- Registration Number
- NCT01833767
- Lead Sponsor
- Western Regional Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine response rates by administering low dose cyclophosphamide on day 1, followed by 5 days of outpatient IL2.
- Detailed Description
To determine the response rate, median duration of response and median survival of patients treated with this low-dose cyclophosphamide + moderate dose bolus Interleukin-2 schedule.
