional testing). In addition, in 
the event that the investigator has performed an additional tumor biopsy or a tumor resection

because of disease progression; patients have been proposed to sign a separate Informed Consent 
Form to allow the tumor sample to be sent to a validated laboratory designated by GSK Bio or 
EAU-RF for the research on gene profiling. 
 
7.4.5.2. Other Translational research (optional) 
This section provides details on the research that may be done on the biological samples collected 
during this study based on sample availability and results obtained in the study. These different tests 
will only be performed if samples are available and for patients who voluntarily gave their consent 
for these specific assessments on the Informed Consent Form. Refusal to participate in this optional 
research will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which the patient would otherwise be entitled. 
These tests will be performed at a validated laboratory designated by GSK Bio or EAU-RF.  
7.4.5.2.1 Tumor antigen and MAGE –A3 expression testing  
Tumor antigen-expression analysis might be carried out using same tumor samples and 
methodologies used for gene expression profiling (in RNAlater® or FFPE). 
The expression of tumor antigens besides MAGE-A3  (such as WT1, MAGE-C2, NY-ESO1, 
LAGE1, PRAME) or other related tumor antigens might be assessed at the mRNA or protein level 
(by qRT-PCR or immunohistochemistry respectively or any equivalent technology), using the most 
updated techniques at the time of the analysis.  
This analysis might give a view on the prevalence of expression of these tumor antigens in bladder 
cancer as well as their co-expression.  
 
If available, a fresh portion (10 mm³) of the resected tumor collected in RNALater was sent to a 
contracted laboratory to perform additional MAGE-A3 expression testing. Also a urine sample 
taken prior to cystectomy might be analysed for MAGE-A3 expression. 
 
7.4.5.2.2 Demethylation analysis  
Gene methylation is a control mechanism that regulates gene expression in DNA. Gene methylation 
occurs when a methyl group is added to a cytosine nucleoside. The regulatory regions of active 
genes are sensitive to methylation. In normal cells, these promoter regions are regulated, as 
necessary, by the methylation process. In several diseases, the promoter regions can be abnormally 
methylated, in which case their function remains blocked and the proteins they code for are not 
produced. In situations where the promoter is hypo-methylated, an abnormally high level of protein 
can be produced. Such abnormal methylation of relevant genes has been shown to be associated

with the presence and development of some cancer types. The pattern of gene methylation in tumor 
cells is often specific to the tissue of origin and could be used to improve cancer detection, assess 
cancer aggressiveness, and predict a tumor’s response to therapy (41, 42). Analysis of methylation 
patterns in promoters of candidate genes that correlate with cancer aggressiveness or that predict 
response to the MAGE-A3 ASCI therapy could render a tool to select patients that would most 
benefit from this therapy. 
Tumor cell DNA can be detected from the blood of melanoma patients even in early disease (43). 
This DNA can for instance originate from the primary tumor where some cells are lysed or from 
circulating tumor cells releasing DNA material in the blood. Likewise in bladder cancer, cancerous 
cells and/or their DNA can be found in the urine of patients. 
It has been shown that the MAGE protein expression is re-activated in tumor cells following 
demethylation of the MAGE promoter region (44). The presence of MAGE-A3 expressing tumor 
cells could therefore be anticipated if the presence of demethylated MAGE promoter DNA is 
detected in the patient’s blood or urine. The detection of MAGE-A3 specific demethylated DNA 
from these samples could lead to the development of non-invasive methods to identify the presence 
of MAGE-A3 expressing tumor cells. It could also potentially be used to anticipate the efficacy of 
the treatment if the level of the circulating DNA is decreased over time. 
Practically, this approach could broaden the patient population suitable for a treatment with MAGE-
A3 + AS 15 ASCI compared to the traditional methods of MAGE-A3 detection by RT-PCR on a 
tumor sample. 
Likewise, the methylation status of regulatory regions of genes encoding other tumor antigens (such 
as MAGE-C2, NY-ESO1, LAGE1, PRAME and WT1) as well as genes encoding specific 
predictive markers and genes encoding transcriptional factors relevant for the regulation of the 
immune response (such as Foxp3, GATA-3, T-bet, ROR-T) might also be analyzed in blood, urine 
and tumor samples.  
A urine sample collected at screening might be used for the demethylation analysis. A fraction of 
the stored blood collected over time for immunological analysis will be used for the methylation 
analysis. DNA methylation might also be assessed on DNA extracted from tumor samples collected 
in RNAlater® (or equivalent) or FFPE dependent on the availability of material. Therefore, no 
additional blood samples needed to be collected for this type of research.

7.4.5.2.3. Tumor-related DNA Biomarkers 
It has been shown that changes in DNA sequence occurring in cancer cells themselves might 
correlate with response to a given treatment (BRAF in melanoma, EGFR in lung cancer, KRAS in 
colon cancer). (46, 47, 48, 49, 50) 
 
This investigationwould  involve the search and analysis of variant genes in the cancerous cells, 
which would have been shown or hypothesized to be associated with the effects of the MAGE-A3 
ASCI (inflammatory or immune response genes) or that have been shown or hypothesized to play a 
role in cancer development, recurrence or response to other cancer treatments (p53, RB, BRAF, 
KRAS, EGFR, etc).  
 
The analysis of genetic variability occurring in cancer cells might be performed on DNA extracted 
from any of the collected tumor and/or urine samples when material is available and of appropriate 
quality. Of note, this investigation of the tumoral cells did not require collection of additional 
material. 
 
