- World Health Organization (WHO) performance status 0 - 1 at the time of randomization.
- If the patient is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. have a current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or be post menopausal, or if she is of childbearing potential, she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days prior to administration of study treatment, have a negative pregnancy test and continue such precautions during all study treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the injection series.
- The patient should be affiliated to health insurance or benefit of such an insurance
Exclusion
- The patient has previous or concomitant malignancies at other sites except effectively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, incidental localised prostatic carcinoma or effectively treated malignancy that has been in remission for over 5 years.
- The patient has received any anti cancer systemic treatment, including immunotherapy (local intravesical BCG is allowed), chemotherapy, except:
- For the treatment of previous malignancies as allowed by the protocol (i.e., non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, incidental localised prostatic carcinoma or effectively treated malignancy that has been in remission for over 5 years).
- For the treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for their muscle invasive bladder cancer
- For the treatment with adjuvant cisplatinum-based chemotherapy for their muscle invasive bladder cancer
- The patient has received radiotherapy of the abdominal or pelvic region, within 6 months prior to randomization.
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
- The patient has a known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic hepatitis B or C.
- The patient has a history of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study investigational product.

- Patient has received a major organ allograft.
- The patient requires concomitant treatment with systemic corticosteroids, or any other immunosuppressive agents. Note: the use of prednisone, or equivalent, \< 0,125 mg/kg/day (absolute maximum 10 mg/day), or inhaled corticosteroids or topical steroids is permitted.
- The patient has received any investigational or non-registered medicinal product other than the study medication within the 30 days preceding the first dose of study medication, or plans to receive such a drug during the study.
- The patient has psychiatric or addictive disorders that may compromise his/her ability to give informed consent or to comply with the trial procedures.
- The patient has other concurrent severe medical problems, unrelated to the malignancy, that would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose the patient to unacceptable risk.
