Understanding the pharmacokinetics of locally-injected drugs could aid in the design of immunotherapies to maximize their therapeutic effect. Here, by evaluating different IL-2 fusion proteins, the authors show that molecular weight and matrix binding affect anti-tumor immune response and report a pharmacokinetic framework to predict response to intratumoral IL-2 therapy.
