Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect around 1% of the population. Matenral immune activation (MIA) during pregnancy is a risk factor for ASD in children (Han 2021), mediated by maternal secretion of IL-17a, which disrupts neurodevelopment (Choi 2016). MIA causes a long-lasting disruption of the Tregs/Th17 balance in offspring (decrease in anti-inflammatory Tregs/increase in pro-inflammatory Th17s) via epigenetic mechanisms (Lim 2021; Ellul 2021). In a mouse model of MIA, adoptive transfer of Tregs was able to normalise autistic behaviour, highlighting the importance of Tregs in maintaining the autistic phenotype (Xu, 2021). In this same model, we have shown that IL-2fd (i) stimulates Tregs, (ii) corrects meningeal inflammation (iii) normalises synaptic connectivity and (iv) normalises autistic behaviour in the offspring (Ellul 2025). In humans, the use of low doses of interleukin-2 (IL2-fd) (ILT-101) leads to activation and selective expansion of Tregs and a reduction in Th17 (Klatzmann 2015), including in children (Rosenzwajg 2020). We hypothesise that the use of IL2-fd (ILT-101) in ASD patients born to mothers with a history of MIA could correct the Tregs deficiency and improve autistic symptoms.

A Phase I/II Open-label, Non-randomized, Monocentric, Single-arm Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Induced CD4+ Treg by LV Vector Transduction Expressing the FOXP3 cDNA (FOXP3-T4) in Patients With IPEX Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOXP3-T4 (an autologous gene therapy) alone or in combination with low-dose IL-2 for the treatment of IPEX syndrome. The therapy involves the transplantation of autologous CD4+ T-cells transduced ex vivo with the LV-EF1a-FOXP3-LNGFR lentiviral vector. The study follows a staggered approach: the first two patients will receive FOXP3-T4 monotherapy. Subsequent patients will receive FOXP3-T4 followed if needed by low-dose IL-2 treatment consisting of a daily dose for 5 days, then weekly administrations for 3 months.
The study aims to stabilize autoimmune manifestations and potentially cure the underlying disease, ultimately allowing for the discontinuation of ongoing immunosuppressive treatments.

BACKGROUND:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a life-threatening disease characterised by progressive loss of motor neurons with few therapeutic options. The MIROCALS study tested the hypothesis that low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2_LD) improves survival and function in ALS.

METHODS:

In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, male and female riluzole-naive participants, with either a possible, laboratory-supported probable, probable, or definite ALS diagnosis (revised El Escorial criteria), aged 18-76 years, with symptom duration of 24 months or fewer, and slow vital capacity of 70% or more, underwent a riluzole-only 12-18 week run-in period before randomisation in a 1:1 ratio to either 2 million international units (MIU) IL-2_LD or placebo by subcutaneous injection daily for 5 days every 28 days over 18 months. The primary endpoint was survival at 640 days (21 months). Secondary outcomes included safety, ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score, and biomarker measurements including regulatory T-cells (Tregs), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-phosphorylated-neurofilament heavy-chain (CSF-pNFH), and plasma and CSF-chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2). The primary endpoint analysis used unadjusted log-rank and Cox's model adjusted analyses using pre-defined prognostic covariates to control for the disease and treatment response heterogeneity. The study was 80% powered to detect a two-fold decrease in the risk of death by the log-rank test in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population, including all randomly allocated participants. MIROCALS is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03039673) and is complete.

FINDINGS:

From June 19, 2017, to Oct 16, 2019, 304 participants were screened, of whom 220 (72%) met all criteria for random allocation after the 12-to-18-week run-in period on riluzole. 136 (62%) of participants were male and 84 participants (38%) were female. 25 (11%) of the 220 randomly allocated participants were defined as having possible ALS under El Escorial criteria. At the cutoff date there was no loss to follow-up, and all 220 patients who were randomly allocated were documented as either deceased (90 [41%]) or alive (130 [59%]), so all participants were included in the ITT and safety populations. The primary endpoint unadjusted analysis showed a non-significant 19% decrease in risk of death with IL-2_LD (hazard ratio 0·81 [95% CI 0·54-1·22], p=0·33), failing to demonstrate the expected two-fold decrease in risk of death. The analysis of the primary endpoint adjusted on prognostic covariates, all measured at time of random allocation, showed a significant decrease of the risk of death with IL-2_LD (0·32 [0·14-0·73], p=0·007), with a significant treatment by CSF-pNFH interaction (1·0003 [1·0001-1·0005], p=0·001). IL-2_LD was safe, and significantly increased Tregs and decreased plasma-CCL2 at all timepoints. Stratification on CSF-pNFH levels measured at random allocation showed that IL-2_LD was associated with a significant 48% decrease in risk of death (0·52 [0·30-0·89], p=0·016) in the 70% of the population with low (750-3700 pg/mL) CSF-pNFH levels, while in the 21% with high levels (>3700 pg/mL), there was no significant difference (1·37 [0·68-2·75], p=0·38).

