Description

培干扰素和原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂在协同治疗肾癌中的应用 技术领域
本发明涉及抗肿瘤药物技术领域，更具体地涉及培干扰素和原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂在协同治疗肾癌中的应用及其相关药物。
背景技术
肿瘤是一种多因素参与、多步骤发展的全身性、系统性疾病。肿瘤具有高度复杂性、可变性和多样性的生物学特征。癌症相关基因的异常可以引起肿瘤基因组稳定性丧失，进而导致肿瘤细胞出现异常的生物学行为，如逃避凋亡、无限复制的潜能、血管生成、侵袭及转移和免疫逃逸等。
目前，外科手术、放疗、化疗是治疗恶性肿瘤的主要方法。外科手术和放射治疗是局部治疗的方法，药物治疗属于全身效应的方法，更多地考虑到了恶性肿瘤能够扩散和转移的特质。
传统的肿瘤治疗方式包括外科手术、放疗、化疗，显示出较好疗效但均存在诸多弊端。近年来兴起的肿瘤免疫疗法较传统肿瘤治疗手段明显提高患者的生存质量。
然而，临床治疗效果不佳以及耐药性的频繁出现，促使人们需要开发更有效的治疗方案。此外，一些抗肿瘤药物的毒副作用很大，导致病人不得不放弃治疗。

具体实施方式
本发明人经过广泛而深入的研究，首次意外地发现了培(PEG)干扰素与原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂在治疗肿瘤方面(尤其是肾癌)有良好的协同作用。联合运用培(PEG)干扰素与原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂能够有效抑制肿瘤的生长，其效果远优于二者的加合作用，并且可以显著降低使用干扰素的副作用(尤其是高剂量长时间使用干扰素类药物所造成的副作用)。在此基础上，完成了本发明。
术语
如本文所用，术语“第一活性成分”指培(PEG)干扰素。应理解，该术语包括与培(PEG)干扰素具有相同功能的衍生物。
如本文所用，术语“第二活性成分”指原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂，尤其是小分子的靶向抑制剂和抗体类靶向抑制剂。优选地，所述的原癌基因产物为蛋白，例如EGFR蛋白等。
如本文所用，术语“本发明的活性成分组合”、“本发明的物质组合”、“本发明的药物成分组合”可互换使用，指上述第一活性成分和第二活性成分的组合。
如本文所用，术语“本发明的药物组合物”指包括或含有第一活性成分(或含 所述第一活性成分的第一制剂)和第二活性成分(或含所述第二活性成分的第二制剂)的组合物，其中，所述的第一制剂和第二制剂可以是相同或不同的制剂。此外，第一制剂和第二制剂可以是同一制剂，或各自独立的制剂。
普通干扰素和培(PEG)干扰素
普通干扰素(Interferon，IFN)疗法作为肿瘤免疫疗法中的重要一员，已有多年肿瘤治疗的临床经验，大量研究表明，普通干扰素对多种肿瘤的生长具有很好的抑制作用。
普通干扰素α在1986年即获批作为首个生物制剂用于恶性肿瘤的治疗，目前有较广泛的适应症范围，包括毛细胞白血病、慢性白血病、非霍淋巴瘤、骨髓瘤、膀胱癌、卵巢癌、晚期转移性肾癌及胰腺恶性内分泌肿瘤、黑色素瘤、喉乳头状瘤、基底细胞癌和Kaposi肉瘤等。
普通干扰素α1b(rhIFNα1b)是上世纪80年代从中国健康人脐血白细胞中克隆到基因并开发而成的我国第一个基因工程蛋白药物。
rhIFNα1b由166个氨基酸组成，相对分子量为19.382kDa，具有广谱抗病毒、抗肿瘤和免疫调节功能。在上世纪90年代进行的临床研究结果和几十年来的临床研究及临床实际使用效果证明了其对于某些肿瘤有一定治疗效果。然而，单用干扰素进行治疗需要使用高剂量且副作用较大，患者依从性较差。

