Primary Outcome Measures:

All adverse events up to the end of study [ Time Frame: 3.5 years ]
Survival status at end of study [ Time Frame: 3.5 years ]
Serum antibodies to Interferon gamma-1b after the last injection. [ Time Frame: 3.5 years ]

Enrollment:	91
Study Start Date:	November 2003
Study Completion Date:	April 2007

Intervention Details:

200 mcg, SQ, 3x per week

Detailed Description:

Open-label therapy will be administered subcutaneously. Patients enrolled will continue to receive Interferon gamma-1b therapy three times per week and will be evaluated at 6-week intervals. Patients not taking Interferon gamma-1b at enrollment will re-initiate therapy with subcutaneous Interferon gamma-1b under a dose-escalation scheme, reaching full dose after 2 weeks.
