Abstract
Between March 1989 and June 1990, 133 patients were treated with interleukin 2 (rIL-2) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a multicentre open non-randomised study. The results show an objective response rate of 14% (95% confidence interval 8-21) with 4 patients achieving a complete remission. This is in keeping with the data from previous studies using rIL-2 by continuous infusion. It is of interest that 87% of objective responses occurred in hospitals that entered 5 or more patients.