聚乙二醇(Polyethylene Glycol,PEG)是一类线性或分支结构，平均分子量200Da以上的乙二醇高聚物的总称，它具有分子量大、安全无毒、两亲性、免疫惰性和结构稳定等特性。蛋白质的聚乙二醇化学修饰可以在不改变蛋白质氨基酸组成的前提下延长其体内半衰期、提高稳定性、降低免疫原性和抗原性等，是改善蛋白质类药物药效学性质的简便、有效的手段。
一种优选的培(PEG)干扰素α1b是采用约1-10万道尔顿(如约2万)的PEG修饰的重组人干扰素α1b。特别优选的是用分子量约2万道尔顿PEG修饰的重组人干扰素α1b，它是一种新型的长效化干扰素α1b药物(见中国专利ZL200410067652.3)。在体外实验中观察到培(PEG)干扰素α1b能够对肿瘤细胞增殖产生抑制作用，在体内实验中观察到培(PEG)干扰素α1b能够对小鼠皮下移植瘤有明显疗效。
体外实验结果表明，培(PEG)干扰素α1b可以通过激活JAK/STAT信号通路，抑制肿瘤细胞增殖，发挥其抗肿瘤作用。可以通过抑制肿瘤血管生成因子的表达，来抑制血管内皮细胞的生长并促进其凋亡。
小鼠荷瘤试验结果表明，培(PEG)干扰素α1b皮下注射可呈剂量依赖性地抑制人肾癌Caki-1裸小鼠皮下移植瘤的生长。
此外，当培(PEG)干扰素α1b与单抗药物安维汀合用，可显著提高对Caki-1 的抑瘤率，说明培(PEG)干扰素α1b对安维汀治疗人肾癌Caki-1裸小鼠皮下移植瘤有协同增效作用。此外，当第一活性成分培(PEG)干扰素和第二活性成分原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂联用时，不仅可以有效抑制肿瘤，还可显著地降低毒副作用，尤其是可降低选自下组的一种或多种不良反应：流感样综合征、胃肠道反应(例如恶心、呕吐、食欲不振)、疲劳、皮疹(包括非特异伴瘙痒的皮疹)、红斑等、体重下降。
本发明的研究还表明，培(PEG)干扰素α1b施用于肿瘤细胞时，能够抑制肿瘤细胞生长和/或迁移。
原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂
如本文所用，术语“原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂”、“原癌蛋白靶向抑制剂”可互换使用，指特异性靶向原癌基因的编码产物(尤其是蛋白)的抑制剂。如本文所用，术语“原癌蛋白”指原癌基因所编码的蛋白，尤其膜蛋白。在本发明的一些实施方案中，原癌蛋白抑制剂可通过减少原癌蛋白的量、抑制或阻断原癌蛋白活化或抑制信号传导途径中的其他分子而起作用。
原癌基因产物靶向抑制剂的非限制性实例包括(但并不限于)：靶向EGFR的抑制剂、靶向Her2的抑制剂、或其组合。
如本文所用，术语“原癌蛋白活性”是指原癌蛋白表现出的促进癌细胞形成、生长、增殖、迁移和/或侵袭的能力。
如本文所用，术语“原癌蛋白表达”是指通过本领域已知的任何方法测量的原癌蛋白基因产物的形成，所述方法包括(但并不限于)：核酸杂交方法、Northern印迹、原位杂交、聚合酶链反应扩增、报告基因表达等。原癌蛋白基因产物的形成也可以通过任何基于抗体的技术测量，包括免疫组织化学、免疫荧光、Western印迹和ELISA法。
在本发明中，靶向抑制剂包括(但并不限于)：抗体、小分子药物、核酸药物、CAR-T细胞等。
EGFR及其抑制剂
