Popis: | Standard-dose intravenous recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) is indicated for the treatment of some subtypes of cancer; however, severe adverse events, including venous thromboembolism (VTE), may complicate its administration. Low-dose subcutaneous rIL-2 is being studied for the management of immune-mediated diseases, since it can modulate the immunological response by specifically targeting T regulatory (Treg) cells; importantly, it is supposed to cause fewer or no complications. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of phase II-III randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we investigated the safety of low-dose ( |
