Main objective

Scope: Pharmacodynamic, Safety, Efficacy

The primary objective of this exploratory, indication-finding basket trial is to evaluate and compare the safety and the relationship between the magnitude of Treg responses and clinical responses elicited by low-dose IL-2 therapy in participants with active Pemphigus vulgaris / foliaceus (PV/PF), Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP), Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis (PM/DM) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).

Secondary objectives 1

  1. Secondary objectives are to estimate the clinical efficacy of low-dose IL-2 therapy assessed by changes in disease-specific measures of disease activity compared to placebo-treated participants.

1 Single-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical basket trial
IL-2-ID is an interdisciplinary, investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase 2, proof-of concept, indication-finding basket trial aiming to explore and compare the safety, clinical efficacy, biological responses and the relationship between biological and clinical efficacy of low-dose IL-2 therapy with aldesleukin versus placebo in participants with active Pemphigus vulgaris / foliaceus (PV/PF), Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP), Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis (PM/DM) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
Randomised Controlled Double [{"id":103458,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"},{"id":103459,"code":1,"name":"Subject"}] Low-dose interleukin-2 (aldesleukin): The therapeutic regimen consists of one treatment cycle with daily
subcutaneous injections of 1.5 million IU of aldesleukin or placebo for five consecutive days (induction period) followed by seven weekly subcutaneous injections of either 1.5 million IU of aldesleukin or placebo (maintenance period) until the End-of-Treatment (EOT) visit at day 57 (+/- 1).
Placebo (Glucose 5%): The therapeutic regimen consists of one treatment cycle with daily
subcutaneous injections of 1.5 million IU of aldesleukin or placebo for five consecutive days (induction period) followed by seven weekly subcutaneous injections of either 1.5 million IU of aldesleukin or placebo (maintenance period) until the End-of-Treatment (EOT) visit at day 57 (+/- 1).

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 2

  1. The IL-2 induced Treg response, defined as the increase in absolute numbers of CD3+CD4+FoxP3+CD127loCD25hi Treg according to the area under the curve (AUC) obtained between day 1 and day 57,
  2. The clinical response at day 57 assessed by absolute changes in disease-specific and z-standardized disease activity measures from day 1 to day 57. The respective disease activity measures for each of the investigated diseases are the Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI), Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (MMPDAI), plasma levels of Creatine-Kinase (CK) or Alkaline Phosphatase (AP).

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. The clinical response at day 57, assessed by absolute and relative changes in disease-specific measures (PDAI, MMPDAI, CK, AP) between day 1 and day 57 compared with placebo.
