'''Daclizumab''' (trade name '''Zenapax''') is a therapeutic humanized ] to the alpha subunit of the ] of ]. It is used to prevent ] in ]ation, especially in ] transplants. '''Daclizumab''' (trade name '''Zinbryta''') is a therapeutic humanized ] which was used for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of ] (MS).

Daclizumab is currently in phase II clinical trials in the U.S.


==Medical uses==
In April 2008, ], the pharmeceutical company that markets Daclizumab (under the name "Zenapax") in Europe, submitted an application to have its marketing authorisation withdrawn in the EU for commercial reasons. The drug faced diminishing market demand, according to the company. There were no safety concerns with its use. As of January 2009, its marketing authorisation has been withdrawn and the product discontinued completely.<ref>British National Formulary, Edition 57</ref><ref></ref>

In clinical trials, decreases of 45% in annualized relapse rate have been reported, as well as a 41% reduction in the proportion of patients who relapsed, and a 54% reduction in the number of new lesions.<ref name=2015rev/> A 2013 ] ] concluded that there was insufficient evidence to determine the efficacy of daclizumab relative to placebo in people with ] and, prior to its being discontinued, the need to investigate longer lengths of treatment and follow-up.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Liu J, Wang LN, Zhan S, Xia Y | title = Daclizumab for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | issue = 12 | pages = CD008127 | date = December 2013 | pmid = 24363032 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD008127.pub4 | pmc = 11491876 }}</ref>
It is given in multiple doses, the first 1 hour before the transplant operation and 5 further doses given at two week intervals after the transplant. These saturate the receptors and prevent T cell activation and thus prevent formation of ] against the transplant.


===Discontinued use===

==Contraindications==
Daclizumab usage may also be indicated in place of a calcineurin-inhibitor (] or ]) during the early phase after kidney transplantation, when the kidney is recovering and vulnerable to calcineurin-inhibitor toxicity. This has been shown to be beneficial in ] kidney transplantation.

==Adverse effects==
In 2006 it began a Phase II clinical trial that finished in 2007 as a possible ] treatment. Participants were nine patients with multiple sclerosis not controlled with ].

In clinical trials for MS, there were no treatment-related deaths or increased risk of cancer; side effects that occurred more frequently with daclizumab versus interferon included infections (65% versus 57%), skin rashes (37% versus 19%) and liver complications (approximately 18% versus 12%).<ref name=2015rev/>

==Pharmacology==
===Mechanism of action===
Daclizumab blocks IL-2 receptors containing the alpha subunit (CD25), which include the high-affinity receptors. Medium-affinity receptors, on the other hand, consist of two beta subunits (]) and are not affected by daclizumab. While the exact mechanism is unknown, the net effect is a reduction of T-cell responses and expansion of ]<sup>bright</sup> ]s.<ref name="AC" />

===Pharmacokinetics===
After ] of a single dose, daclizumab has a ] of about 90% and reaches highest ] levels after 5 to 7 days. Given every four weeks, steady state concentrations are found after the fourth dose. It is expected that daclizumab, like other antibodies, is degraded by ]s to peptides and finally amino acids, and that it does not interact with ] liver enzymes.<ref name="AC" />

The ] is 21 days. Patients who developed antibodies against daclizumab eliminated it 19% faster.<ref name="AC" />

==History==
Daclizumab was created by scientists at ] (called "Protein Design Labs" at that time) by ] the mouse mAb called anti-Tac, which targets ], the IL-2 receptor α chain; it blocks the interaction of ] with the IL-2 receptor and prevents activation of ].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Tsurushita N, Hinton PR, Kumar S | title = Design of humanized antibodies: from anti-Tac to Zenapax | journal = Methods | volume = 36 | issue = 1 | pages = 69–83 | date = May 2005 | pmid = 15848076 | doi = 10.1016/j.ymeth.2005.01.007 }}</ref> Anti-Tac had been discovered by Thomas A. Waldmann, M.D., chief of the Metabolism Branch at the ] and his team, and they had conducted animal studies and a small clinical trial of anti-Tac in people with T-cell leukemia, with promising results, but people quickly developed their own antibodies rejecting the mouse protein; Waldman, and his colleagues then approached Protein Design Labs to humanize the antibody.<ref name=JNCI>{{cite journal | vauthors = Swenson RS, Weisinger JR, Ruggeri JL, Reaven GM | title = Evidence that parathyroid hormone is not required for phosphate homeostasis in renal failure | journal = Metabolism | volume = 24 | issue = 2 | pages = 199–204 | date = February 1975 | pmid = 1113683 | doi = 10.1016/0026-0495(75)90021-9 }}</ref> PDL and the NIH scientists then approached ], a leader in transplant medicine development, to get the drug developed and approved, as PDL didn't have the resources to actually bring the product to market.<ref name=JNCI/> In March 2018 the drug was removed from the market worldwide.
