Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose the highest dose that can be given safely of recombinant Interleukin-2 rIL-2 in HIV-infected children This study also evaluates the effect of rIL-2 on the immune system of these patients

IL-2 is a substance naturally produced by the bodys white blood cells that plays an important role in helping the body fight infection HIV-infected patients do not produce enough IL-2 and it is hoped that the use of rIL-2 may improve immune system function in these patients First it is necessary to determine the safety and effectiveness of this drug in HIV-infected children
Detailed Description: According to study records IL-2 has not been tested in HIV-infected children Experience with IL-2 in pediatric populations is extremely limited Pahwa et al gave 30000 unitskg daily IV to a child with severe combined immunodeficiency This dose was well tolerated and the patient improved clinically as well as immunologically Part A is necessary to determine the maximum tolerated dose of IL-2 in infected children Part B will determine the efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose in infected children

Part A Children will receive rIL-2 intravenously for 5 days every 8 weeks for 3 cycles The study will enroll 4 patients in each of 3 dose levels Dose escalation may occur if all 4 patients in a dose level tolerate therapy without evidence of Grade 3 or higher toxicity If 1 of 4 subjects in any dose level experiences at least Grade 3 toxicity 2 additional patients will be enrolled in that dose level If 1 of these 2 additional patients experiences at least Grade 3 toxicity dose escalation will not proceed NOTE Once Part A is completed and the maximum tolerated dose is established children who participated in Part A and received less than the maximum tolerated dose will be offered additional therapy consisting of 3 cycles of rIL-2 at the maximum tolerated dose

Part B Children will receive rIL-2 intravenously at the maximum tolerated dose established in part A Treatment will be given for 5 days every 8 weeks for 3 cycles AS PER AMENDMENT 6498 Children will receive rIL-2 intravenously at the lowest dose for 5 days every 8 weeks for 6 cycles Patients who received this dose in part A will also be offered this regimen
