Ontak was discontinued in 2014; it is unclear if this medication is still available in the US under other branding; it is available in Japan as Remitoro.

General information

Class/mechanism: Recombinant diphtheria toxin fusion protein which binds with high affinity to IL-2 receptors. The fusion protein is internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis and is cleaved, releasing the diphtheria toxin, which inhibits protein synthesis and causes cell death.[1][2][3]
