About this study

Official title: Interleukin-2 In An Alternative Dose (The Iliad Trial): Treatment Of Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma With Low Dose Proleukin

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill kidney cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase IV trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the overall response rate, complete and partial response rates, and duration of response in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with low-dose interleukin-2.
  • Determine the overall survival, one-year progression-free survival, and two-year progression-free survival in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the incidence of adverse events in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive low-dose interleukin-2 subcutaneously 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Courses repeat every 9 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 464 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing aldesleukin in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jan 2014.
