In order to evaluate the efficacy of interferon alpha (IFNa) in mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC), a prospective multicenter clinical trial was conduced in April 1992. It consisted of treating 20 clinically symptomatic MC patients with IFNa for 26 weeks. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was detected in 16 patients. A complete or partial clinical remission was obtained in 12 patients (60%). Eleven of these 12 responders (91.6%) experienced a clinical relapse less than 12 months after the end of therapy. Side effects were noted in 10 patients (50%). It was concluded that subcutaneously administered IFNa does not provide long-term remission. |
