Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the long-term toxicity and obtain preliminary information about long-term efficacy of the combination of antiretroviral therapies and interleukin-2 (IL-2), a cytokine with immunomodulatory properties. Currently 73 patients have been approved to receive IL-2 at a starting dose of 18 MIU/d for 5 days. Multiple courses of IL-2 will be administered, at approximately 2 month intervals. Clinical, laboratory, immunologic, and viral parameters will be closely monitored during this time for evidence of toxicity and preliminary evidence of efficacy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Home - The patient must live at a home address with easy access to a telephone and must have demonstrated reliability in responding to telephone calls from clinic 8 staff members. The patient must also be able to provide the study team with reliable contact information for a close family member or friend who will agree to serve in the capacity of a "care-giver" during each cycle: i.e. someone who will be able to render non-medical assistance to the patient and be able to check on their condition daily in the event that emergency medical assistance needs to be summoned. It will become the patient's responsibility to ensure that the local "care-giver" communicates their willingness to serve in this capacity by telephoning the clinic 8-study team prior to each cycle.

Home -The patient must have "reasonable" (i.e. rapid and close) access at home to emergency medical services and a nearby medical facility in the event of a medical crisis. The suitability of the at-home situation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the clinic 8-study team.

Home - The patient must have demonstrated reliability and consistency in sterile technique, the reconstitution of IL-2 vials, and the administration of scIL-2 injections.

Home - The patient must be receiving outpatient scIL-2 cycles at least once every 6 months as part of their normal protocol participation, except at the discretion of the study team.

Home - The patient must have access to a reliable home weight scale and be able to weigh themselves accurately on a daily basis for the purposes of safety monitoring.
