Phase II trials have reported response rates with interferon alfa (IFN-a) up to 55%[reviewed in (/)] in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but the optimal therapeutic dose or schedule has not been determined. We compared two different schedules and doses of rIFN-a2a in 40 patients with advanced-stage indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who had either relapsed from a chemotherapyinduced remission or had progressed while on chemotherapy. Additionally, we evaluated the response to high-dose therapy after stable disease (SD) or progression on low-dose rIFN-a2a. Overall toxicity and dose-limiting toxicity between the low-and high-dose groups were also compared.Patients were required to have measurable disease and a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma of one of the following subtypes: follicular small cleaved cell (NPDL), follicular mixed (NML), diffuse intermediately differentiated lymphocytic (DIDL), small lymphocytic (DWDL), or diffuse small cleaved cell (DPDL) lymphoma. These five histologic types are classified as indolent lymphomas according to the National Cancer Institute clinical schema (2). All 40 patients were ambulatory with a Karnofsky performance status of 60% or higher. All had been treated previously with combination chemotherapy. Most patients had had an initial response to previous chemotherapy but had become resistant to chemotherapy or had progressed after a chemotherapy-induced remission (table 1). Eleven patients had relapsed within 3 months of achieving a response to combination chemotherapy, and nine patients had progressive disease (PD) while receiving combination chemotherapy. The remainder had progressed more than 3 months after previous therapy. A minimum of 4 weeks had elapsed between the time of the last treatment and entry in the trial.
