Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An immunotherapeutic agent consisting of a plasmid DNA encoding human Interleukin-2 (IL-2) complexed with a cationic lipid, 1,2-dimyristyloxypropyl-3-dimethyl-hydroxyethyl ammonium bromide/dioleyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DMRIE/DOPE), in a 5:1 ratio. Due to the lipophilic nature of this cation liposome complex, this gene transfer system may improve the efficiency of introducing the IL-2 gene into the cells, thereby increasing the production of IL-2 and inducing an immune response.

Il-2 plasmid dna/lipid complex has been investigated in 2 clinical trials, of which 1 is open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating il-2 plasmid dna/lipid complex, 2 are phase 1 (1 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and HER2 Deficient Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for il-2 plasmid dna/lipid complex clinical trials.

Anal squamous cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma are the most common diseases being investigated in il-2 plasmid dna/lipid complex clinical trials [2].
