Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
Interleukin-2 (153 aa, ~18 kDa) is encoded by the human IL2 gene. This protein is involved in T-cell proliferation, leukocyte stimulation and immune responses.

Interleukin-2 has been investigated in 28 clinical trials, of which 22 are open and 6 are closed. Of the trials investigating interleukin-2, 1 is early phase 1 (0 open), 13 are phase 1 (10 open), 8 are phase 1/phase 2 (7 open), and 6 are phase 2 (5 open).

EBV Positive, MS4A1 Expression, and Normal karyotype are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for interleukin-2 clinical trials.

Melanoma, B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in interleukin-2 clinical trials [2].
