Daclizumab, a humanized monoclonal IgG1 directed against the
chain of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), is a competitive inhibitor
of IL-2 on activated lymphocytes. To test the hypothesis that specific
inhibition of activated lymphocytes in patients with ongoing acute
graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) might ameliorate the process, we
treated 43 patients with advanced or steroid-refractory GVHD with
daclizumab. The first cohort of 24 patients was treated with daclizumab
1 mg/kg on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. On day 43, the complete response
(CR) rate was 29% (95% confidence interval [CI],
13%-51%). Survival on day 120 was 29% (95% CI, 13%-51%). A second
cohort of 19 patients was treated with daclizumab 1 mg/kg on days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 22. For these patients, the CR rate on day 43 was 47% (95%
CI, 24%-71%), and survival on day 120 was 53% (95%
CI, 29%-76%). There were no infusion-related reactions and no serious
side effects related to daclizumab. Following treatment, there was a
reduction in serum concentrations of soluble IL-2R and peripheral blood
CD3 + 25+ lymphocytes, but these changes
were not predictive of response. Daclizumab has substantial activity
for the treatment of acute GVHD, and the second regimen evaluated is
recommended for a controlled study. (Blood, 2000; 95:83-89)
