A phase-I trial to assess the safety and tolerability of human interleukin-12 (IL-12) plasmid (phIL-12) formulated with a synthetic lipopolymer, polyethyleneglycol-polyethyleneimine-cholesterol (PPC), was conducted on women with chemotherapy-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. A total of 13 patients were enrolled in four dose-escalating cohorts and treated with 0.6, 3, 12 or 24 mg m(-2) of the formulated plasmid once every week for 4 weeks. Administration of phIL-12/PPC was generally safe and well-tolerated. Common side effects included low-grade fever and abdominal pain. Stable disease and reduction in serum CA-125 levels were clinically observed in some patients. Measurable levels of IL-12 plasmid were detectable in PF samples collected throughout the course of phIL-12/PPC treatment. In comparison, serum samples either did not contain detectable amounts of plasmid DNA or contained
