Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cancer vaccine tecemotide L-BLP25 in addition to best supportive care is effective in prolonging the lives of subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer compared to best supportive care alone

A local ancillary sub study in European centers will evaluate the immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide L-BLP25 or placebo vaccination
Detailed Description: Ancillary Trial An exploratory investigation of immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide L-BLP25 or placebo vaccination

The ancillary study is a sub-study within START This is an exploratory investigation of the immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide L-BLP25 or placebo vaccination The main objective is to evaluate whether administration of single-shot low-dose cyclophosphamide followed by tecemotide L-BLP25 vaccinations induces specific immune response in peripheral blood to BLP25 the mucinous glycoprotein 1 MUC1 antigen as well as a modulation of cellular and soluble components of the immune response in subjects with unresectable stage III NSCLC

Twenty-five of the European START sites will participate in the ancillary study

Sample size up to 60 to 80 subjects

All inclusion criteria specified in the START clinical trial protocol except for hemoglobin 100 gramLiter gL

All exclusion criteria are the same as specified in the START clinical trial protocol

Schedule of events Blood samples will be taken at baseline visit week 4 8 13 and 25 80 milliliter mL whole blood each