表皮生长因子受体(epidermalgrowth factor receptor,EGFR)EGFR是一种跨膜蛋白质(NM_201282)，属于ErbB受体家族成员，其配体(EGF、TGF-α等)与EGFR胞外段结合使之二聚化，由此导致胞内段酪氨酸激酶活化以及一系列信号转导的级联反应，促进细胞增殖，血管生成，转移并抑制细胞凋亡，从而导致肿瘤的发生。大量研究发现EGFR基因在多种肿瘤组织中过表达或异常活化，从而使肿瘤细胞增殖、侵袭和转移能力增强。EGFR已成为经临床验证的多种类型肿瘤的治疗靶 点。
在癌症靶向治疗的发展过程中，一个成功的策略是利用单克隆抗体(monoclonal antibodies，mAb)定位肿瘤细胞表面的抗原决定簇，从而靶向杀死癌细胞。因此，可以利用抗体或其他靶向抑制剂来靶向肿瘤细胞表面的EGFR来杀死或抑制癌细胞。
一种代表性的EGFR抑制剂是抗EGFR抗体，例如贝伐珠单抗(安维汀avastin)或其生物类似药或其ADC。贝伐珠单抗是一种抗EGFR单克隆抗体。
RNAi、siRNA、shRNA
在本发明中，还可以用靶向原癌基因的核酸类药物来靶向抑制所述的原癌基因(如EGFR)。
代表性的核酸类药物包括(但并不限于)：RNAi、siRNA、shRNA，及其前体、或表达载体。
如本文所用，术语“RNAi”(RNA interference,RNA干扰)是指在进化过程中高度保守的、由双链RNA(dsRNA)诱发的、高效特异性降解同源mRNA的现象。由于使用RNAi技术可以特异性剔除或关闭特定基因的表达，所以该技术已被广泛用于探索基因功能和传染性疾病及恶性肿瘤的基因治疗领域。
如本文所用，术语“siRNA”(Small interfering RNA,siRNA)是指一种小RNA分子(约21-25个核苷酸)，可由Dicer(RNA酶Ⅲ家族中对双链RNA具有特异性的酶)从其前体(比如dsRNA、shRNA等)加工而成，也可由化学方法合成或由其它蛋白加工产生。siRNA是siRISC的主要成员，激发与之互补的目标mRNA被迅速切割降解，导致目标基因的沉默，因此成为RNAi中的关键功能分子。
本文所用的术语“表达盒”是指包含本发明RNAi前体的编码序列以及与所述编码序列操作性相连的启动子和终止信号的表达盒，所述表达盒在转录后产生本发明的RNAi前体。本文所用的术语“RNAi前体”是指可以在哺乳动物细胞中加工产生siRNA的RNA分子，具体地说，是由Dicer、Ago2或其它类似蛋白选择性加工从而产生成熟的siRNA，进而实施RNAi。
本文所用的术语“shRNA”是short hairpin RNA的缩写，即，“短发夹RNA”。shRNA包括两个短反向互补序列，中间由一顶端环(loop)序列分隔的，组成发夹结构，由细胞内源的RNA聚合酶Ⅲ(RNA polymeraseⅢ)启动子控制转录，shRNA序列的末端连接5-6个T作为RNA聚合酶Ⅲ的转录终止子。在活体中产生“小干扰RNA”(siRNA)的一种办法是，将siRNA序列作为“短发夹”的一部分克隆进质粒载体中。当送入动物体内时，该发夹序列被表达出来，形成一个带有顶端环结构的“双链RNA”(shRNA)，被细胞内的Dicer和Ago2等蛋白所识别和加工，产生有 功能的siRNA。
本文所用的术语“miRNA”(microRNA)是一类由内源基因编码的长度约20-24个核苷酸的非编码单链RNA分子，在动植物中参与对大量基因的表达调控。到目前为止，在动植物以及病毒中已经发现四千多种miRNA分子。大多数miRNA基因以单拷贝、多拷贝或基因簇(cluster)的形式存在于基因组中。每种miRNA可以调控多个靶基因，而几种miRNA也可以共同参与调节同一基因，组成复杂的调节网络。据推测，miRNA调节着人类一半以上基因的表达。miRNA存在多种形式，最原始的是pri-miRNA；pri-miRNA经过Drosha加工后，成为pre-miRNA，即miRNA前体，长度大约为50-90个核苷酸；pre-miRNA再经过Dicer酶酶切后，成为长约20-24个核苷酸的成熟miRNA。miRNA主要通过抑制翻译和加速mRNA的脱腺苷酸化抑制靶基因表达，其机制有别于siRNA介导的mRNA降解。
