简要总结
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multifactorial genesis. Recent research suggests a numerical and functional deficit of regulatory T (Treg) cells as an important contributing factor to the pathology seen in SLE. Treg cells play important roles in dampening overt stimulation of effector cells, as seen in many autoimmune diseases. As Treg cells are highly dependent on interleukin-2 (IL-2), application of low doses of IL-2 leads to markedly increased numbers and improved functionality of Treg cells in mice and humans. Several clinical trials investigated the safety of low-dose IL-2 treatment in different autoimmune diseases, including SLE. The trials conducted so far mainly focused on an increase in Treg cells after IL-2 treatment, not evaluating in detail the effects on other immune cells, presumably also playing important roles in the pathogenesis of SLE. For this reason, the investigators of this trial aim to conduct a complete phenotyping of cellular and soluble components in the blood of SLE patients treated with low-dose IL-2. Furthermore, the investigators want to offer this promising treatment to SLE patients in a controlled framework of an investigator initiated clinical trial.

Note that female participants who are surgically sterilized / hysterectomized or post-menopausal for longer than 2 years are not considered as being of childbearing potential.
- •Male participants are obliged to use condoms as well to inform their partner about the participation in this trial. In addition, the partner must use a save method of contraception as described above.
- •Other clinically significant concomitant disease states (e.g. renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, etc.).
- •Known or suspected non-compliance, drug or alcohol abuse.
- •Inability to follow the procedures of the study, e.g. due to language problems, psychological disorders or dementia of the participant.

- •Chronic infections:
- •HIV-positive individuals (increased risk of severe infections).
- •Patients suffering from active hepatitis B or C are ineligible.
- •Patients suffering from active tuberculosis are ineligible. Patients with latent tuberculosis may be eligible if patient received adequate tuberculostatic treatment.
- •Any reason at the discretion of the treating physician where treatment with the investigational drug could indicate a risk for the patient.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of increase in percentage of Treg cells
时间窗: Comparison between baseline (visit 2, day 0) and week 9 (visit 9, day 68).
The primary outcome of this study is an increase in percentage of Treg cells of total CD4+ T cells between visit 2 (baseline) and week 9 (visit 9) measured in the blood of SLE patients not receiving Belimumab treatment. Treg cells are defined as CD3+CD4+CD127loCD25hiFoxp3+ and total CD4+ T cells are defined as CD3+CD4+.
