8. Patients of child-bearing potential and their partners who are sexually active must agree to the use of 2 highly effective forms of contraception from the patient's signing of the ICF until 6 months after the last/final dose of first-line Pt-based adjuvant chemotherapy or IMP, whichever occurs later:
a. Condom with spermicide and one of the following:
* Oral contraceptive or hormonal therapy (e.g., hormone implants)
* Placement of an intra-uterine device (IUD)
Acceptable non-hormonal birth control methods include:
1. Total sexual abstinence from the patient's signing of the ICF until 6 months after the last/final dose of first-line Pt-based adjuvant chemotherapy or IMP, whichever occurs later
2. Vasectomized sexual partner plus male condom with spermicide and participant assurance that partner received post-vasectomy confirmation of azoospermia
3. Tubal occlusion plus male condom with spermicide
4. IUD plus male condom with spermicide. Provided coils are copper-banded.
Acceptable hormonal methods include:
1. Etonogestrel implants (e.g., Implanon, Norplan) plus male condom with spermicide
2. Normal and low dose combined oral pills plus male condom with spermicide
3. Norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal system plus male condom with spermicide
4. Intravaginal device plus male condom with spermicide (e.g., ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel)
5. Cerazette (desogestrel) plus male condom with spermicide. Cerazette is currently the only highly efficacious progesterone-based pill.
9. Signed informed consent and ability to comprehend its content
Exclusion Criteria:

3. First-line Pt-based adjuvant chemotherapy already started after surgery
4. Intention to treat with intraperitoneal chemotherapy
5. Previous or concurrent radiotherapy to the abdomen and pelvis

7. Malignancy other than EOC, except malignancy that has been in complete remission for a minimum of 3 years and except carcinoma in situ of the cervix or non-melanoma skin carcinomas that have been definitively treated
8. Use of any immunotherapy in the past (e.g., anti-PD-1/PD-L1 or other immune checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic vaccines, adoptive cell therapy, cytokines); in case of uncertainty, discuss with the medical monitor
9. Symptomatic uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases. A scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required. Patients with spinal cord compression may be considered if they have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease for 28 days.

Patients considered a poor medical risk due to other serious, uncontrolled medical disorders, non-malignant systemic diseases or active, uncontrolled infections 10.8. History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study treatment, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate 10.9. Active autoimmune disease requiring treatment 10.10. History of severe forms of primary immune deficiencies 10.11. History of anaphylaxis or other severe reactions following vaccination 10.12.
