Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Cyclosporine
High dose cyclosporine weeks 1-6, then maintenance dose cyclosporine weeks 7-36. If CR, PR, or SD at week 36 evaluation, treatment is complete. If progression occurs during weeks 7-36, patients will re-register to Step 2 at time of PD and begin high dose therapy (weeks 1-6), followed by maintenance therapy (weeks 7-36). At second progression patients will end protocol treatment.
