Interleukin-2 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Kidney Cancer

January 8, 2014 updated by: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

Interleukin-2 In An Alternative Dose (The Iliad Trial): Treatment Of Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma With Low Dose Proleukin

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill kidney cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase IV trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the overall response rate, complete and partial response rates, and duration of response in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with low-dose interleukin-2.
  • Determine the overall survival, one-year progression-free survival, and two-year progression-free survival in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the incidence of adverse events in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive low-dose interleukin-2 subcutaneously 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Courses repeat every 9 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 464 patients will be accrued for this study.
