and how randomized assignment influences the willingness of patients to participate.

  if Complete Response after 6 cycles:
     then 10-mg on days 2-22 every 28 days for 12 cycles.
  if Partial Response after 6 cycles:
     continue 20 mg for 3~6 cycles and then 10 mg on days 2-22 every 28-day cycles for up to 18 cycles