表达载体
如本文所用，术语“表达载体”指的是能将感兴趣的多聚核苷酸序列转移到目标细胞的载体。此类载体能自我复制或结合进宿主细胞染色体(宿主细胞有，例如原核细胞、酵母、动物细胞、植物细胞、昆虫细胞、动物个体、和植物个体等)，并可在适合本发明多聚核苷酸转录的位点含有启动子。表达载体可包含结构基因和调控其表达的启动子，此外，还有能在宿主细胞中起作用的各种调控元件。本领域熟知，生物活体(如动物)的表达载体类型及所用调控元件的种类可根据所用宿主细胞的类型而改变。
可用于本发明的病毒载体没有特别限制，可以是任何能够利用病毒具有传送其基因组的特点，将遗传物质带入其他细胞，进行感染的病毒载体。可发生于完整活体或是细胞培养中。包括慢病毒载体、腺病毒载体、疱疹病毒载体、痘病毒载体。在本发明中，一种优选的表达载体是慢病毒载体。

如本文所用，“药学上可接受的载体”指用于治疗剂给药的载体，包括各种赋形剂和稀释剂。
术语指这样一些药剂载体：它们本身并不是必要的活性成分，且施用后没有过分的毒性。合适的载体是本领域普通技术人员所熟知的。在组合物中药学上可接受的载体可含有液体，如水、盐水、缓冲液。另外，这些载体中还可能存在辅助性的物质，如填充剂、润滑剂、助流剂、润湿剂或乳化剂、pH缓冲物质等。所述的载体中还可以含有细胞转染试剂。
如本文所用，术语“有效量”或“有效剂量”是指可对人和/或动物和/或细胞产生功能或活性的且可被人和/或动物所接受的量。
如本文所用，“药学上可接受的”的成分是适用于人和/或哺乳动物而无过度不良副反应(如毒性、刺激和变态反应)的，即具有合理的效益/风险比的物质。术语“药学上可接受的载体”指用于治疗剂给药的载体，包括各种赋形剂和稀释剂。这类载体包括(但并不限于)：盐水、缓冲液、葡萄糖、水、甘油、聚山梨酯、乙醇及其组合。通常药物制剂应与给药方式相匹配，本发明的药物组合物可以被制成针剂形式，例如用生理盐水或含有葡萄糖和其他辅剂的水溶液通过常规方法进行制备。所述的药物组合物宜在无菌条件下制造。活性成分的给药量是治疗有效量。本发明的药物制剂还可制成缓释制剂。

使用药物组合物时，是将安全有效量的活性成分组合(包括第一活性成分(或其制剂)和/或第二活性成分(或其制剂))施用于哺乳动物。
应理解，本发明所述活性成分组合中第一活性成分(或其制剂)和/或第二活性成分(或其制剂)的有效量，可随给药的模式和肿瘤的严重程度等而变化。优选的有效量的选择可以由本领域普通技术人员根据各种因素来确定(例如通过临床试验)。所述的因素包括但不限于：药代动力学参数例如生物利用率、代谢、半衰期等；肿瘤的严重程度、患者的体重、患者的免疫状况、给药的途径等。
典型地，对于第一活性成分，其安全有效量通常至少约10纳克/千克体重，而且在大多数情况下不超过约50毫克/千克体重，较佳地该剂量是约50纳克/千克体重-约10毫克/千克体重。当然，具体剂量还应考虑给药途径、病人健康状况等因素，这些都是熟练医师技能范围之内的。
对于第二活性成分，其安全有效量通常至少约10纳克/千克体重，而且在大多数情况下不超过约50毫克/千克体重，较佳地该剂量是约50纳克/千克体重-约10毫克/千克体重。当然，具体剂量还应考虑给药途径、病人健康状况等因素，这 些都是熟练医师技能范围之内的。

通用方法
实验动物的使用及福利遵照“国际实验动物评估和认可委员会(AAALAC)”的规定执行。每天监测动物的健康状况及死亡情况，例行检查包括观察受试物和药物对动物日常行为表现的影响如行为活动，体重变化，外观体征等。
