N2 - 9067 Background: Many randomised trials have evaluated the role of adjuvant IFN in high-risk melanoma, some suggesting benefit and others not. To assess the evidence of IFN vs. no IFN, an IPD meta-analysis of these trials was performed. Methods: Standard IPD meta-analysis methods were used to assess event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS), with odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) calculated. Trials were divided by dose of IFN - high (10-20MU/m2), Peg-IFN (3-6{micro}g/Kg), intermediate (5-10MU flat), low (3MU flat) and very low (1MU). Results: IPD was provided for 11 of 15 reported trials of IFN vs. no IFN (for the other 4 trials published data were used). Over 7500 pts were included in the analysis, with over 4700 and 3800 events for EFS and OS. There was benefit for IFN for both EFS (P
