Lymphir is a fusion protein combining interleukin-2 (IL-2) with diphtheria toxin. It binds to IL-2 receptors (specifically CD25) on the surface of cancer cells, is internalized, and the diphtheria toxin fragment inhibits protein synthesis, leading to cell death.
Common side effects include capillary leak syndrome, flu-like symptoms, and visual changes. Patients should be monitored closely during treatment. Pre-existing cardiac conditions may require additional evaluation before starting therapy. Infusion-related reactions can occur.
