Chiron Corp., Emeryville, CA 94608-2916.
PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy and toxicity of a high-dose
interleukin-2 (IL-2) regimen in patients with metastatic renal cell
carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred fifty-five assessable patients
were entered onto seven phase II clinical trials. Proleukin (aldesleukin;
Chiron Corp, Emeryville, CA) 600,000 or 720,000 IU/kg was administered by
15-minute intravenous (i.v.) infusion every 8 hours for up to 14
consecutive doses over 5 days as clinically tolerated with maximum support,
including pressors. A second identical cycle of treatment was scheduled
following 5 to 9 days of rest, and courses could be repeated every 6 to 12
weeks in stable or responding patients. RESULTS: The overall objective
response rate was 14% (90% confidence interval [CI], 10% to 19%), with 12
(5%) complete responses (CRs) and 24 (9%) partial responses (PRs).
Responses occurred in all sites of disease, including bone, intact primary
tumors, and visceral metastases, and in patients with large tumor burdens
or bulky individual lesions. The median response duration for patients who
achieved a CR has not been reached, but was 19.0 months for those who
achieved a PR. Baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
performance status (PS) was the only predictive prognostic factor for
response to IL-2. While treatment was associated with severe acute
toxicities, these generally reversed rapidly after therapy was completed.
However, 4% of patients died of adverse events judged to be possibly or
probably treatment-related. CONCLUSION: High-dose IL-2 appears to benefit
some patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma by producing durable CRs
or PRs. Despite severe acute treatment- associated toxicities, IL-2 should
be considered for initial therapy of patients with appropriately selected
metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
