Preclinical data suggest synergy of interleukin-2 (IL-2) combined with alphainterferon (IFN). In addition, toxicities of IL-2 may be decreased by intermittent continuous infusion. The purpose of this trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of recombinant IL-2 combined with alpha-IFN

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The current study evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of interleukinβ2 (ILβ2), interferonβΞ± (IFNβΞ±), 5βfluorouracil (5βFU), and vinblastine (VBL) in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC). ## METHODS Sixtyβtwo MRCC patients, median age 63 years, receive
## Background: In patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mrcc), interferon-alpha (ifn) monotherapy leads to response rates of 5-15%, dependent on the selection of patients. in 1995, preclinical and clinical data indicated an improvement of these results if ifn was combined with 13-cis retin
