简要总结

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

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of low-dose interleukin-2 in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent kidney cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • Assess the response rate and survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with low-dose intravenous interleukin-2.
  • Assess the toxicity associated with this treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients receive low-dose intravenous interleukin-2 every 8 hours for a maximum of 15 doses in week 1 and again in week 3. Stable and responding patients receive a second course beginning approximately 2 months after initiation of the first course. Responding patients may continue therapy every 2 months provided toxicity is limited.

Patients whose diseased kidney comprises the bulk of the tumor burden at entry undergo nephrectomy.

Patients are followed for survival.
