  • Look Inside

Since 1980, phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of Hu-IFN-β have been done in the field of neurosurgery. In the present study, (1) the results of in vivo ex-periments of Hu-IFN-β are reported and (2) the effectiveness of Hu-IFN-13 in patients with malig-nant brain tumors is also evaluated.

(1) The antitumor activities of β-IFN and poly ICLC in nude mice receiving subcutaneous transplants of human brain tumors (2 strains) were compared with those of conventional anticancer drugs. After 3 weeks of treatment with ACNU, vincristinc, bleomycin, mitomycin C, β-IFN and poly ICLC, tumor reduction rates were evaluated by the method of Battelle. The effectiveness of β-IFN and poly ICLC was slightly inferior to that of ACNU and vincristine, although tumor reduc-tion rates (treated/control values) of 43% and 39% were respectively obtained with β-IFN and poly ICLC against one strain of glioblastoma.

(2) Clinically, 7 patients with malignant brain tumors were given β-IFN (4 by intratumor admi-nistration and 3 by intravenous injection) in a dose of 3×106 to 9×106 IU/day for 2 to 6 months to study the efficiency and side effects of IFN treat-ment. One of four patients given IFN intratumor-ally showed a reduction in tumor size (partial response) by CT scan ; the three patients injected IFN intravenously were unchanged. There were no noteworthy side effects in the cases treated intratumorally except for fever occurring in one patient. In the patients treated intravenously, however, fever, general malaise, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia were noted.
