Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of post-operative high-dose bolus interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this prospective, randomized, controlled trial is to compare the disease-free and overall survival of patients with stage III or IV high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who were treated with adjuvant high-dose interleukin-2 vs observation alone.

Patients are stratified according to their disease classification and randomized to one course of IL-2 \[600,000 U/kg every 8 hours on days 1 to 5 and days 15 to 19 (maximum 28 doses)\] or observation.