小鼠抑瘤实验指标为考察药物对肿瘤生长的影响，具体指标为T/C％或抑瘤率TGI(％)。
每周二次用游标卡尺测量肿瘤直径,肿瘤体积(V)计算公式为：V＝1/2×a×b 2，其中a、b分别表示长、宽。
T/C(％)＝(T-T 0)/(C-C 0)×100，
其中,T、C为实验结束时的肿瘤体积；T 0、C 0为实验开始时的肿瘤体积。
抑瘤率(TGI)(％)＝100-T/C(％)。
当肿瘤出现消退时，抑瘤率(TGI)(％)＝100-(T-T 0)/T 0×100
如果肿瘤比起始体积缩小，即T<T 0或C<C 0时，即定义为肿瘤部分消退(PR)；如果肿瘤完全消失，即定义为肿瘤完全消退(CR)。
实验结束(如D21)、达到实验终点、或肿瘤体积达到1500mm 3，CO 2麻醉处死动物，随后解剖取瘤并拍照。

此外，联用时荷瘤小鼠对药物表现出很好耐受，没有体重减轻等症状发生。尤其是如图5所示，培(PEG)干扰素α1b(1mg/kg,SC,每周2次，共6次)与安维汀(10mg/kg,IV,每周2次，共6次)合用组的小鼠体重高于单用培干扰素组以及单用安维汀组的小鼠体重，这提示，当培干扰素与安维汀联用时，在有效提高治疗效果的同时，还显著降低相应的副作用。

讨论
干扰素是一类具有广谱抗病毒增殖、抗肿瘤、免疫调节等多种活性的高活性蛋白质分子。在肿瘤治疗领域，普通干扰素已被美国FDA和欧洲EMA批准用于治疗毛细胞白血病、慢性粒细胞白血病、肾癌、卡波斯肉瘤、黑色素瘤、滤泡性淋巴瘤、多发性骨髓瘤、宫颈上皮内瘤(Elena Garcia-Martinez,etc.Trial Watch:Immunostimulation with recombinant cytokines for cancer therapy，ONCOIMMUNOLOGY,2018,VOL.7,NO.6:e1433982,16pages；陈翔等，肾癌免疫治疗的临床研究进展，中华泌尿外科杂志，2017卷38第9期：717-720)。另外，在肺癌、消化道癌、前列腺癌、头颈部鳞癌等肿瘤治疗中也有一定疗效。
虽然普通干扰素是一种安全有效的制剂，但仍存在一些问题，尤其是严重的副作用。目前临床上使用的普通干扰素由于分子量较小(20kDa以下)，易被肾小球滤过，导致在人体内半衰期仅为1.5-2小时，为达到理想的疗效，一般临床上普通干扰素治疗采用大剂量、多次数注射用药，患者依从性较差，也易引起副作用的发生。
以黑色素瘤为例，需要先皮下注射普通干扰素2000万IU/m 2(约等于400μg/人)给药5天/周，1个月后再给药1000万IU/m 2(约等于200μg/人)，每周3次维持治疗48周，可延长患者存活期，但大剂量给药普通干扰素的不良反应十分明显，至少50％的患者需要推迟或减少给药剂量，因此只能用于高危患者。
普通干扰素α在人体中的不良反应是全身性的(曹学琳，干扰素不良反应机 制,生物医学工程与临床，2010，第14卷第4期：340-342)：治疗初期，多数患者会出现流感样综合征，临床症状有发热、寒战、头痛、肌痛、胃肠痛等。恶心、呕吐、食欲不振是普通干扰素α治疗早期常见的胃肠道反应。在普通干扰素α治疗中超过70％的患者会产生疲劳。神经精神系统不良反应主要为精神紊乱、抑郁、精神恍惚、焦虑、烦躁等。接受普通干扰素α治疗过程中约20％的患者可能出现白细胞总数、中性粒细胞及血小板计数轻到中度减少。普通干扰素α所致的皮肤黏膜病变以皮疹最为常见，常表现为非特异伴瘙痒的皮疹；其他表现有注射部位红斑、皮肤溃烂、口腔黏膜溃烂和口唇炎等。普通干扰素α治疗可通过自身免疫和非自身免疫机制导致甲状腺功能异常，甲状腺功能异常以甲状腺功能低下最为常见。普通干扰素α还可诱导对胰岛β细胞的自身免疫性损伤而诱发糖尿病。其它较为少见的不良反应有间质性肺炎、视网膜病变、听力受损和耳鸣、脱发、腹泻、体重减轻。
