Detailed Description:
-
Biological: Lucanix® (belagenpumatucel-L)

Other Name: Lucanix
The primary objective of this study is to increase the overall survival of the study subjects by providing expanded access to Lucanix. Overall survival and progression-free survivals will be compared with historical controls.
The secondary objectives of this study are:
- Evaluate the best overall tumor response.
- Evaluate progression-free survival (PFS).
- Evaluate treatment toxicity.
