  Purpose

This study is being done to see if an experimental drug called recombinant interleukin-21 (rIL-21) when given to patients with stage 4 malignant melanoma or stage 4 kidney cancer is safe and has any effect on these types of cancers.

Official Title: A Phase 1 Open-Label Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Recombinant Human Interleukin-21 (rIL-21) in Subjects With Metastatic Melanoma or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Further study details as provided by ZymoGenetics:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of rIL-21
  • To further characterize the safety of rIL-21 at the MTD

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Characterize pharmacokinetics of rIL-21
  • Evaluate immunogenicity of rIL-21
  • Identify clinical or biological parameters that may correlate with clinical efficacy
  • Characterize anti-tumor effect of IL-21

Primary Completion Date: January 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

This is a phase 1 safety study. Everyone enrolled and eligible will be given rIL-21. The study has 2 parts, Part A will determine how high a dose of rIl-21 can be safely given to patients with these types of cancers. Part B will determine if the drug is of any benefit to patients with these types of cancers. Part A may have up to 7 different dose groups. Beginning with the lowest dose, 3 patients will be treated and will be watched for side effects. If the side effects are not severe, the next group of 3 patients will recieve a higher dose. This cycle is repeated until the highest tolerated dose group is found.
