Ontak (denileukin diftitox)

Denileukin diftitox (trade name Ontak) was an antineoplastic agent, an engineered protein combining Interleukin-2 and Diphtheria toxin. Denileukin diftitox could bind to Interleukin-2 receptors and introduce the diphtheria toxin into cells that express those receptors, killing the cells. In some Leukemias and Lymphomas malignant cells express these receptors, so denileukin diftitox can target these.

In 1999 Ontak was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)... Wikipedia
