- W2912269012 abstract "Daily low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) at a fixed dose of 1 × 106 IU/m2/day leads to preferential expansion of CD4+CD25+CD127-Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and clinical responses in 50-60% of adult patients with steroid-refractory chronic GVHD. During fixed-dose IL-2 therapy, plasma IL-2 levels rise rapidly, but decrease over time despite continued daily administration. Lower IL-2 levels correlate with decreased Treg proliferation, possibly due to IL-2 sequestration via binding to high-affinity IL-2 receptors on Treg. We reasoned that IL-2 dose escalation at the time of anticipated fall in plasma IL-2 levels would avoid tachyphylaxis and enhance Treg expansion.We conducted a phase 1 trial of individual patient IL-2 dose escalation over 8 weeks in adult and pediatric patients with steroid-refractory cGVHD. Daily SC IL-2 was initiated at 0.67 × 106 and 0.33 × 106 IU/m2/day in the adult and pediatric cohorts, respectively. Each participant had dose escalations at weeks 2 and 4 to a maximum dose of 2 × 106 IU/m2/day in adults and 1 × 106 IU/m2/day in children. We studied 21 participants (10 adult, 11 children) with median ages of 57 (range, 33-71) and 12 years (range, 3-22) in the adult and pediatric cohorts, respectively. The cohorts did not differ in terms of time since cGVHD onset, number of organ sites involved or failed therapies prior to enrollment.Individually dose-escalated IL-2 was well tolerated in children with 1 patient requiring dose reduction for electrolyte imbalances. In the adult cohort, 1 patient withdrew for cGVHD progression, 4 required dose reduction for injection site reactions and 2 were unevaluable. At week 8, objective cGVHD responses (PR) were seen in 8 of 11 pediatric patients (73%), but in only 1 of 8 evaluable adult patients (13%). Response sites included skin (n=4), joint/fascia/muscle (n=1), lung (n=5), and GI tract (n=2). 11 pediatric and 4 adult participants with clinical benefit (PR or SD with minor response) continued extended duration IL-2 therapy. 9 pediatric patients on IL-2 therapy were able to wean steroid therapy with a median dose reduction of 67% at 6 months (Fig. 1).Children had a superior immunologic response despite lower IL-2 doses. The median Treg:Tcon ratio at week 8 was significantly higher in the pediatric cohort (0.42 vs 0.21, p = 0.02). Both cohorts had increased NK cell numbers, with no significant changes in CD4Tcon, CD8 T cell or B cells (Fig. 2). Pediatric patients had greater thymic output of naïve Treg as well as a larger fraction of PD-1-expressing effector memory Treg at baseline and during IL-2 therapy (Fig. 3), which has been correlated with improved Treg expansion and survival. We show for the first time that low-dose IL-2 is safe in children with advanced steroid-refractory cGVHD and results in a high clinical response rate. In adults, dose escalation above fixed-dose MTD did not improve Treg expansion or clinical response relative to fixed daily dosing.
