| Primary | Proportion of Participants With Treatment Success | Treatment success was evaluated at 6 months in Phase II and is defined as a complete or partial response without secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy and no recurrent malignancy or death. In Phase III, treatment success was evaluated at 24 months and is defined as a complete response without secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy and no recurrent malignancy or death. | Twelve participants withdrew study consent between 6 and 24 months post-randomization, so are excluded from the analysis of treatment success at 24 months. | Posted | | Count of Participants | | Participants | | 6 months and 24 months post-randomization | | | | ID | Title | Description |
