Primary Outcome Measures:

Disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: 3.5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Progression rate [ Time Frame: 28 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	35
Study Start Date:	May 2004
Study Completion Date:	May 2010
Primary Completion Date:	September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Study group: GM-CSF, IFN, IL-2	Drug: GM-CSF, IFN alpha and IL-2 Treatment during 6 months: GM-CSF, 1 mcg/kg, 3 times per week, subcutaneously, first week of each month; IFN, 10 MIU, 3 times per week, subcutaneously, second week, and IL-2, 1 MIU, 3 tiw, intravenously, third week. Fourth week of each month was free from treatment.

Detailed Description:

Patients with high-risk RCC have a dismal prognosis. To date, no effective adjuvant therapy exists for this patients category. We suggest that combination of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interferon alpha (IFN) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) stimulate immune system from dendritic cells till cytotoxic T-lymphocytes step by step and eliminate residuary tumor cells.

This prospective, non-randomized, phase II trial assessed low-dose GM-CSF, IFN and IL-2 postoperatively in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma.
