Abstract

Recombinant human interferon (IFN)-alpha was the first biotherapeutic agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of a human malignancy. Its efficacy has also been demonstrated for treatment of several viral diseases. The human genome codes for 12 IFN-alpha proteins, with IFN alpha-1 and IFN alpha-2 accounting for the majority of the naturally occurring IFN-as. However, only subspecies of IFN alpha-2, recombinant human IFN alpha-2a and IFN alpha-2b, are commercially available in the United States. Other species of IFN-a may demonstrate equivalent or improved efficacy and have more tolerable side effects. This article describes ongoing preclinical and clinical studies of several new and modified IFN-alphas. A current phase I trial of a human recombinant IFN alpha-1 is described. Basic pharmacokinetics and clinical studies of polyethylene glycol (PEG) IFN alpha-2b are reviewed as well. Lastly, two novel types of IFN-a, one gene shuffled and one hybridized with human albumin, are summarized.
