A therapy for treatment of patients with cancer utilizing the combination of a cytokine in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for systemic administration and a cytokine in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for local administration is described. In the most preferred embodiment, brain tumors are treated with a cytokine such as GM-CSF administered systemically, most preferably in combination with tumor antigen such as replication incompetent tumor cells, and a cytokine such as IL-2 or IL-4 administered locally, most preferably in a vehicle providing release over a period of time, such as transduced cells, again most preferably replication incompetent tumor cells, or incorporated into microparticulate vehicles such as polymeric microspheres.

La présente invention concerne une thérapie permettant de traiter des patients atteints de cancer en combinant l'administration par voie générale d'une cytokine et d'un véhicule pharmaceutiquement acceptable avec l'administration locale d'une cytokine et d'un véhicule pharmaceutiquement acceptable. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, les tumeurs cérébrales sont traitées au moyen d'une cytokine telle que le GM-CSF administré par voie générale, de préférence en combinaison avec un antigène tumoral tel que des cellules tumorales incapables de se répliquer, et d'une cytokine telle que l'IL-2 ou l'IL-4 administrée localement, de préférence dans un véhicule assurant sa libération lente tel que des cellules transduites, et de préférence des cellules tumorales incapables de se répliquer, ou incorporée dans des véhicules microparticulaires tels que des microsphères polymères.
