A Phase II Study Of Autologous Tumor/DC Vaccine (DC Vaccine) Combined With Interleukin-2 (IL-2) And Interferon-α-2a (IFNα-2a) In Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Aldesleukin,, autologous tumor cell vaccine, and 1 other intervention for Kidney Cancer. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a patient's dendritic cells and tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's lymphocytes to kill kidney cancer cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 and interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vaccine therapy together with interleukin-2 and interferon alfa works in treating patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer).

Timeline
Interventions
Recombinant human interleukin-2 (Proleukin, Chiron Therapeutics) will be administered as a five day (120 hr) continuous intravenous infusion at a dose of 18x106 IU per square meter of body surface area per day as per the Negrier regimen (21). The treatment schedule consists of two induction cycles and three maintenance cycles. Each induction cycle consists of two five-day courses of interleukin-2 infusion separated by a nine-day break. Each maintenance cycle consists of a five-day infusion followed by 23-day rest period of no therapy.
we will administer 1 X 107 DC cells. The autologous tumor cell vaccine (1 X 107 cells/1cc) in lactated ringers solution and injected into one (or two if clinically necessary) inguinal lymph nodes under ultrasound guidance. Each cycle of DC vaccine will be administered alternately in the right and left inguinal lymph nodes.
Recombinant human interferon alfa-2a (Roferon, Roche), at a dose of 6 million IU per day three times a week subcutaneously will be given during the two interleukin-2 induction cycles and during each interleukin-2 maintenance cycle
