This type of IFN is a new subspecies of the IFN-alpha protein family. Its specific activity is 1-2 x 10(9) U/mg protein, the highest among IFN-alpha species presently available. Pharmacokinetic study indicated good bioavailability of the preparation from the intramuscular injection. A phase II study was performed to assess the response rate related to rIFN-alpha C at a low dosage. A dose of 3 x 10(6) U daily was administered, followed by 3 x 10(6) U/m2 every other day to avoid severe toxicity. Among 33 treated patients, a partial remission rate of 9.7% and stable disease rate of 25.8% were achieved. Side effects were usually mild and the treatment was well tolerated by the patients. However, mental deterioration and behavioral changes were observed in five patients with RCC treated by rIFN-alpha C and were related to neurotoxicity of IFN. The role of vinblastine in addition to IFN in the treatment of RCC was assessed in nine patients who had failed on IFN alone. No response was observed. It appeared that vinblastine had little if any effect in being added to IFN as second-line therapy. We conclude that rIFN-alpha C has moderate activity in the treatment of RCC.

Methods that reduce the dosage of rIL-2 without loss of clinical efficacy are needed. In this study we determined the in vitro effect of a phytochemical immune modulator, Astragalus membranaceus (AM), and two fractions isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography on the cytotoxicity of rIL-2-generated LAK cells against a murine renal cell carcinoma. Our results indicated a 10-fold potentiation of rIL-2-generated LAK cell cytotoxicity manifested by tumor cell lysis of 88% in the group with 100 U/ml of rIL-2 plus AM versus 86% in the group with 1,000 U/ml of rIL-2 alone. Potentiation was obtained with the purified fractions as well. A significantly reduced number of LAK cells was required to achieve the tumor cytotoxicity after LAK cell generation with rIL-2 plus the phytochemicals as compared with rIL-2 alone.
