The purposes of this study are fourfold. It will 1) determine what dose of interleukin-12
(IL-12) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) combination therapy can be given safely to patients with
advanced cancer; 2) evaluate the side effects of this treatment; 3) examine how the body
handles this drug combination; and 4) determine whether and how the therapy may cause the
immune system to stop or slow tumor growth.
IL-2 is an approved drug for treating melanoma and kidney cancer. IL-12 is an experimental
drug that has shown anti-cancer activity in animals, shrinking tumors and slowing their
growth. Animal studies suggest that given together, the drugs may be more effective against
cancer than either one singly.
Patients 18 years of age and older with advanced solid-tumor cancers (kidney, breast, lung,
sarcomas and others) that do not improve with standard treatment may qualify for this study.
Candidates will have a physical examination, including blood and urine tests,
electrocardiogram (EKG) and echocardiogram, DTH skin test (to test the function of the immune
system), chest X-ray and lung function tests to determine eligibility. Bone marrow biopsy and
imaging procedures such as CT and MRI scans may also be required. Patients over 50 years old
will also undergo exercise stress testing.
Treatment will consist of four courses of IL-2 and IL-12. On days one and nine of each
course, patients will receive three doses (one every 8 hours) of IL-2 intravenously (through
a vein). On days two, four, six, 10, 12 and 14, they will receive IL-12 intravenously. This
will be followed by a recovery period from days 15 through 35. This regimen will be repeated
for another three cycles; patients who show benefit without severe side effects may continue
for additional cycles. Treatment for the first cycle will be administered in the hospital. If
the drugs are well tolerated, additional therapy may be given on an outpatient basis.
A biopsy (removal of a small sample of tumor tissue) will be done at the beginning of the
study, after completing the first treatment cycle, and possibly again when the cancer slows,
stops or gets worse, or if the patient leaves the study. These tumor samples will be examined
to evaluate the effects of treatment. Several blood samples also will be collected during the
course of treatment to monitor immune system effects. A device called a heparin lock may be
put in place to avoid multiple needle sticks.

- INCLUSION CRITERIA: Adult patients 18 years of age and older. Pathologically or cytologically-proven diagnosis of non-hematologic malignancy, and the presence of radiographically or clinically evaluable disease. Patients with solid tumors including renal, breast, lung carcinomas, as well as sarcomas for whom a proven more effective therapy does not exist. Patients with renal cell cancer will have received sunitinib or sorefinib or refused this option. Patients must not have received myelosuppressive chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within four weeks of entry onto this protocol. Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Patients must be free of acute infection or other significant systemic illness. Negative serologic testing for hepatitis B will be required to limit confounding variables in the assessment of the potential hepatic toxicity of this combination. Negative serologic testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) will be required given the uncertain impact of rhIL-12 and/or rhIL-2 administration on viral replication, and the potential alterations in immune responsiveness among patients concurrently infected with HIV. Adequate hepatic and renal function as evidence by: Transaminases less than 2.5 times the upper limit or normal; Total serum bilirubin less than 2.0 mg/dl; Serum Cr less than 2.0 mg/dl or calculated creatinine clearance of greater than 60 ml/min/1.73M(2). Adequate bone marrow function (without growth factor support) as evidence by: Absolute Neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 1500 cells/mm(3); Platelets greater than 100,000/mm(3). For women of childbearing potential, a negative urine pregnancy test within 14 days prior to initiation of study therapy is required. For patients of child-bearing potential, contraceptive precautions must be maintained during study participation. Normal pulmonary function (as documented by PFTs), and for patients over the age of 50, normal stress thallium testing. Normal pulmonary function testing will be defined as DLCO greater than 60% of predicted and FEVI greater than 70% of predicted. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Critically-ill or medically unstable patients. History or a presence of brain metastases. History of coronary artery disease, angina or myocardial infarction. Presence of clinically significant pleural effusion. History of malignant hyperthermia are. Concurrent or history of autoimmune disease. History of congenital or acquired coagulation disorder. Patients with a history of ongoing or intermittent bowel obstruction. Women who are pregnant or lactating will be excluded. Systemic corticosteroids, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to study entry. Patients who have received any of the following agents with known immunomodulatory effects within 4 weeks prior to study entry: G-CSF/GM-CSF, interferons or interleukins, growth hormone, IVIG, retinoic acid. Patients with a history of previous therapy with rhIL-12 will be excluded from study participation. For patients with renal cell carcinoma, a history of therapy with rhIL-2 will not exclude patients from study participation. Patients with concurrent administration of any other investigational agent. Patients with hematologic malignancies including leukemia or lymphoma. History of bone marrow or stem-cell transplantation. Intercurrent radiation therapy patients will be allowed on study if in the opinion of the principal investigator(s) its use is not necessitated by disease progression. For patients with disease progression, radiation therapy will be administered as clinically indicated and the patient will be withdrawn from study participation. |
