Active Control
Group I: Group A (Vigil™)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Vigil immunotherapy was administered at a concentration of at 1 x 10e7 cells/injection via intradermal injection for a minimum of 4 doses and a maximum of 12 doses starting ≥3 weeks following completion of chemotherapy (no longer than 2.5 months post chemotherapy). Participants were treated monthly for up to 12 months as long as sufficient Vigil was available and the participant was clinically stable.
Group II: Group B (Observational - Standard of Care)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants received standard of care without maintenance therapy.