The investigation might be carried out by using hypothesis-driven approaches (candidate genes) 
based on PCR or alternative methodologies, such as high-throughput genotyping technologies or by 
using systematic approaches based on sequencing and/or whole-genome genotyping techniques that 
have been recently developed. The latter allow the non-biased search of genetic variations that 
might correlate with treatment response. In general, these analyses would aim at determining DNA 
sequence variations (mutations, insertion/deletion, translocations and copy number variation) that 
occur in the regulatory or coding region of genes. 
 
Tumor-related analysis of samples from patients who did not receive study treatment or for whom 
clinical outcome is not available would be limited to establish the prevalence of specific biomarkers 
or to the study of the markers as prognostic factors when the follow-up information is available. 
 
The specific type of tumor-related DNA biomarker investigation to be applied will depend on the 
most scientifically feasible approach available. This analysis might be done and validated using 
appropriate methodologies implemented in laboratories approved by EAU-RF.

8. ADVERSE EVENTS AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
 
The investigator or site staff is/are responsible during the study for the detection and documentation 
of events meeting the criteria and definition of an adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event 
(SAE) as provided in this protocol.  
 
Each patient will be instructed to contact the investigator immediately should the patient manifest 
any signs or symptoms they perceive as serious. 
 
8.1 Definition of an Adverse Event 
 
AEs will be recorded according to the International Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation patient, temporally associated 
with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. 
 
An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a 
medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected 
benefits (i.e. lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse.  
 
Examples of an AE include: 
 
 Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an increase in 
frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
 New conditions detected or diagnosed after investigational product administration even though 
they may have been present prior to the start of the study. 
 Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected interaction. 
 Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either investigational 
product or a concurrent medication (overdose per se should not be reported as an AE/SAE). 
 Signs, symptoms temporally associated with study product administration.

Examples of an AE DO NOT include: 
 
 Medical or surgical procedures (e.g. endoscopy, appendectomy); the condition that leads to the 
procedure is an AE. 
 Situations where an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (e.g. social and/or convenience 
admission to a hospital, admission for routine examination). 
 Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present or detected 
at the start of the study that do not worsen.  
 The disease/disorder being studied, or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of the 
disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the patient’s condition. 
 
 
Example of events to be recorded in the medical history section of the CRF/eCRF 
 Pre-existing conditions or signs and/or symptoms present in a patient prior to the start of the 
study (i.e. prior to the first study product administration). 
 
8.2 Definition of a Serious Adverse Event  
 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that: 
 
 Results in death. 
 Is life-threatening.  
NB: The term ‘life-threatening’ in the definition of ‘serious’ refers to an event in which the 
patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, had it been more severe. 
 Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 
NB: In general, hospitalization signifies that the patient has been detained (usually involving 
at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or 
treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or out-patient 
setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are also considered AEs. If a 
complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfils any other serious criteria, the event will also 
be considered serious. When in doubt as to whether ‘hospitalization’ occurred or was 
necessary, the AE should be considered serious. 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

 Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition (known/diagnosed prior to 
informed consent signature) that did not worsen from baseline is NOT considered an AE.  
NB: Hospitalization for elective cystectomy is not an SAE. 
 Results in disability/incapacity, or 
NB: The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions. This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively 
minor medical significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, 
influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained ankle) which may interfere or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
 Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study patient. 
 Is a Grade 4 adverse event according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE), Version 4 (Appendix 4). 
 
Medical or scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether reporting is appropriate in 
other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or 
result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should also 
be considered serious. Examples of such events are second primary cancers, intensive treatment in 
an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do 
not result in hospitalization. 
 
 
 
8.3 Potential immune-mediated diseases 
 
Potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs) are a subset of AEs that include autoimmune diseases 
and other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders of interest which may or may not have an 
autoimmune etiology. AEs that need to be recorded and reported as pIMDs include those listed in 
Table 8. 
 
However, the investigator will exercise his/her medical and scientific judgement in deciding 
whether other immune-mediated diseases have an autoimmune origin (i.e. pathophysiology 
involving systemic or organ-specific pathogenic autoantibodies) and should also be recorded as a 
pIMD.

When there is enough evidence to make any of the above diagnoses, the AE must be reported as a 
pIMD. Symptoms, signs or conditions which might (or might not) represent the above diagnoses, 
should be recorded and reported as AEs but not as pIMDs until the final or definitive diagnosis has 
been determined, and alternative diagnoses have been eliminated or shown to be less likely. 
 
In order to facilitate the documentation of pIMDs in the CRF, a pIMD standard questionnaire will 
be available to investigators at study start. 
 
 
Reporting of pIMDs  
 
The standard time period for collecting and recording of pIMDs will begin at the first receipt of 
study medication and will end at the concluding visit.  
 
Once onset of any new pIMD or exacerbation of a pre-existing pIMD is diagnosed (serious or non-
serious) in a study patient, the investigator (or designate) must complete, date and sign an SAE 
Report Form and forward it to the Sponsor WITHIN 24 HOURS after he/she becomes aware of the 
diagnosis. A field on the SAE Report Form allows to specify that the event is a pIMD and whether 
it is serious or non serious. The SAE Report Form will always be completed as thoroughly as 
possible with all available details of the event, in accordance with the pIMD standard questionnaire 
provided. Even if the investigator does not have all information regarding a pIMD, the form should 
still be completed and forwarded to the Sponsor within 24 hours. Once additional relevant 
information is received, the form should be updated and forwarded to the Sponsor WITHIN 24 
HOURS. 
 
The investigator will always provide an assessment of causality at the time of the initial report.

Fax transmission or a scanned report per e-mail are the preferred methods to forward the SAE 
Report Form to the Study Contact for Reporting SAEs. In absence/dysfunction of fax/e-mail 
equipment, the Study Contact for Reporting SAEs must be notified by telephone within 24 hours. 
As soon as the fax/e-mail equipment is working again, the investigator (or designate) must fax/e-
mail the SAE Report Form to the Study Contact for Reporting SAEs within 24 hours. 
 
