Study shows combination of immune substances to be safe

be safe ?which was the purpose of the study ?but the researchers found that it stopped disease progression in five of the patients for at least six months.

"Our findings were encouraging," Carson says. "They indicate that we can safely administer IL-12 in combination with interferon, that it enhances the action of interferon in some patients with advanced cancer, and that it can be an effective way to stimulate the immune system."

Based on the study's results, and the results of earlier animal studies led by the research group, Carson and his colleagues are conducting a multicenter phase II clinical trial of the two drugs in people with melanoma.

Phase-II trials are the first step in determining the effectiveness of new therapy against a specific disease.

"We believe that use of the two drugs together will give us more bang for the buck," says first author Gregory B. Lesinski, a research assistant professor in the Human Cancer Genetics Program.

"We hope that the IL-12 will allow us to use lower doses of interferon in patients, which should result in fewer side effects and potentially a longer use of interferon, giving the immune system more time to fight the tumor."
