E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1) immunological efficacy, as assessed by quantification of circulating immune effectors specific for a selected panel of tumor antigens. 2) predictive value of pretreatment serum biomarkers in identifying patients who will benefit from high dose IL-2 based therapy. |
