Efavaleukin Alfa, a Novel IL-2 Mutein, Selectively Expands Regulatory T Cells in Patients with SLE: Interim Results of a Phase 1b Multiple Ascending Dose Study
Background/Purpose: Diminished IL-2 as well as both quantitative and qualitative abnormalities in regulatory T cells (Treg) are associated with autoimmune diseases including SLE. Efavaleukin alfa…Abstract Number: 1774 • ACR Convergence 2021
Blood-based Immune Profiling Combined with Machine Learning Discriminates Psoriatic Arthritis from Psoriasis Patients
Background/Purpose: Early detection of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in psoriasis (Pso) patients is crucial for timely treatment and prevention of structural joint damage. We aimed to…Abstract Number: 0470 • ACR Convergence 2020
Th1 Polarization Defines the T Cell Compartment in the Joints of Oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligo JIA) is defined by limited joint involvement at disease onset. Some children achieve long-term remission while others continue to…Abstract Number: 0851 • ACR Convergence 2020
Iberdomide Decreases B Cells and Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells, Increases Regulatory T Cells and IL-2, and Has Enhanced Clinical Efficacy in Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with High Aiolos or the IFN Gene Expression Signature
Background/Purpose: Iberdomide is a high-affinity cereblon ligand that promotes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3), transcription factors linked to the genetic…Abstract Number: 0976 • ACR Convergence 2020
Kidney-infiltrating T Cells in Murine Lupus Nephritis Exhibit Transcriptional Heterogeneity and Oligoclonal Expansion
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a hallmark of SLE, affecting 50-60% of patients within 10 years of diagnosis. Current treatments for LN have suboptimal response…Abstract Number: 1413 • ACR Convergence 2020
An Imbalance Between Regulatory and Inflammatory T Cell Subsets Distinguishes Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease Patients from Asymptomatic ANA+ Individuals
Background/Purpose: The anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)-associated systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) are characterized by a prolonged preclinical phase in which ANAs are produced in the absence…Abstract Number: 1824 • ACR Convergence 2020
Selective Expansion of Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by a Novel IL-2 Conjugate, NKTR-358
Background/Purpose: Treg dysfunction and impaired IL-2 production have been implicated as key immunological defects in the breakdown of immune self-tolerance in SLE. Low-dose IL-2 can…Abstract Number: 89 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Difference of Induced CD4+ and Natural Regulatory T Cells in Targeting Inflamed Synovial Tissues in Autoimmune Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Enhanced evidence supports that autoimmune diseases often result from an imbalance between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and interleukin-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells. However, under…
