Participant Flow

This is a Phase I/II study. Phase I is a dose finding study, and Phase II will use the doses determined by the Phase I portion to further look at efficacy. During Phase I, it was determined to look at Childs A patients separately from Childs B patients. Patients who were Childs B required a dose reduction during Phase I.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 4 yrs

Population: All pts who received treatment and had a post-baseline assessment

Kaplan-Meier Analyses will be used to calculate the median and 95% Confidence Interval for the time until in-field failure. This will be calculated from the time of treatment until the time of in-field failure. If a patient did not have in-field failure, the patient will be censored at their last evaluation date.
