Safety of recombinant interleukin-7 (IL-7)

Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Interleukin-7 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-7 in treating patients with metastatic melanoma or locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of recombinant interleukin-7 (IL-7) in patients with metastatic melanoma or locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
  • Confirm the previously documented safety profile of non-glycosylated IL-7 in these patients.
  • Determine the safety of higher doses of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.
  • Determine the biologically active dose of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.
  • Compare the biological and clinical effects of recombinant IL-7 with non-glycosylated IL-7 in these patients.
  • Determine the potential antitumor effect of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.
  • Determine the dose and administration schedule of recombinant IL-7 in these patients.
