A phase lb trial of a novel regional approach to adoptive immunotherapy is reported. Patients with liver metastases received continuous high-dose infusion of interleukin-2 (IL-2) into the splenic artery or intravenous infusion with subsequent transfer of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells into the portal vein or the hepatic artery. Trafficking studies revealed homogeneous distribution of the LAK cells within the liver. The usual side-effects of IL-2 and LAK cells occurred without limiting liver toxicity. One partial (7+ months) and two complete responses (36 and 26+ months) were observed in 9 patients with metastases from cutaneous melanoma. None of 6 patients with metastases from ocular melanoma responded.
