Study Arms:
- Thalidomide (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Single arm study:~Eligible patients will receive thalidomide at a starting dose of 50 mg/day by mouth at bedtime for 4 weeks. In the event of unsatisfactory/no response, thalidomide dosage will be progressively increased by 50 mg/day every 4 weeks until complete or partial response, to a maximum dose of 200 mg/day.~Treatment will be continued until one of the following criteria is met:~* 8 additional weeks of treatment after the achievement of complete response~* 16 additional weeks of treatment after the achievement of partial response~* 24 weeks of treatment completed without response~* unacceptable toxicity. Then, patients will be followed off of thalidomide for 24 weeks.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
