Clinical Trial Summary

Enrolled subjects will receive histamine dihydrochloride (HDC; Ceplene®) and/or IL-2 (Proleukin®) subcutaneously (s.c.) twice daily (BID) in 3-week periods followed by 3- or 6 week rest periods.

All subjects will be assigned to one of three consecutive cohorts, each comprising five patients.

Cohort 1 will receive HDC without IL-2 for the first treatment cycle, to enable the assessment of short-term impact of HDC alone on clonal and immunological markers. For all remaining cycles the combination of HDC and IL-2 will be given.

Cohort 2 will receive the combination of Ceplene and Proleukin in all cycles. After all patients in cohorts 1 and 2 have completed 4 treatment cycles, immunological and clinical response and toxicity will be evaluated. On the basis of the results for the first 4 cycles of cohorts 1 and 2, a third cohort of 5 patients will be enrolled receiving either the combination of HDC/IL-2 or HDC alone.

In case of a beneficial response* after 4 cycles, treatment may be continued to a total of 10 cycles. Treatment cycles 5-10 will comprise 3 weeks of treatment and 6-week rest periods.

IL-2 will be administered s.c., 1 µg/kg (=16400 IU/kg) body weight twice daily (BID) during treatment periods. Ceplene® will be administered s.c. 0.5 mg BID after IL-2. The patient or a family member/significant other will be instructed to administer injections of both study drugs to allow safe treatment at home.
