Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators have demonstrated that the mean percentage of circulating CD8+ regulatory T (CD8 Tregs) cells is significantly higher in patients with warm hemolytic anemia (wAHAI) in remission than in controls and is correlated to hemoglobin levels. In vitro, low dose of interleukine-2 (IL2) induce the expansion of CD8 Tregs. The objective is to demonstrate that, over a 9 week treatment period; low doses of IL2 can induce the expansion of CD8Tregs in patients with active wAHAI.


Clinical Trial Description

wAIHA is a B-cell-mediated autoimmune disease in which red blood cells are targeted by autoantibodies, which leads to marked decrease in their lifespan. The investigators demonstrated two years ago in a multivariate retrospective study that the CD3+CD8+ HLA-DR+ T-cell population was associated to a better outcome. The investigators observed that the proportion of circulating CD3+CD8+CD25highFoxp3+ T cells was significantly higher in patients with wAIHA in remission than in controls and correlated to hemoglobin levels. Extensive phenotyping and functional analysis revealed that those cells were bona fide Tregs acting in an IL10-dependent manner. Finally, culture of PBMC from normal donors or active wAIHAI patients with low dose of IL2 promoted the expansion of functional CD3+CD8+CD25+Foxp3+. Those observations constituted the rationale to propose low dose of IL2 to treat patients with active wAIHA with the objective of demonstrating that this treatment is able to induce the expansion of CD8Tregs, over a 9 week treatment period.

Four courses of IL2 (aldesleukin [Proleukin, Novartis]) will be administered subcutaneously for 5 days. The first course will be limited to a dose of 1.5 million IU per day and followed by a 9 day wash-out. The other courses of 3 million IU per day will be initiated after a 16 day wash-out.

Patients will be evaluated on day 1 and day 5 of each treatment course, before the first and last administration of interleukin-2 and will also be evaluated at 6 months. ;
