ILT-101 in Patients With Active Moderate to Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02955615
Lead Sponsor
Iltoo Pharma
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ILT-101 (human recombinant interleukin 2 (IL-2)) in patients with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus.

Detailed Description

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) plays an important role on immune homeostasis by acting on T lymphocytes. In systemic lupus erythematosus, there is a so called "insufficiency" in a subpopulation of T lymphocytes, the regulatory T cells (Tregs) leading to altered immune balance between regulatory and effector T cells. These cells seem to play a major role in the physiopathology of the disease. Many researches enlighten the fact that this Tregs/Teffs balance can be restored by administering low dose of IL-2. It is thus assumed that treatment with low dose of IL-2 may impact positively the progression of the disease and thus help patients improving their clinical outcomes.
