Official title
The High-Dose Aldesleukin (IL-2) "Select" Trial: A Trial Designed to Prospectively Validate Predictive Models of Response to High Dose IL-2 Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
High-dose interleukin 2 (Proleukin, Novartis) (IL-2) is approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of metastatic kidney cancer and is a standard treatment of this disease. At the present time, IL-2 is the only therapy for kidney cancer that can produce a remission of disease that lasts after treatment is completed. However, most patients who receive IL-2 do not benefit and all patients experience potentially dangerous side effects. Recent research has suggested that certain patients may respond better to IL-2 than others. The Cytokine Working Group is currently conducting a clinical trial that aims to identify and confirm this research and narrow the application of IL-2 to those patients most likely to benefit.
