Ann Oncol . 2019 Jan; 30(4):589-596. PMID: 30689736
Background: With increasing anti-PD-1 therapy use in patients with melanoma and other tumor types, there is interest in developing early on-treatment biomarkers that correlate with long-term patient outcome. An understanding...

Longo D, Duffey P, Kopp W, Heyes M, Alvord W, Sharfman W, et al.
Clin Immunol . 1999 Mar; 90(2):173-81. PMID: 10080828
We determined whether a classical conditioning paradigm may be used to condition immunologic responses in normal human subjects receiving an optimal immunostimulating dose of recombinant human interferon-gamma (rhIFN-gamma). We conducted...

Gause B, Sharfman W, Janik J, Curti B, Steis R, Urba W, et al.
Cancer Invest . 1998 Jul; 16(6):374-80. PMID: 9679527
The purpose of this trial was to determine the toxicity and antineoplastic activity of cisplatin, carboplatin, tamoxifen, and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in patients with advanced melanoma. Eleven patients with metastatic melanoma...

Fenton R, Steis R, Madara K, Zea A, Ochoa A, Janik J, et al.
J Immunother Emphasis Tumor Immunol . 1996 Sep; 19(5):364-74. PMID: 8941876
We performed a prospective, randomized study to determine whether subcutaneous administration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in combination with an autologous renal cell vaccine is feasible and can potentiate antitumor immunity. Seventeen...

Curti B, Ochoa A, Urba W, Alvord W, Kopp W, Powers G, et al.
J Immunother Emphasis Tumor Immunol . 1996 Jul; 19(4):296-308. PMID: 8877723
The adoptive transfer of anti-CD3-stimulated T killer (T-AK) cells was tested with different bolus and infusional interleukin-2 (IL-2) regimens, and anti-CD3 stimulation procedures to determine immunologic and antitumor effects in...

Curti B, Urba W, Longo D, Janik J, Sharfman W, Miller L, et al.
J Immunother Emphasis Tumor Immunol . 1996 Mar; 19(2):142-8. PMID: 8732697
Previous primate and rodent studies suggested that interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) caused changes in the secretion of pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, and gonadal hormones, as well as acute-phase reactants. Plasma samples...

Janik J, Miller L, Longo D, Powers G, Urba W, Kopp W, et al.
J Natl Cancer Inst . 1996 Jan; 88(1):44-9. PMID: 8847725
Background: The rising incidence of malignant melanoma and the lack of curative therapies for metastatic disease represent a therapeutic challenge. New agents effective in treating this disease are needed. Purpose:...

Janik J, Sznol M, Urba W, Figlin R, Bukowski R, Fyfe G, et al.
Cancer . 1993 Nov; 72(9):2656-9. PMID: 8402486
Background: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) recently was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of renal cell cancer. It is effective in a small minority of patients, but no...

Smith 2nd J, Longo D, Alvord W, Janik J, Sharfman W, Gause B, et al.
N Engl J Med . 1993 Mar; 328(11):756-61. PMID: 8437596
Background: Thrombocytopenia is a frequent side effect of cancer chemotherapy and commonly limits attempts to escalate drug doses. To determine whether interleukin-1 alpha could ameliorate carboplatin-induced thrombocytopenia, we combined it...

Janik J, Kopp W, Smith 2nd J, Longo D, Alvord W, Sharfman W, et al.
J Clin Oncol . 1993 Jan; 11(1):125-35. PMID: 8418223
Purpose: This phase I study was conducted to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and the immunologic properties of levamisole in cancer patients when administered alone and in combination with interferon...
