Summary
Study start date: February 1, 1996
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive high dose cyclophosphamide IV on days 1-4. Beginning on day 10, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) until the absolute neutrophil count is greater than 1,000/mm3 for 2 consecutive days. Patients are followed every 3 months for at least 2 years and annually thereafter.
