Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention features compositions and methods featuring ALT-803, a complex of an interleukin-15 (IL-15) superagonist mutant and a dimeric IL-15 receptor α/Fc fusion protein useful for enhancing an immune response against a neoplasia (e.g., multiple myeloma, melanoma, lymphoma) or a viral infection (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of stimulating CD8+ memory T cells and effector NK cells in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an Interleukin-15N72D: Interleukin-15 receptor alpha Sushi/Fc (IL-15N72D: IL-15RαSu/Fc; ALT-803) complex, wherein the complex comprises a dimeric IL-15RαSu/Fc and two IL-15N72D molecules. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is between 1 μg/kg and 20 μg/kg. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the effective amount is 15 μg/kg. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is between 20 μg/kg and 100 μg/kg. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the effective amount is 30 μg/kg. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprising the IL-15N72D: IL-15RαSu/Fc complex is administered once per week. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered systemically, intravenously, subcutaneously or by instillation into the bladder. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has increased levels of serum Interferon gamma (IFNγ). 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a neoplasia. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the neoplasia is beta cell lymphoma, urothelial/bladder carcinoma, melanoma, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, or pancreatic cancer. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a viral infection.