8.4 Events or outcomes not qualifying as adverse events or serious adverse events / 
Progression / Recurrence of the Disease under study 
 
An event which is part of the natural course of the disease under study (i.e., disease progression, 
recurrence) is captured as an efficacy measure; therefore it does not need to be reported as a SAE. 
 
Progression/recurrence of the tumor will be recorded in the clinical assessments in the eCRF. Death 
due to a progressive disease is to be recorded on a specific form in the eCRF but not as a SAE. 
 
However, if the progression of the underlying disease is greater than that which would normally be 
expected for the patient, or if the investigator considers that there was a causal relationship between 
treatment with recMAGE-A3 +AS15 or protocol design/procedures and the disease 
progression/recurrence, then this must be reported as a SAE. 
 
Any new cancer (non-related to the cancer under study) must be reported as an SAE. 
 
8.5 Clinical Laboratory Parameters and other Abnormal Assessments Qualifying as Adverse 
Events and Serious Adverse Events 
 
Abnormal laboratory findings (e.g., clinical chemistry, haematology, urinalysis) or other abnormal 
assessments that are judged by the investigator to be clinically significant will be recorded as AEs 
or SAEs if they meet the definition of an AE, as defined in Section 8.1 or SAE, as defined in 
Section 8.2. 
 
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal assessments that are detected 
during the study or are present at baseline and significantly worsen following the start of the study 
will be reported as AEs or SAEs as well as individual laboratory values. However, clinically 
significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal assessments that are associated with the 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

disease being studied, unless judged by the investigator as more severe than expected for the 
patient’s condition, or that are present or detected at the start of the study and do not worsen, will 
not be reported as AEs or SAEs. 
 
The investigator will exercise his or her medical and scientific judgement in deciding whether an 
abnormal laboratory finding or other abnormal assessment is clinically significant. 
 
8.6 Detecting and recording adverse events, serious adverse events  
 
Time Period, Frequency, and Method of Detecting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse 
      Events  
 
All non-serious AEs occurring within the period beginning at the first administration of study 
treatment and ending 30 days after the last administration of study treatment must be recorded on 
the Adverse Event form in the patient’s eCRF, irrespective of intensity or whether or not they are 
considered study treatment-related. 
 
All SAEs must be recorded from the first administration of study treatment till the concluding visit 
(Visit 14, Week 112 or later) and at least 30 days after the last administration of study treatment in 
the event of early discontinuation of study treatment administration.  
 
Additionally, in order to fulfil international reporting obligations, SAEs that are related to study 
procedures will be reported from the date of signature of informed consent. However, cystectomy 
before the first administration of study treatment is not considered as a study procedure. Therefore, 
foreseeable AEs and SAEs specifically related to the cystectomy prior to first study treatment 
administration should not be reported. See Section 8.9 for instructions for reporting and recording 
SAEs.

ICF for study participation  
 
 
All AEs either observed by the investigator or one of his clinical collaborators or reported by the 
patient spontaneously or in response to a direct question will be evaluated by the investigator. AEs 
not previously documented in the study will be recorded in the Adverse Event form within the 
patient’s eCRF. The nature of each event, date and time (where appropriate) of onset, outcome, 
intensity and relationship to study treatment administration should be established. Details of any 
corrective treatment should be recorded on the appropriate page of the eCRF. Refer to Section 6.6.  
As a consistent method of soliciting AEs, the patient should be asked a non-leading question such 
as: “Have you felt different in any way since receiving the treatment or since the previous visit?” 
N.B. The investigator should record only those AEs having occurred within the time frame defined 
above. 
 
AEs already documented in the eCRF, i.e. at a previous assessment, and designated as “not 
recovered/not resolved” or “recovering/resolving” should be reviewed at subsequent visits, as 
necessary. If these have resolved, the documentation in the eCRF should be completed. 
 
When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all documentation 
(e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) relative to the event. The 
investigator or designate will then record all relevant information regarding an AE/SAE in the 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

eCRF and on the SAE Report Forms. It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of 
the patient’s medical records to the Sponsor in lieu of the appropriate completed AE/SAE pages in 
the eCRF and SAE Report Form. However, there may be instances when copies of medical records 
for certain cases are requested by the Sponsor. In this instance, all subject identifiers will be blinded 
on the copies of the medical records prior to submission to the Sponsor.  
Paper SAE Report Forms and the facsimile (fax)/e-mail system will be the primary modes for 
reporting SAEs to the Sponsor during the study period. SAEs should also be reported on the SAE 
screens in the electronic system.   
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, symptoms, and/or 
other clinical information. In such cases, the diagnosis should be documented as the AE/SAE and 
not the individual signs/symptoms.  
 
8.7 Evaluating Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
 
8.7.1 Assessment of intensity 
Severity of AEs will be assessed according to the International Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events (CTCAE); version 4.0; Appendix 4. 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for all AEs, including SAEs reported during 
the study. The assessment will be based on the investigator's clinical judgment. The intensity of 
each AE and SAE recorded in the Adverse Event form within the patient’s eCRF, SAE screens in 
the eCRF and SAE Report Form should be assigned according to the table given in the CTCAE 
(Version 4.0; Appendix 4). 
An AE that is assessed as Grade 3 (severe) should not be confused with an SAE. Grade 3 is a 
category utilized for rating the intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as 
Grade 3. An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets the definition in Section 8.2. 
 
8.7.2 Assessment of causality 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between the investigational product and the 
occurrence of each AE/SAE. The investigator will use clinical judgement to determine the 
relationship. Alternative causes, such as natural history of the underlying diseases, concomitant 
therapy, other risk factors and the temporal relationship of the event to the investigational product 
will be considered and investigated. The investigator will also consult the Investigator Brochure 
and/or Product Information, for marketed products, in the determination of his/her assessment.

