[Medical treatment of metastatic cancer of the kidney with a combination of vinblastine and recombinant interferon alpha IIa. Result of a phase I-II trial].
Usual treatments of metastatic renal cell carcinoma are not efficient. Phase II trials using Interferon alpha showed a low response rate (10 to 15%). We have conducted a phase I-II trial using a combination of Vinblastine and Recombinant alpha 2 A Interferon in 21 patients. The response rate is of 43% including 1 complete and 8 partial remissions, 5 stabilizations and 8 progressive diseases. In spite of important side effects, these results are promising.
