Safety and Tolerability Evaluation Study of BVAC-C in Patients With HPV Type 16 or 18 Positive Cervical Cancer

BVAC-C is an immunotherapeutic vaccine using B-Cell and Monocytes as antigen-presenting cells. This study is consists of 2 parts. Phase I is for safety evaluation, and Phase IIa is for efficacy assessment.

BVAC-C is an immunotherapeutic vaccine using B-Cell and Monocytes as antigen-presenting cells. This study is consists of 2 parts(Phase I, Phase II). Phase I study is Open-label, dose-escalation, multiple dosing study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and preliminary efficacy of BVAC-C in patients with multiple metastatic progressive or recurrent HPV type 16 or 18 positive cervical cancer after failure to standard care. 9\~18 patients will be enrolled In Phase IIa study, which Open-label, sequential assignment multiple dosing study, efficacy, immune response and safety will be evaluated. Total 21 patients will be enrolled in 3 groups.
