Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and toxicity of sargramostim (recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF) given by continuous intravenous infusion (CIV) in patients with leukopenia in association with AIDS virus infection. In addition, single dose and steady state pharmacokinetics will also be determined.
