Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether participants exhibit a measurable immune response after multiple administrations of HSPPC-96 (heat shock protein-peptide complex 96), as assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Renal Cell Carcinoma Biological: HSPPC-96 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The study consists of two parts: Part 1 with Part 1a (Assessment of Immune Variation) and Part 1b (Assay Standardization), and Part 2 (Immune Monitoring Study). The study was terminated early with 12 participants enrolled only in Part 1a and Part 1b. Part 2 of the study involved randomization after 8 doses of HSSPC-96. After the 8 doses of HSSPC-96 administered in Part 2, the participants were to be randomized to the treatment extension arm or the placebo extension arm. There were no participants enrolled in Part 2 since the study was terminated early. Therefore, no randomization occurred in the conduct of this study and only a single arm was enrolled.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: HSPPC-96 Vaccine
Participants will receive up to 8 administrations of HSPPC-96 25 µg intradermally over 3 months (4 weekly doses, followed by 4 bi-weekly doses [at Weeks 14, 15, 16, 17 19, 21, 23, and 25 in Part 1a and at Weeks 1-4, 6, 8, 10, 12 in Part 1b). Participants will remain untreated with HSPPC-96 for the initial 3-month period in Part 1a for immune monitoring blood draw.
