  • Publication number: 20210038684
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and improved methods for the treatment of cancer using IL-2 immunotherapy. The methods of the invention comprise administering to a patient, the fusion protein of SEQ ID NO: 1 at a dose of about 6 ?g/kg/day to about 70 ?g/kg/day and preferably at a dose of at least about 6 ?g/kg/day to about 15 ?g/kg/day or at a corresponding fixed per day dose based, for example, on an average about 60 to about 70 kg adult human or based, for example, on a child of about 12 kg to about 50 kg or more, wherein administration results in a dose dependent increase in circulating NK cells and CD8+ cells in a patient in the absence of a dose dependent increase in circulating immunosuppressive T regulatory (Treg) cells and preferably wherein the increase in circulating NK cells and CD8+ cells is greater relative to the increase in circulating T Treg cells.
