Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: SQ GM-CSF 250 mcg/m2/doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If the SQ 125 mcg/m2/dose arm is not successful in a cohort of subjects (or if the IV dose had to be escalated to 250 mcg/m2/dose), we will transition to 250 mcg/m2/day via the SQ route for 7 consecutive days in a subsequent cohort.
Group II: SQ GM-CSF 125 mcg/m2/doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in this arm who demonstrate immunoparalysis will receive GM-CSF by the subcutaneous (SQ) route at a dose of 125 mcg/m2/day for 7 consecutive days.
Group III: IV GM-CSF 250 mcg/m2/doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If the IV 125 mcg/m2/dose arm is not successful in the first cohort of subjects, we will transition to 250 mcg/m2/day via the IV route for 7 consecutive days in a subsequent cohort.
Group IV: IV GM-CSF 125 mcg/m2/doseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in this arm who demonstrate immunoparalysis will receive GM-CSF by the intravenous (IV) route at a dose of 125 mcg/m2/day for 7 consecutive days.
