#' ECOG E2696 Trial
#'
#' A data set from the ECOG E2696 trial comparing the combination of the GM2-KLH/QS-21 (GMK) vaccine
#' and high-dose interferon alfa-2b (IFN) therapy with the GMK vaccine alone in resected high-risk
#' melanoma patients. The study results were described in Kirkwood et al. (2001) <doi:10.1200/JCO.2001.19.5.1430>.
#' This data set only includes patients without nodal metastasis.