There may be situations when a SAE has occurred and the investigator has minimal information to 
include in the initial report to the Sponsor. However, it is very important that the investigator 
always makes an assessment of causality for every event prior to submission of the SAE to the 
Sponsor. The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information, 
amending the SAE information accordingly. The causality assessment is one of the criteria used 
when determining regulatory reporting requirements. 
 
In case of concomitant administration of multiple treatments, it may not be possible to determine 
the causal relationship of general AEs to the individual treatments administered. The investigator 
should, therefore, assess whether the AE could be causally related to study treatment administration 
rather than to the individual treatments.  
 
Causality of all AEs should be assessed by the investigator using the following question: Is there a 
reasonable possibility that the AE may have been caused by the investigational product ? 
NO : The AE is not causally related to administration of the study treatment. There are 
other, more likely causes and administration of the study treatment is not suspected to have 
contributed  to the AE. 
YES : There is a reasonable possibility that the treatment contributed to the AE.  
 
Non-serious and serious AEs will be evaluated as two distinct events. If an event meets the criteria 
to be determined “serious” (see Section 8.2 for definition of serious adverse event), it will be 
examined by the investigator to the extent to be able to determine ALL contributing factors 
applicable to each serious adverse event. 
 
Other possible contributors include: 
• Medical history 
• Other medication 
• Protocol required procedure 
• Other procedure not required by the protocol 
• Erroneous administration 
• Other cause (specify).

8.8 Follow-up of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events and Assessment of Outcome 
 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each patient and 
provide further information to the Sponsor on the patient’s condition. All AEs and SAEs 
documented at a previous visit/contact and designated as not recovered/not resolved or 
recovering/resolving will be reviewed at subsequent visits/contacts. 
 
Investigators will follow-up patients: 
• with SAEs or patients withdrawn from the study as a result of an AE, until the event has resolved, 
subsided, stabilized, disappeared, the event is otherwise explained, or the patient is lost to follow-
up; or 
• in the case of other non-serious AEs, until they complete the study or they are lost to follow-up. 
 
Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be followed up until they have returned to 
normal, or a satisfactory explanation has been provided. Additional information (including but not 
limited to laboratory results) relative to the subsequent course of such an abnormality noted for any 
patient must be made available to the Study Monitor. 
 
The Sponsor may request that the investigator perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations to elucidate as fully as possible the nature and/or causality of the 
AE or SAE. The investigator is obliged to assist. If a patient dies during participation in the study or 
during a recognized follow-up period, the Sponsor will be provided with a copy of any available 
post-mortem findings, including histopathology. New or updated information will be recorded on 
the paper SAE Report Form as well as on the originally completed SAE screens in eCRF. The paper 
SAE Report Forms should be re-sent by facsimile (fax)/e-mail system to the Sponsor within 24 
hours of receipt of the follow-up information as outlined in Section 8.9.1. Refer to Section 8.9.2 for 
details of the reporting system.  
Outcome of any non-serious AE occurring within 30 days post-administration or any SAE reported 
during the entire study will be assessed as: 
• Recovered/resolved 
• Not recovered/not resolved 
• Recovering/resolving 
• Recovered with sequelae/resolved with sequelae 
• Fatal (SAEs only).

8.9 Prompt Reporting of Serious Adverse Events to the Sponsor 
 
The paper SAE Report Forms and the facsimile (fax)/e-mail system will be the primary modes for 
reporting SAEs to the Sponsor during the study period. SAEs should also be reported on the SAE 
screens in the electronic system.   
 
8.9.1 Time frames for submitting serious adverse event reports to the Sponsor 
SAEs will be reported promptly to the Sponsor once the investigator determines that the event 
meets the protocol definition of an SAE. The investigator or designate will complete and submit 
relevant information on the paper SAE Report Forms and fax or e-mail the (scanned) SAE reports 
to the Sponsor WITHIN 24 HOURS OF HIS/HER BECOMING AWARE OF THESE 
EVENTS. Additional or follow-up information relating to the initial SAE report is also to be 
completed and submitted on the paper SAE Report Forms and faxed/e-mailed to the Sponsor within 
24 hours of receipt of such information.  
During the study, the investigator should also enter and update the SAE information in the SAE 
screens in eCRF.  
 
8.9.2 Completion and transmission of serious adverse event reports to the Sponsor 
Once an investigator becomes aware that a SAE has occurred in a study patient (including a 
screened patient), the investigator or designate will complete and submit the information on the 
paper SAE Report Forms and fax/e-mail the SAE reports to the Sponsor within 24 hours as outlined 
in Section 8.9.1. The paper SAE Report Forms will always be completed as thoroughly as possible 
with all available details of the event, signed by the investigator or designate and faxed to the 
Sponsor. If the investigator or designate does not have all information regarding an SAE, he/she 
will not wait to receive additional information before notifying the Sponsor of the event and faxing 
the SAE Report Forms. The SAE Report Forms should be updated when additional information is 
received and faxed/e-mailed to the Sponsor WITHIN 24 HOURS as outlined in Section 8.9.1. 
 
The investigator will always provide an assessment of causality at the time of the initial report as 
described in Section 8.7.2. 
NB. An event which is part of the natural course of the disease under study (i.e., disease recurrence) 
is captured in the study as an efficacy measure; therefore it does not need to be reported as an SAE 
(see Section 8.4).

