Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study aims to explore the therapeutic value and mechanism of Interleukin-2 on children with rheumatic diseases (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Primary Sjögren Syndrome, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
N/A

Detailed Description

The investigators designed a single center, open-label, prospective study that routinely administered low-dose IL-2 therapy to monitor the improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters to explore its efficacy and to observe changes in immune cell subsets and cytokines.

Methods: Patients were divided into two groups. One received standard therapy, while another one administrate with low-does IL-2 plus standard therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Recombinant Human Interleukin-2

Induced remission period,recombinant human IL-2(500,000 unit per square meter) infusions five days;Maintenance treatment period,recombinant human IL-2 infusions five days then once every two weeks for 6 months.

Drug: IL-2
Patients were received low dose recombinant human Interleukin-2
Other Names:
  • Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 for Injection
  • No Intervention: Traditional therapy

    Patients were treated with glucocorticoid and/or immunosuppressor.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in steroid dose and immunosuppressor dose at 1 year compared to control group [1 year]

      The average daily doses of steroid and immunosuppressor per square meter was recorded

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. The Immunologic Impact of IL-2 Treatment [1 month,3 month,6 month,1 year]

      Laboratory measures were detected, including, C3, C4 and anti-dsDNA titres.

    2. Immunological Responses [1 month,3 month,6 month,1 year]

      Enumeration of the number of subjects with a change in the absolute number of immune cells and serum cytokines in the peripheral blood

    3. Change from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI Score [1 month,3 month,6 month,1 year]

      Assessment version of the SLE Disease Activity Index (SELENA-SLEDAI) change. The higher the score represent the worse of the disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 105 points.

    4. Change from baseline in EULAR SS disease activity index [1 month,3 month,6 month,1 year]

      Low-activity (ESSDAI<5),moderate-activity (5≤ESSDAI≤13) ,high-activity (ESSDAI≥14) levels.

    5. Incidence of adverse drug reactions [up to 1 year]

      Adverse events includes injection site reactions, influenza-like symptoms, infection, fever, tumor, cardiovascular event,drug-induced liver and kidney damage.
