In a phase I/II study the safety, immunostimulatory and antitumour effects of a combined OKT3/interleukin 2 (IL-2) treatment was studied in 15 cancer patients who failed IL-2 treatment. OKT3 was given as a 2-h intravenous infusion. Doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mug OKT3 were studied. Within 24 h, subcutaneous IL-2 was started 5 days/week for 4 weeks, at a dose of 9-18 x 10(6) U daily. Maximum tolerated dose was 400 pg OKT3 with neurotoxicity as dose-limiting toxicity. Toxicity of subcutaneous IL-2 was acceptable. At the maximum tolerated dose, 9 patients with renal cell carcinoma with measurable disease were treated in a phase II setting. 8 patients were evaluable for response. 4 patients had stable disease and 4 had progressive disease. An increase of activated lymphocyte subpopulations could not be found, although OKT3 was detectable on lymphocytes in vivo. Only if laboratory studies shed light on methods of improving immunostimulating effects of OKT3 will further clinical studies be warranted.
