Clinical trials using interferon to treat human malignancies are currently hampered by limited supplies of the compound. We have utilized a human tumor cloning system as an assay for the antitumor effects of human leukocyte interferon. Interferon was tested against 62 patients' tumors growing in thi

โฆ Synopsis
The antitumor activity of Carbetimer was tested against 171 patient's tumors in a human tumor cloning system. Sixty-seven tumor specimens had adequate growth to be considered evaluable. In 21 specimens survival of tumor colony forming units was less than or equal to 50% that in control plates. Antitumor effect was most impressive in carcinomas of the breast, ovary, and lung. This information will be useful in planning disease oriented Phase II trials.
