摘要
In a randomized study of advanced renal cell carcinoma 60 patients were allocated to treatment with either recombinant interferon alpha-2a or medroxyprogesterone acetate. Correlation between the dose of interferon alpha-2a and plasma-concentration indicated linear kinetics. Survival was similar in the two treatment groups. Only one complete and one partial response were seen in the interferon group and only one complete response in the medroxyprogesterone group, indicating a low therapeutic potential of both interferon and medroxyprogesterone. Interferon influenced the serum liver enzyme levels; increased transaminases were seen in 17 patients treated with interferon but in only four patients in the medroxyprogesterone group. Two patients had very high serum liver-enzyme levels concomitant with intolerable tiredness, in both patients the symptoms disappeared and the enzymes normalized after discontinuation of the interferon treatment. Antibodies to interferon developed frequently in patients receiving high dose oligomeric interferon therapy but rarely in patients receiving low dose monomeric interferon treatment. ©1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