INTERPRETATION:

With this treatment schedule, IL-2_LD resulted in a non-significant reduction in mortality in the primary unadjusted analysis. However, the difference between the results of unadjusted and adjusted analyses of the primary endpoint emphasises the importance of controlling for disease heterogeneity in ALS randomised controlled trials. The decrease in risk of death achieved by IL-2_LD therapy in the trial population with low CSF-pNFH levels requires further investigation of the potential benefit of this therapy in ALS.

BACKGROUND:

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are pivotal in immune tolerance to allergens. Low-dose IL-2 (IL-2_LD) activates Treg cells.

OBJECTIVE:

Our aim was to assess IL-2_LD efficacy for controlling clinical responses to allergen exposures.

METHODS:

RHINIL-2 was a phase-2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients with allergic rhinitis to birch pollen (BP) were included; 66% of them had concomitant asthma. All had a total nasal symptom score (TNSS) of 5 or more following nasal exposure to BP in an environmental exposure chamber. Patients received 1 MUI per day of IL-2 (n = 12) or placebo (n = 12) for 5 days, followed by weekly injections for 4 weeks. Clinical responses to subsequent BP exposures in the environmental exposure chamber were evaluated by using TNSS, the rhinitis visual analog scale (VAS), and spirometry. The primary efficacy end point was the difference in TNSS area under the curve (AUC) between inclusion and day 40.

RESULTS:

IL-2_LD treatment induced a significant expansion of Treg cells. The difference in TNSS AUC between inclusion and day 40 AUC in the IL-2 and placebo groups was not significant. TNSS and visual analog scale AUCs were significantly reduced from baseline to day 40 in the IL-2_LD group only (P = .04 and P = .01, respectively). The ratio of FEV₁ to forced vital capacity (FEV_1P) and the forced midexpiratory flow (FEF_25%-75%) showed improvement in the IL-2_LD-treated versus in the groups given placebo at day 40 (P = .04 and P = .04, respectively). However, the short treatment duration used in this study could not have effects on specific IgE or IgG4 levels given their half-life. There were no severe treatment-related adverse events.

CONCLUSION:

IL-2_LD is well tolerated in patients with allergy, even in those with asthma, thus clearing the path for further therapeutic development. Our work suggests that Treg cells can safely attenuate an ongoing allergic response. It paves the way for larger studies with longer treatment periods, which are needed to properly evaluate the therapeutic potential of IL-2 in allergy.

Low-dose interleukin-2 in patients with bipolar depression: A phase 2 randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial

Article

Author: Tchitchek, Nicolas ; Le Corvoisier, Philippe ; Tamouza, Ryad ; Le Dudal, Katia ; Lorenzon, Roberta ; Rosenzwajg, Michelle ; Richard, Jean-Romain ; Leboyer, Marion ; Vicaut, Eric ; Klatzmann, David ; Foiselle, Marianne ; Arrouasse, Raphaele ; Ellul, Pierre

Immune abnormalities including an insufficiency of regulatory T cells (Treg) and increased blood-based inflammatory markers have been observed in bipolar disorders (BD), particularly during depression. As Tregs are pivotal to control inflammation, Treg stimulation by low-dose IL-2 (IL-2_LD) could have a therapeutic impact on bipolar depression. We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (2 active: 1 placebo) proof-of-concept trial of add-on IL-2_LD in patients with bipolar depression. Patients received a placebo or IL-2_LD (1MIU) once a day for 5 days, and then once a week for 4 weeks starting on week 2. The primary objective was to demonstrate a biological Treg response to IL-2_LD assessed by fold increase in Treg percentage of CD4 + cells from baseline to day 5. Secondary objectives included safety assessment and mood improvement throughout the study period. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04133233. Fourteen patients with bipolar depression were included, with 4 receiving placebo and 10 IL-2_LD. Baseline clinical and biological characteristics were balanced between groups. The primary evaluation criterion was met, with IL-2_LD expanding 1.17 [95 % CI 1.01-1.34] vs 1.01 [95 % CI 0.90-1.12] (p = 0.0421) and activating Tregs. Secondary evaluation criteria were also met with significant improvements of depressive symptoms and global functioning from day-15 onwards in the IL-2_LD treated patients. The treatment was well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events related to treatment. This proof-of-concept trial shows that stimulating Tregs in patients with bipolar depression is safe and associated with clinical improvements. This supports a pathophysiological role of inflammation in BD and warrants pursuing the evaluation of IL-2_LD as an adjunct treatment of major mood disorders.

