Darleukin (L19IL2): A Comprehensive Monograph on a Tumor-Targeted Immunocytokine
Executive Summary
Darleukin, identified by the research code L19IL2 and the DrugBank ID DB17157, is an investigational, fully-human immunostimulatory biopharmaceutical. It is classified as an immunocytokine, a type of recombinant fusion protein engineered to overcome the limitations of systemic cytokine therapy. Darleukin consists of two key components: the human cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) and the human L19 antibody. The L19 antibody moiety is designed to specifically target the extra-domain B (EDB) of fibronectin, a protein isoform that is highly expressed within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and associated with angiogenesis, but is largely absent in healthy, mature tissues. This targeted delivery mechanism is central to Darleukin's therapeutic strategy, enabling the concentration of IL-2's potent immunostimulatory effects directly at the site of disease, thereby enhancing its therapeutic index while mitigating the severe systemic toxicities associated with high-dose, untargeted IL-2 administration.
The mechanism of action involves the selective localization of Darleukin within the tumor stroma, followed by the activation of a robust anti-tumor immune response. The IL-2 payload stimulates the proliferation and activation of tumor-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells, which are critical effectors in the eradication of cancer cells. Clinical investigations, particularly with intralesional administration, have demonstrated that this localized immune activation can translate into a systemic anti-tumor effect, leading to the regression of non-injected metastatic lesions.