为了提高普通干扰素α治疗肿瘤的疗效，降低副作用，对普通干扰素α与其它肿瘤药物联用的方案进行了有益的探索(郭军，转移性肾癌的内科治疗进展，第二届中国肿瘤内科大会，2008：33-36)。其中贝伐珠单抗联合普通干扰素α治疗肾癌晚期的方案最为成功，2项独立的临床试验均证实贝伐珠单抗联合普通干扰素α治疗肾癌较单用普通干扰素可显著延长患者PFS(10.2vs 5.4个月、8.5vs5.2个月)。基于以上结果，2009年美国FDA批准了贝伐珠单抗联合普通干扰素治疗肾癌晚期。但3级及以上不良反应发生率最高可达80％(Brian I.Rini,etc.Phase III Trial of Bevacizumab Plus Interferon Alfa Versus Interferon Alfa Monotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma:Final Results of CALGB 90206，JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY，2010,VOL28,No.13:2137-2143)，因此患者依从性不高，限制了该方案的应用。
人干扰素α1b是由人白细胞产生的一种由166个氨基酸组成的蛋白质，其相对分子量为19.382kDa。研究表明，中国人的白细胞在受到病毒攻击后，产生的多种干扰素中以α1b型干扰素为主。
八十年代初，医科院病毒学研究所侯云德等首次克隆到α1b干扰素基因，由病毒所和上海生物制品研究所联合开发成功我国第一个基因工程蛋白药物----重组人干扰素α1b，是我国少数具有自主知识产权的一类新药。
与普通干扰素α 2产品相比，普通干扰素α 1体外生物学活性相对较低，但在体内作用较强而且范围广、副作用小。如在体外普通干扰素α2a和2b的比活性均为1×10 8IU/mg，而普通干扰素α 1b的比活性仅为1×10 7IU/mg，是前两者的10％。在临床应用中，使用同样重量的普通干扰素α 1b与普通干扰素α2a、2b疗效相当，而副作用明显小于后两者(童葵塘，干扰素α治疗黑色素瘤，第17次全国干扰素 及细胞因子学术会议，2011:2-6)。在普通干扰素α 1b治疗毛细胞白血病的临床试验中，有效率为63.64％，缓解率达36.36％，而不良反应仅有短暂的低热，不需服药可自行消退，其他不良反应也不明显，患者均能耐受，无一例患者停药。
在美国进行的Ⅰ、Ⅱ期临床试验结果表明，采用大剂量(500μg/天)普通干扰素α 1b注射治疗转移性肾癌患者和多发性骨髓瘤患者具有一定的疗效，而不良反应与其它普通干扰素相比不良反应更为轻微(P.Masci,etc.Gene Modulatory Effects,Pharmacokinetics,and Clinical Tolerance of Interferon α-1b：A Second Member of the Interferon α Family.Clinical Pharmacology&Therapeutics.2007.Vol.81,No.3:354-361)。
普通干扰素α1b与其它普通干扰素一样，也存在着分子量较小，易被肾小球滤过，在人体内半衰期短的缺陷。为延长半衰期，提高其疗效，采用第二代聚乙二醇修饰剂对普通干扰素α1b进行修饰，获得了单个PEG修饰的干扰素α1b，命名为培(PEG)干扰素α1b。研究表明其分子量增大，半衰期较未修饰的普通干扰素明显延长：在大鼠体内培(PEG)干扰素α1b半衰期为13.98小时，而普通干扰素α1b为1.84小时；在食蟹猴体内培(PEG)干扰素α1b半衰期为22.03±3.32小时，而普通干扰素α1b为3.27±1.48h。根据已上市PEG修饰类重组治疗性蛋白药物的相关研究报道，此类药物的分子量增大与其临床应用上的疗效提高成正相关。