In rare circumstances, in the absence of facsimile/e-mail equipment for reporting SAEs (including 
deaths determined by the investigator to be related to treatment administration), notification by 
telephone is acceptable, with a copy of the SAE Report Form sent by mail. Initial notification via 
the telephone does not replace the need for the investigator or designate to complete and sign the 
SAE Report Forms and fax/e-mail the SAE form to the Sponsor. 
 
In the event of a death determined by the investigator to be related to study treatment 
administration, sending of the fax must be accompanied by telephone call to the Study Contact for

8.10 Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events 
 
The investigator will promptly report all SAEs to the Sponsor in accordance with the procedures 
detailed in Section 8.9. The Sponsor has a legal responsibility to promptly notify, as appropriate, 
both the local regulatory authority and other regulatory agencies about the safety of a product under 
clinical investigation. Prompt notification of SAEs by the investigator to the Study Contact for 
Reporting SAEs is essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety 
of other patients are met. 
 
The investigator, or responsible person according to local requirements, will comply with the 
applicable local regulatory requirements related to the reporting of SAEs to the IRB/IEC and, if 
required, to the applicable government authority. 
 
Investigator safety reports are prepared according to the current Sponsor’s policy and are forwarded 
to investigators as necessary. An investigator safety report is prepared for a SAE(s) that is both 
attributable to investigational product and unexpected (SUSAR). The purpose of the report is to 
fulfil specific regulatory and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements, regarding the product 
under investigation.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE(s) or other specific 
safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the Sponsor will file it with the 
Investigator Brochure or other appropriate study documentation and will notify the IRB or IEC, if 
appropriate according to local requirements. 
 
8.11 Post-study Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
 
A post-study AE/SAE is defined as any event that occurs outside of the AE/SAE detection period 
defined in Section 8.6. Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in former study 
participants. 
However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a patient has 
been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event reasonably related to the 
investigational product, the investigator will promptly notify the Study Contact for Reporting SAEs. 
The investigator or designate should use the paper SAE Report Forms and the facsimile (fax)/e-mail 
system if SAE follow ups or new SAEs have to be reported. 
 
8.12 Pregnancy 
 
Patients who become pregnant during the study treatment phase must not receive additional doses 
of study treatment but may continue other study procedures at the discretion of the investigator. 
 
The investigator, or his/her designee, will collect pregnancy information on any patient who 
becomes pregnant while participating in this study i.e. from signature of first informed consent till 
the concluding visit , or till recurrence/death if occurring before the the concluding visit . The 
investigator, or his/her designee, will record pregnancy information on the Pregnancy Report Form 
and submit it to the Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of a patient’s pregnancy. The patient will 
be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. At the end of the pregnancy, whether that 
be full-term or prematurely, information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to 
the Sponsor. Generally, follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated 
delivery date.  
 
While pregnancy itself is not considered an AE or SAE, any pregnancy complication or elective 
termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons will be recorded as an AE or a SAE, as described in 
Section 8.1 and 8.2, and will be followed as described in Section 8.8.

A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be a SAE and will be reported as described in 
Section 8.8. Furthermore, any SAE occurring as a result of a post-study pregnancy AND considered 
reasonably related in time to receipt of the investigational product by the investigator, will be 
reported to the Sponsor as described in Section 8.11. While the investigator is not obligated to 
actively seek this information from former study participants, he/she may learn of a pregnancy 
through spontaneous reporting.  
 
Information on pregnancies identified during the screening phase/prior to treatment administration 
does not need to be collected; this information need not be administered in the eCRF. 
 
8.13 Treatment of Adverse Events 
 
Treatment of any adverse event is at the sole discretion of the investigator and according to current 
good medical practice. Any medication administered for the treatment of an AE should be recorded 
in the patient’s eCRF. Refer to Section 6.6.  

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

9. PATIENT COMPLETION AND WITHDRAWAL 
 
9.1 Patient Completion 
 
A patient will be considered to have completed the study treatment when he/she has been under 
treatment till Week 112 (= the end of all the scheduled study visits defined as the concluding visit) 
following first study treatment administration. The term “study activity” refers to physical visits and 
does not include follow-up contacts (i.e. phone contacts).  
Treatment with investigational treatment (ASCI or placebo) should be conducted and completed 
according to this protocol unless it has to be ended prematurely because of documented disease 
recurrence, withdrawal due to an unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal for other reasons (see Section 
9.2). 
Once the patient has been withdrawn from investigational treatment or has completed treatment, the 
reason for cessation of treatment must be documented in the patient’s medical records and eCRF. 
. 
 
9.2 Patient Withdrawal 
 
Patients who are withdrawn because of AEs must be clearly distinguished from patients who are 
withdrawn for other reasons. Investigators will follow patients who are withdrawn as result of an 
SAE/AE until resolution of the event (see Section 8.8). 
Withdrawals will not be replaced. 
 
9.2.1 Patient withdrawal from study product administration 
A ‘withdrawal’ from the study product(s) refers to any patient who does not receive the complete 
treatment, i.e. when no further planned dose is administered from the date of withdrawal. A patient 
withdrawn from the study product(s) may not necessarily be withdrawn from the study as further 
study procedures or follow-up may be performed  as planned in this study protocol.  
The investigator will document in the eCRF whether the decision to discontinue further treatment 
was made by the patient or the investigator and which of the following possible reasons was 
responsible for withdrawal:  
• (Serious) adverse event (including intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity), 
• Disease progression/recurrence, 
• Protocol violation (specify), 
• Other, eg. the occurrence of a second tumor that needs therapy (specify). 
In this case, the concluding visit will be performed as described in Section 7.3.2.  

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

If the patient refuses or cannot undergo these study procedures, he/she will be considered as 
withdrawn from study (Section 9.2.2). 
 
