Sponsor: The Methodist Hospital Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2a trial to study the biological activity, safety, and tolerability of regulatory T Lymphocytes (Tregs) taken and expanded outside of the body and returned back to the same person whose Treg were removed, given back by IV (intravenously) and in combination with low-dose IL-2 in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Official title: Phase 2a Study of the Expansion and Infusion of Autologous T-Regulatory Cells in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Monthly autologous Treg cells infusions + 3 times per week Interleukin-2 injections

For the first 6-months of the study: T-regulatory cells taken from a patient, increased in number in a lab, and returned through monthly intravenous (IV) infusions back to same patient + 3 times per week subcutaneous Interleukin-2 injections

OTHER

Monthly placebo infusions + 3 times per week placebo injections

For first 6-months of study: monthly placebo infusions + 3 times per week subcutaneous placebo injections

BIOLOGICAL

Monthly autologous Treg cells infusions + 3 times per week Interleukin-2 injections

For the second 6-months of the study: all participants will receive T-regulatory cells taken from the patient, that have been increased in number in a lab, and returned through monthly intravenous (IV) infusions back to same patient (Treg cell owner) + 3 times per week subcutaneous Interleukin-2 injections.