在本发明中，将培(PEG)干扰素α1b单药或与其它药物联用进行临床前体外和体内药效学研究。
研究结果表明，培(PEG)干扰素α1b与安维汀等某些抗肿瘤药物联合使用，不仅在疗效方面有协同作用，而且还协同地显著降低各种不同的副作用。
在体内裸鼠肾癌caki-1肿瘤模型中，单用低中高三种剂量的培(PEG)干扰素α1b对肾癌均有疗效，且疗效呈明显剂量依赖关系。此外，观察到毒副作用显著下降。
而在与单抗联用方案中，低中高三种剂量的培(PEG)干扰素α1b与安维汀联用对于肾癌Caki-1均有协同增效的抑制作用，其中中剂量培(PEG)干扰素α1b(1mg/kg)与安维汀联用组有显著增效作用(联用组69％抑制率vs单用培(PEG)干扰素α1b组46％抑制率vs单用安维汀组42％抑制率)。
然而，在肝癌Huh-7裸鼠模型上，培(PEG)干扰素α1b单用组未表现出明显的抑瘤效果，由此可见培(PEG)干扰素α1b尽管具有抗肿瘤活性，但对于不同的肿瘤其疗效仍有一定或较大的的差异。然而，培干扰素与安维汀联用时，表现出一定的协同增效作用。
尽管培(PEG)干扰素α2a和α2b在慢性乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎上疗效较普通干 扰素具有明显的优势，取得了巨大的成功。但在肿瘤治疗领域则完全不同，
在一项三期临床研究中(T.K.Eigentler,etc.Adjuvant treatment with pegylated interferonα-2a versus low-dose interferonα-2a in patients with high risk melanoma:a randomized phase III DeCOG trial，Annals of Oncology，2016，27:1625–1632)，比较了培(PEG)干扰素α2a与普通干扰素α2a高风险黑素瘤患者的疗效与安全性，结果发现培(PEG)干扰素α2a的疗效并不优于普通干扰素α2a，而副作用却更高。
在另一项三期临床研究中(THOMAS M.H,etc.U.S.Food and Drug Administration Approval:Peginterferon-alfa-2b for the Adjuvant Treatment of Patients with Melanoma，The oncologist，2012；17:1323–1328)，培(PEG)干扰素α2b辅助治疗黑色素瘤患者的平均无复发生存期为34.8个月，较观察组的25.5个月明显延长，但对总体生存期无显著性改善。尽管治疗组的严重不良反应发生率几乎达到了观察组的2倍(33％vs15％)，2011年美国FDA还是批准了培(PEG)干扰素α2b用于辅助治疗区域淋巴结受累的恶性黑色素瘤患者，每周皮下给药6μg/kg，连续8针后维持每周3μg/kg给药(NCCN肿瘤学临床实践指南-恶性黑色瘤，2018年第2版：MS-20)。目前培(PEG)干扰素类药物用于肿瘤适应症的批准方案仅有这一个，表明在肿瘤治疗领域不同培(PEG)干扰素亚型和不同肿瘤类型对治疗效果的影响有明显的差异，不能简单的进行同理类推。
出乎意料的是，与培(PEG)干扰素α2a不同，本发明的研究表明，培(PEG)干扰素α1b与安维汀的联用在协同增效地抑制肿瘤的同时，还显著降低各自相应的副作用(如体重下降、发热、不良胃肠道反应、皮疹等)的发生率或程度。
