Natural interferon-alpha preparation "Sumiferon" was recently developed in Japan. This is a human lymphoblastoid interferon (HLBI) preparation. Like other interferon preparations, this preparation showed both direct and indirect antitumor effect and the toxicities were moderate. The phase I-II studies were carried out in 38 major institutions in Japan. In the phase I study in 5 patients with advanced breast cancer, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was found to be 12 X 10(6) units/day given for 1 month. In the phase II study, HLBI was given in at 3 approximately 6 X 10(6) units/day. Out of 391 cases, 280 were evaluable. Complete and partial responses (CR and PR) were observed in 40 (14.3%) out of 280 evaluable cases, including 11 (19.6%) out of 56 renal cell cancer, 14 (19.2%) out of 73 multiple myeloma, and 9 (17.3) out of 52 malignant lymphoma among others. Major side effects observed were: fever (69.8%), gastrointestinal disturbances (31.4%), leukopenia (30.7%), thrombocytopenia (27.8%), hepatotoxicities (23.6%) and general fatigue (22.1%). Sumiferon seemed to be one of useful antitumor drugs effective against renal cancer.
天然干扰素α制剂“Sumiferon”最近在日本研制成功。这是一种人淋巴母细胞干扰素(HLBI)制剂。与其他干扰素制剂一样,该制剂显示出直接和间接的抗肿瘤作用,且毒性适中。在日本的38家主要机构进行了I-II期研究。在针对5例晚期乳腺癌患者的I期研究中,发现最大耐受剂量(MTD)为12×10⁶单位/天,给药1个月。在II期研究中,HLBI的给药剂量约为3×6×10⁶单位/天。在391例病例中,280例可评估。在280例可评估病例中,有40例(14.3%)观察到完全缓解和部分缓解(CR和PR),其中包括56例肾细胞癌中的11例(19.6%)、73例多发性骨髓瘤中的14例(19.2%)以及52例恶性淋巴瘤中的9例(17.3%)等。观察到的主要副作用有:发热(69.8%)、胃肠道紊乱(31.4%)、白细胞减少(30.7%)、血小板减少(27.8%)、肝毒性(23.6%)和全身疲劳(22.1%)。Sumiferon似乎是一种对肾癌有效的有用抗肿瘤药物之一。