9.2.2 Patient withdrawal from the study 
A patient will be considered as being withdrawn from the study when he/she does not undergo any 
further planned study activity after the date of withdrawal.  
 
A patient may voluntarily discontinue participation in this study at any time. The investigator may 
also, at his/her discretion and in the best interest of the patient, discontinue the patient from 
participating in this study at any time. In addition, if the sponsor decides to discontinue the study, 
no further study procedures (including administration of the study treatment) will occur. 
 
Information relative to the withdrawal will be documented on the Study Conclusion page of the 
eCRF. The investigator will document whether the decision to withdraw from the study was made 
by the patients or the investigator and which of the following possible reasons was responsible for 
withdrawal: 
• Death (any cause), 
• (Serious) adverse event (including intercurrent illness, unacceptable toxicity), 
• Disease progression/recurrence, 
• Consent withdrawal, not due to an adverse event, 
• Lost to follow-up, 
• Other (specify). 
 
9.3 Screen and Baseline Failures 
 
A patient was considered to be a screen/baseline failure if the patient signs the ICF, but withdrew 
before receiving study treatment. 
 
All patients having given consent to undergo MAGE-A3 expression screening upon resection of 
their tumor were referenced into a screening section of the eCRF, including patients with a negative 
MAGE-A3 expression.  
10. STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
 
10.1 Sample Size Calculation  
 
The assumptions for the sample size calculations were the following. 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

- 
Primary endpoint on which sample size is based is disease free survival (see Section 3.3) 
- 
Hazard ratio of expected disease free survival of recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI treated 
patients relative to placebo treated patients that will be significant at the end of study is 0,75.  
- 
Median Disease-Free Survival in the placebo groups is 24 months 
- 
Recruitment period is 4-5 years 
- 
All patients will be observed for a maximum of 5 years from their first study administration 
and with a minimum of 6 months after treatment completion. 
- 
Nulhypothesis H0: “there are no differences in expected disease free survival between the 
placebo treated patients and recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI treated patients. 
- 
Alternative hypothesis H1: “the recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI treated patients have a 
different disease free survival compared to the placebo treated patients. 
- 
Anticipated drop out percentage is 15 %  
- 
One-sided alpha for final analysis is 0,05 
- 
Power to detect a HR= 0,75 is 50 %. Power to detect a HR = 0,65 is 80 %.  
- 
Randomization: 2 recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI patients versus 1 Placebo patient. 
- 
Interim analysis planned when 65% of the total number of events have occurred. 
- 
Calculations were done using East 5.3. 
 
Based on these assumptions and in order to reach 155 events* (see section 10.2), we needed a total 
of 273 patients for randomization. A total of 182 patients were to be randomized for treatment with 
recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI and 91 patients were to  be randomized for treatment with placebo. 
Total number of evaluable patients (15 % drop out percentage) would be 231.  
The power to detect a HR=0.75 (from 24 to 32 months) was 50%. The study would have 65% 
power if the true HR=0.7 (from 24 to 34 months) and 80% power if the true HR=0.65 (from 24 to 
37 months). 
Due to the Protocol Amendment 4.0, not all analyses described in this section will be performed and 
no interim analysis will be done. Please see Section 2.6.2  for the rationale.

10.2 Study Populations to be evaluated 
 
Total Treated population: 
The Total Treated population will include all treated patients, i.e. all patients with at least one 
documented dose of study treatment (ASCI or placebo). 
The total treated population will be used for the primary analysis of efficacy. 
 
According To Protocol (ATP) population for analysis of immunogenicity 
The ATP population for analysis of immunogenicity will include all evaluable patients (i.e. those 
meeting all eligibility criteria, complying with the procedures and intervals defined in the protocol, 
with no elimination criteria during the study) who have received at least the 4 first study treatment 
doses and for whom data concerning immunogenicity post-dose 4 are available. 
 
According To Protocol (ATP) population for analysis of efficacy 
The ATP population for analysis of efficacy will include all evaluable patients (i.e. those meeting 
all eligibility criteria, complying with the procedures defined in the protocol, with no elimination 
criteria during the study) who have received documented administration of at least the 4 first doses 
of study treatment and for whom data concerning efficacy endpoint measures are available. 
 
Elimination criteria for analysis 
As defined in Section 6.6.2, certain medications are prohibited during study. Among these 
medications, the following will not require withdrawal of the patient from the study but may 
determine a patient evaluability in the according-to-protocol (ATP) analysis. 
 
 
Administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the study 
period. The use of prednisone, or equivalent, < 0,125 mg/kg/day (absolute maximum 10 
mg/day),  or inhaled corticosteroids or topical steroids is permitted. 
 
Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol during the period within the 
prohibited time as specified in Section 6.6.3.  
 
Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the study period.  
 
Occurrence of a major protocol violation as indicated in Section 7.1.

10.3 Statistical Analyses 
As of Protocol Amendment 4.0, statistical analyses will not be assessed as planned. All clinical data 
collected in the study will be analysed descriptively. Please see Section 2.6.2  for the rationale. 
 
Patient characteristics, demographics and baseline measurements will be summarized in order to 
provide a characterization of the patient population. Descriptive statistics, e.g. mean, standard 
deviation, median, range, frequency distributions as appropriate will be presented for each 
randomization group: recMAGE-A3 + AS 15 ASCI versus the Placebo arm. 
 
A yearly safety analysis will be performed until all patients have finished the treatment phase (Visit 
14) which is 112 weeks after the last patient was randomized.  The incidence and severity of all 
adverse events will be tabulated per treatment group. Treatment related toxicity > grade 2 will be 
descriptively described in both arms. 
The description of the safety data will be performed, first globally then for each of the study arms.  
The safety analysis will be performed in all patients who are randomized and who received at least 
one Study Treatment Administration. 
 
