  • IL-2 is an immunotherapy that can give complete responses that last years
  • The database retrospectively looked back over a 5-year period
  • The registry showed that IL-2 still gives an occasional, durable response
  • The registry also showed that clinical factors such as normal LDH and patient performance status is important in determining who will be successful on IL-2
  • Patients with stable disease or did not seem to respond to IL-2 initially had better overall survival than previously thought, according to the registry findings
