摘要
DAB(486)IL-2 is a recombinant fusion toxin, created by replacement of the receptor binding domain sequences of the diphtheria toxin gene with the sequences for human interleukin-2 (IL-2). It selectively binds to and intoxicates cells expressing the high-affinity IL-2 receptor. A total of 17 patients with refractory hematologic malignancies were entered in a phase I study of DAB(486)IL-2, administered as a 6 hour continuous intravenous infusion on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28 day cycle. Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients were treated with escalating doses. The starting dose was 0. 1 mg/kg/day with increments of O.1 mg/kg/day per dose level up to 0.3 mg/kg/day. Significant adverse effects included transient asymptomatic elevation of liver transaminases, hypersensitivity, anemia, thrombocytopenia, fever, and creatinine elevation. A partial response of approximately nine months duration was observed in a patient with small cell lymphocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, previously refractory to high-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation. The observance of antitumor activity in a patient highly refractory to chemotherapy suggests that DAB(486)IL-2 may have efficacy in selected patients whose malignant cells express the IL-2 receptor.
