SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 Weeks

Population: 28 (56%) of 50 patients started IL-2/GM-CSF immunotherapy. Stopping rules were not met for this study.

IL-2/GM-CSF toxicity assessed using the NCI Toxicity Criteria. Toxicity was defined as any grade 2, 3, 4 or 5 CNS (except grade 0-3 malaise and fatigue) toxicity; any grade 3, 4, or 5 non-CNS or non-hematological toxicity (except grade 0-3 bilirubin); or any grade 4 or 5 hematological toxicity.
