A possible reason for higher test arm dropout

Lightrock:

Here is a possible reason for some dropouts in the test arm. This taken from the NIH Clinical Trials Website.

Biological: LI
LI 400IU (2.0mL total daily) 1.0 mL peritumoral, 1.0 mL perilymphatic 5x weekly x3 weeks administered in combination with cyclophosphamide indomethacin and zinc (CIZ) as adjuvant therapy prior to SOC, (surgery followed by radiation or concurrent radiochemotherapy with cisplatin 100mg/m^2 intravenously) to determine if LI plus CIZ affects the overall survival of subjects at median 3 years.
Other Names:
Multikine
Leukocyte interleukin, injection

This is pretty invasive. Imagine this can be pretty painful. Fifteen doses in 21 days. I assume multiple shot around and in the tumor. Ouch.

Cheers from Oregon on a winter evening.