Diabetes Overview Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use the insulin that is produced effectively. The vast majority of diabetes can be divided into two types: type 1 and type 2. Diabetes symptoms include polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, sometimes accompanied by polyphagia and blurred vision. Chronic hyperglycemia may also cause growth impairment and susceptibility to certain infections. Diabetes long-term complications include retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss, nephropathy, which can lead to renal failure, peripheral neuropathy, which can lead to foot ulcers, amputations, and Charcot joints, and autonomic neuropathy, which can cause gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiovascular symptoms. Diabetes is diagnosed through a thorough physical examination, medical history, and a battery of specialized tests. The A1C, or glycated hemoglobin test, is the primary test used to diagnose both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes treatment typically consists of diet control, exercise, home blood glucose testing, oral medication, and insulin. Insulin is the primary treatment for type 1 diabetes, and people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medications but may need insulin in some cases.

Celularity Announces Treatment of First Patient in Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial for NK Cell Therapy CYNK-101, in Development for the First-Line Treatment of Advanced HER2 Positive Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction (G/GEJ) Cancers

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) (“Celularity”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing placental-derived off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapies, today announced that the first patient has been treated with CYNK-101, a novel allogeneic off-the-shelf human placental CD34+ stem cell derived NK cell therapeutic candidate that is genetically modified to express high-affinity and cleavage-resistant CD16 (FCGRIIIA) variant to enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Earlier this year, CYNK-101 was granted both a Fast Track Designation and an Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive G/GEJ cancer. “It is well understood that gastric cancer has less than desirable survival outcomes,” said Robert Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Celularity. “CYNK-101 is built on the foundation of our unique placental-derived source material, which as compared to other cell sources has naturally enhanced proliferative potential, or stemness, that has been shown to be a determinant of persistence and efficacy potential. Using novel genetic engineering, we enhance the ability of CYNK-101 cells to synergize with approved antibodies and provide a novel, potentially non-cross resistant therapy that we believe will be effective in improving the lives of patients with G/GEJ cancers as well as a broad range of other indications.” Dr. Darren Sigal, head of the gastrointestinal cancer section at The Scripps Cancer Research Institute, commented, “The dosing of the first patient in Celularity CYNK-101 gastric cancer program is an exciting milestone in the clinical development of cell therapies in solid tumors. NK cells possess inherent direct anti-solid tumor activity, recruit non-cross resistant anti-tumor T cells, and may induce memory T cells for long-term anti-cancer immune surveillance.” Dr. Martin Gutierrez, principal investigator and Chief of Thoracic Oncology at John Theurer Cancer Center – Hackensack Meridian Health who treated the first patient said, “We believe NK cells are poised to be the key components of multipronged therapeutic strategies for cancer. It is our understanding that we administered what is the highest dose of allogeneic NK cells so far over a 21-day period. Those cells were derived from human placental hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and genetically modified to express a variant of CD16 to enable high affinity and enhance antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity. We administered 36 X 106 transduced CYNK-101/kg weekly for four weeks in combination with pembrolizumab and trastuzumab to a patient with Her2 positive gastroesophageal carcinoma. All infusions occurred in the outpatient setting.” Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial of CYNK-101 in Gastric Cancer CYNK-101 is currently being investigated in the Phase 1 portion of a multicenter Phase 1/2a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CYNK-101 in combination with trastuzumab and pembrolizumab, as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2 positive gastric/gastroesophageal (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. This study is utilizing a 3+3 open label design and will evaluate two escalating dosing cohort levels of CYNK-101 in combination with rhIL2 following an initial induction and lymphodepletion regimen. Once the maximum tolerated dose or recommended Phase 2 dose is determined in Phase 1, the Phase 2a portion of the study will commence (NCT05207722). About Gastric Cancer Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Advanced gastric cancer remains one of the hardest to cure, with a median overall survival (OS) of 10–12 months and a five-year OS of about 5–20%. Approximately 22% of patients with advanced gastric cancer have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression or amplification. About CYNK-101 Celularity’s therapeutic candidate based on its placental-derived genetically modified NK cell type is CYNK-101, an allogeneic, off-the-shelf human placental CD34+-derived NK cell product genetically modified to express high-affinity and cleavage-resistant CD16 (FCGRIIIA) variant to drive antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Currently CYNK-101 is being developed as a treatment in combination with standard chemotherapy, trastuzumab and pembrolizumab for HER2 positive overexpressing gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. The safety and efficacy of CYNK-101 have not been established, and CYNK-101 has not been approved for any use by the FDA or any other analogous regulatory authority. About Celularity Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) headquartered in Florham Park, N.J., is a clinical stage biotechnology company leading the next evolution in cellular medicine by developing allogeneic cryopreserved off-the-shelf placental-derived cell therapies, including therapeutic programs using unmodified natural killer (NK) cells, genetically modified NK cells, T-cells engineered with a CAR (CAR T-cells), and mesenchymal-like adherent stromal cells (ASCs). These therapeutic programs target indications in cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases. In addition, Celularity develops and manufactures innovative biomaterials also derived from the postpartum placenta. Celularity believes that by harnessing the placenta’s unique biology and ready availability, it can develop therapeutic solutions that address significant unmet global needs for effective, accessible, and affordable therapies.
