Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Interleukin 2
Interleukin 2, 1MUI.= Proleukin®, RhIL-2
|
Drug: Interleukin 2
Induction period: repeated administration of low-dose IL-2 (1MUI/day, sc) during 5 consecutive days.Maintenance period: treatment with IL-2, 1MUI once every 15 days (except systemic lupus erythematosus's patients every 7 days) for 6 months |
- Percentages of Tregs [ Time Frame: Day8 ]Change in Treg percentage (percentages of Tregs within the CD4+ lymphocytes) at Day-8 after administration of low-dose of IL2 compared to baseline (Day0)
- Percentages of Tregs [ Time Frame: Day 15, 29, 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 ]Changes in Treg percentage at Day 15, 29, 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 compared to baseline (Day0)
- inflammation markers (CRP and CRP ultra sensible) [ Time Frame: Day 0, 1, 8, 15, 29, 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 ]Changes in levels of inflammation markers
- markers of inflammatory anemia (Hemoglobin, serum iron level, transferrin) ferritin [ Time Frame: Day 0, 1, 8, 15, 29, 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 ]Changes in levels of inflammation markers
- Number of relapses [ Time Frame: up to Day540 ]
- CGI-sev, CGI-activity and CGI-eff scales [ Time Frame: Day 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 ]Change in the clinical global impression severity and efficacy scale (CGI-sev, CGI-act and CGI-eff scales) at Day 85, 183, 240, 360 and 540 compared to baseline (Day1)
- EuroQL-5 scale [ Time Frame: Day 183 ]Change in the quality of life (EuroQL-5 scale)
- Evolution of clinical, biological or radiological criteria specific to each disease [ Time Frame: up to Day 540 ]Changes in disease-specific score and/or evolution of clinical, biological or radiological criteria specific to each disease
- Safety Assessment [ Time Frame: up to Day 540 ]Safety Assessment all along the observation period (Day-1 to Day-240): Safety assessment will include vital signs, adverse events and concomitant medications collection as well as biology during the 6 months of the treatment period; .In addition, the evolution of the disease will be followed up to 1 year after IL2- treatment stop.