The efficacy analysis will be performed including all patients who are randomized and who 
received at least one Study Treatment Administration.  
 
Disease free Survival (Section 3.3) will be estimated by means of the Kaplan Meier method and 
comparison between treatment groups will be done by means of the log-rank test.  
A Cox proportional hazards model will be applied to correct for treatment effects and to assess the 
influence of prognostic and confounding factors such as T category, Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy 
vs. Adjuvant Chemotherapy vs. no chemotherapy, N category, gender, centre, multifocality of 
bladder carcinoma (Y/N), age (continuous), presence of Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) and gene profile 
population.  
 
The analyses of other outcome measurements will be analyzed in an exploratory way with methods 
appropriate for the type of the variable. Both the safety data and the efficacy data will be 
summarized by appropriate descriptive statistics. 
For each patient entering, the reason for discontinuation (e.g. patient decision, urologists decision, 
lack of efficacy, adverse events) should be clarified. The description of the reason for 
discontinuation will be performed.

All tests of efficacy hypotheses based on between-treatment comparisons will be performed at the 5 
% level of significance, and will be two-sided. Statistical tests based on within-treatment 
comparisons will be performed at the 5% level of significance and will be two-sided. No 
adjustments will be made to nominal significance levels to account for multiple comparisons made 
on the same data.

11. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
 
11.1 Regulation Statement 
 
This study will be conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (see for the 
most recent version: www.wma.net) and in accordance with the European and local regulations and 
applicable guidelines.  
 
11.2 Recruitment / Consent and Ethical Review Procedure 
Eligible patients will be fully informed by the principal investigator (PI), the local investigator 
and/or the local research coordinator and his research staff, whatever is applicable, about the study 
and asked to participate. The patient will receive a patient information sheet and will have ample 
opportunity to ask any question he/she might have. He/she will have sufficient time to consider the 
study’s implications before deciding to participate in the study. Patient’s consent will be noted on 
an informed consent form (ICF). 
If during the study the patient for whatever reason no longer wishes to participate he/she can 
withdraw his/her consent at any time, without any further consequences regarding their treatment.   
 
Submission of the protocol and any protocol amendments to regulatory agencies will occur in 
accordance with local regulatory requirements.  
Prior to the start of the study, in some countries, the protocol has to be approved by one recognized 
medical ethics review committee for all participating institutions (the accredited review committee).  
The EC shall form a conclusion on the scientific and medical-ethical aspects of the protocol. If the 
EC requires further information to form its decision or believes the protocol needs to be adjusted, it 
shall inform the PI or the Sponsor immediately. On the basis of the additional information or the 
adjusted protocol, the EC shall reach its conclusion about whether or not the protocol is acceptable 
in terms of the research's scientific and medical-ethical aspects. Approval will be indicated in 
writing with reference to the final protocol number, version and date. The use of medication as 
described in this protocol must not under any circumstances deviate from the agreed protocol. In 
exceptional circumstances, for example when the health of the subjects is as risk, the investigator 
can use his clinical judgement and alterations may be made. The event must then be documented in 
detail to the Sponsor and, if applicable, the EC and the PI and the investigators should be notified. 
If in the opinion of the local investigator or the PI the clinical observations in the study suggest it 
may be unwise to continue, they will be able to terminate the study locally or entirely, respectively. 
If it becomes apparent that patient enrolment is unsatisfactory or the quantity or quality of the data 
received is inaccurate or incomplete on a chronic basis, the PI has the right to terminate the study

and remove all study equipment from the investigational site. If the study is stopped early the EC 
should be informed about the reasons. 
 
11.3 Benefit and Risks Assessment 
Given the situation of the patient who needs a cystectomy, the extra burden and risks associated 
with participation in the study is considered minimal and acceptable. During the first 3 months in 
the study, the number of patient visits is higher. This is due to the need for administration of 
treatment every 3 weeks. Hereafter, the number of visits and treatments is equal to what patients 
with these criteria is offered when they are treated in the standard way, which is watchful waiting 
after cystectomy. Possible extra procedures in this study depend on local routine practices. For 
example 3-monthly CT scans /MRI’s can be extra if 6-monthly imaging procedures are considered 
standard routine practice (during treatment phase only). Also laboratory assessments and the 
questionnaire on smoking habits can be considered as extra.  The risks related to the expected 
treatment outcome, quality and quantity of side effects of the study medication can be considered as 
acceptable (see Section 2.5.3). Benefit for the patient is that the patient is followed according to the 
latest standards and guidelines of treatment of MIBC and the patient has a chance on early detection 
of recurrence of disease.  
 
11.4 Compensation for Injury 
The Sponsor will arrange a liability insurance which is in accordance with GCP and local legal 
requirements.

12. ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS AND PUBLICATION 
 
12.1 Study Organisation & Management 
 
For this multicentre study, an initiating investigators meeting at a central location will be held to 
standardize data management procedures and resolve questions regarding protocol conduct. At the 
initiation meeting, the investigator and eventual other site study personnel will be instructed how to 
conduct the study- and data management procedures. In addition, the sites will be able to download 
the required materials via the EAU RF website. EAU RF’s representatives will conduct field data 
review periodically. It is the responsibility of EAU RF’s representatives to verify adherence to the 
protocol and the completeness, accuracy and consistency of the data. The investigator or a qualified 
employee will enter all relevant data into eCRF’s, in accordance with the instructions provided. The 
investigator may be requested to provide a copy of the applicable pathology or radiology reports. 
These copies will be used as source verification. An explanation for the omission of any required 
data should appear on the appropriate e-page. The investigator must sign an agreement thereby 
stating that she/he takes responsibility for the accuracy of the data in the entire eCRF. 
Original subject records (e.g., hospital charts, clinical records, laboratory printouts) should be 
available at each study site for source document review by EAU RF’s representatives. Source 
document review is the cross checking of information recorded on eCRF’s with that recorded in the 
original subject records. It is not the purpose of source document review to ensure that all 
information in the eCRF is also recorded elsewhere in the subject’s records; the purpose is to help 
ensure that the eCRF accurately reflects information generated during the study. In this study, 
source document review of specific types of information will be conducted in all patients enrolled. 
EAU RF’s representatives ensure the privacy of the patient data by only collecting the patient data 
without the patient details that could identify the individual patient. The investigator should give the 
monitor access to all relevant patient data. 
Queries to be issued to the investigator will consist of questions to clarify for instance missing data, 
inconsistencies, illegible data, illegal values and items that are not clearly corrected.  
When all patient and visit data are received at EAU RF, all data problems have been resolved, all 
data checks and quality control checks have been performed, the study database is considered to be 
clean and can be locked. This cleaning and locking process will be performed on a per patient and 
per visit basis. In addition, the study centre may be audited in depth for study quality assurance by 
EAU RF representatives, and/or inspected by a national regulatory authority. This audit may 
include review of all source documents, drug records, original clinic case-notes, some or all of the 

EAU RF protocol  2010-01

facilities used in the trial, etc. Patient confidentiality will be maintained at all times and consent for 
this will be obtained prior to entry of the patient into the clinical trial. 
 
 
12.2 Participating Local Investigator 
 
The participating local investigator is authorised to randomize patients in this study as soon as EC 
and CA approval has been obtained and, depending on local regulations, approval has been obtained 
from the managing board or the board of directors of the hospital. It is the responsibility of the 
investigator at the local site to verify adherence to the protocol, the protection of the rights of the 
patient, the completeness, accuracy and consistency of the data to be entered by eCRF and 
adherence to local regulations. 
 
12.3 Principal Investigator 
The principal investigator (PI), representing the Sponsor EAU RF, is responsible for protocol 
writing and case report form design, patient registration and assigning patient sequential numbers, 
handling of serious or unexpected adverse events reports, performing consistency checks of the case 
report forms, issuing queries in case of inconsistencies, reviewing and confirming all objective 
tumor responses and the preparation of the manuscript for publication. Some of these 
responsibilities will be handled by EAU CRO on behalf of the Sponsor/PI. 
 
12.4 EAU CRO 
EAU CRO will assist the Sponsor/PI in protocol writing, eCRF design, patient registration and 
assigning patient sequential numbers, performing consistency checks of the case report forms, 
issuing queries in case of inconsistencies and the preparation of the manuscript for publication. On 
behalf of the PI and the Sponsor, EAU CRO will be also be responsible for initiating and 
monitoring the study, supply of eCRF’s, randomization of patients, query management, statistical 
analyses, the preparation of the study report and overall study-management. 
 
12.5 Amendments 
Amendments are changes made to the research protocol after a favourable opinion by the CA/ EC 
has been given.  
A ‘substantial amendment’ is defined as an amendment to the terms of the EC application, or to the 
protocol or any other supporting documentation, that is likely to affect to a significant degree:

All substantial amendments will be notified to the EC that gave a favourable opinion. Written 
IRB/EC approval of substantial amendments is required prior to implementation.   
Non-substantial amendments will not be notified to the EC, but will be recorded and filed by the 
sponsor. Examples of non-substantial amendments are typing errors and administrative changes like 
changes in names, telephone numbers and other contact details of involved persons mentioned in 
the submitted study documentation.  
Considering the long duration of this trial it is foreseen that participating sites may discontinue their 
participation, new sites will be added or that the coordinating investigator of individual sites 
changes. Any of these changes will not result in a substantial protocol amendment if the reasons for 
these changes are of a logistic nature only and do not jeopardise the overall conduct of this study. 
 
12.6 Annual Progress Report 
The Sponsor/PI will submit a summary of the progress of the trial to the EC once a year. 
Information will be provided on the date of inclusion of the first subject, numbers of subjects 
included and numbers of subjects that have completed the trial, serious adverse events/ suspected 
serious adverse reactions (SUSARs), other problems, and amendments.  
 
12.7 End of Study Report 
The Sponsor/PI will notify the EC of the end of the study within a period of 8 weeks. The end of the 
study is defined as the last patient’s last visit.  
In case the study is ended prematurely, the Sponsor/PI will notify the EC within 15 days, including 
the reasons for the premature termination. 
Within one year after the end of the study, the Sponsor/PI will submit a final study report with the 
results of the study, including any publications/abstracts of the study, to the EC.  
 
12.8 Public Disclosure and Publication Policy 
Any formal presentation or publication of data collected from this trial will be considered as a joint 
publication by the investigator(s) on behalf of the sponsor. The PI and the  steering committee 
members will be authors on presentations/publications. Every participating site should designate 
one member to be author on presentations/publications. Further authorship will be determined 
according to the number of eligible patients enrolled and the quality of the patients’ follow up at 
each participating site.  
For multi-center studies, it is mandatory that the first publication is based on data from all centers, 
analysed as stipulated in the protocol by epidemiologists/statisticians in conjunction with the PI,

and not by the investigators themselves. Investigators participating in this multi-center study agree 
not to present data gathered from one center or a small group of centers before the full, initial 
publication, unless formally agreed to by the Sponsor/PI.  
The Sponsor/PI must receive copies of any intended communication in advance of publication (at 
least 15 working days for an abstract or oral presentation and 45 working days for a journal 
submission). The Sponsor/PI will review the communications for accuracy, verify that confidential 
information is not being inadvertently divulged and to provide any relevant supplementary 
information.
