Number of Patients With Objective Tumor Response (OR) to GSK2132231A Study Treatment
OR was defined as the best Overall Response (OR) in a patient. OR = Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR). Responses were categorized as CR, PR, stable disease (SD), SD/PR, progressive disease (PD) and non-evaluable (NE). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by Magnetic-resonance imaging: Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD) = neither sufficient shrinkage to be PR, not sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD); PD = ≥20% increase in the sum of largest diameter for target lesions. Best objective response = PR or CR. Disease control = CR, or PR, or SD, or SD/PR.
Number of Patients With Mixed Response (MR) to GSK2132231A
Assessment was done based on a set of measurable lesions (MLs) identified at baseline as target lesions (TLs) and non-TLs (NTL) followed up until disease progression. MLs assessed for matching below MR definitions. If evaluability per RECIST: a) MR Type 1= at least (a.l.) 30% decrease in LD in a.l. one TL measured at baseline. Such response occurring in SD/PD status of LD of TL and without appearance of one or more new lesions (= SD/PD with TL regression); b) MR Type 2: appearance of one or more new lesions occurring in SD/PR status of LD of TL (= SD/PR with new lesion). If non-evaluability per RECIST (due to LD<20mm): a) MR Type 1 = a clear decrease in diameters occurring in a.l. one TL measured at baseline. Such response occurring in SD/PD status of LD of (baseline) TL and without appearance of one or more new lesions (= SD/PD with TL regression); b) MR Type 2 = appearance of one or more new lesions occurring in SD/PR status of LD of TL (= SD/PR with new lesion).
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF), by Gene Signature
TTF was defined as withdrawal from treatment with the GSK2132231A study product due to disease progression or death. TTF analysis was performed using the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method.
Anti-MAGE-A3 Antibody Concentrations
Anti-MAGE-A3 antibody concentrations were presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in ELISA units per millilitre (EL.U/mL). A seropositive patient was defined as a patient whose anti-MAGE-A3 antibody concentration was greater than or equal to 27 EL.U/mL. D=Day W=Week
Number of Seroconverted Patients for Anti-MAGE-A3
Seroconversion was defined as a concentration of antibodies assessed that was greater than the cut-off value for a patient whose concentration of such antibodies was below the cut-off level before the initiation of treatment. Seroconverted patients were those patients with anti-MAGE-A3 antibody concentrations ≥ 27 EL.U/mL.
Number of Patients With Treatment Response for Anti-MAGE-A3 Antibodies
For initially seronegative patients: post-administration antibody concentration ≥ 27 EL.U/mL For initially seropositive patients: post-administration antibody concentration ≥ 2 fold the pre-vaccination antibody concentration

Number of Patients Reported With Antigen Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutics (ASCI)-Related grade3/4 Adverse Events (AEs) According to the Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE) Version 3.0.
The assessed AEs were ASCI-related grade 3/4 adverse events according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. An unsolicited AE covers 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. AEs may include pre- or post-treatment events that occur as a result of protocol-mandated procedures (i.e. invasive procedures, modification of patient's previous therapeutic regimen).
Number of Patients Reported With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Serious adverse events (SAEs) include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a patient, is a Grade 4 AE according to the CTCAE, version3.0. Events which were part of the natural course of the disease under study were captured as part of the clinical activity outcome variables in this study; therefore did not need to be reported as SAEs. Progression/recurrence of the tumor was recorded as part of the clinical assessment data collection, and deaths due to progressive disease was recorded on a specific form, but not as an SAE. However, if the investigator considered that there was a causal relationship between treatment or protocol design/procedures and the disease progression/recurrence, then the event was reported as an SAE. Any new primary cancer (non-related to the cancer under study) was reported as an SAE.
