Group B (12 pts) received the same schedule as group A plus I*w: 10 mg/ms, 1.V. days 1, every 6 weeks. of group A (25%) showed a partial response 3 pts. (PR). The median duration of response was 10 months. For group 8, PR was achieved in 4 pts (33%), the median duration being 7 months. Median survival for group A pts was 11 months (range 3 - 19) and for group B was B months (range 2 - 28). Differences in response and survival were not statistically significant. Severe leucopenia was observed in 1 pt. of group A (12%) and in 6 pts. of group B (50%); severe trombocytopenia, uas seen in 1 pt. of group A (12X), and 4 pts of group El (33%). See table
