Abstract:
*Background: * High-Dose Interleukin-2 (HD IL2) remains a good option
for treatment of metastatic renal cancer. As a first-line treatment, in
carefully selected patients, it can produce high rates of response ( OR
50%; CR 25%) (Shablak A et al., J Immunotherapy 2011, 34(1):107-122).
Its use after targeted therapies is controversial and there are reports
of increased toxicity, particularly an increased incidence of
cardiovascular toxicity (and possibly a reduced response rate (Cho DC et
al., J Immunotherapy 2009, 32(2):181-520). However, there is potential
to use it either in patients who have failed treatment with targeted
therapy or as a consolidation therapy after successful treatment with a
targeted agent. *Methods: * Here we present the outcomes of 16 patients
treated with first-line immunotherapy with HD-IL2 after targeted
therapy: of these 8 had been treated after failure of 1-3 lines of
targeted therapy and 8 have been treated as consolidation after initial
response to sunitinib. The histological characteristics of the tumours
all fitted into the “favourable” group as defined previously by us and
all had high levels of expression of CAIX (> 80%). All had ECOG PS 0/1,
a satisfactory baseline stress echo, an interval of at least 8 weeks
from last dose of targeted agent to start of HD-IL2 and at most 2 organs
of disease. *Results: * Toxicity is indistinguishable from that of
patients without prior treatment and no patient needed inotropic support
or admission to intensive care. The number of doses given per cycle was
also similar to that in unpretreated patients. Overall the response
rates are excellent – with 9/13 evaluable patients having RECIST defined
response and 6/13 having a complete remission. To date none of the
patients in complete remission have realpsed but follow up is relatively
short with the longest being 24 months. The responses have been
particularly striking following treatment with mTor inhibitors.
*Conclusions: * Overall, HD IL2 can be given safely in carefully
selected patients after targeted therapies. It appears to be effective
as a salvage therapy and potentially as a consolidation therapy. Updated
results will be presented.
