In an exploratory trial treating "long COVID" with the CCR5-binding antibody leronlimab, we observed significantly increased blood cell surface CCR5 in treated symptomatic responders but not in nonresponders or placebo-treated participants. These findings suggest an unexpected mechanism of abnormal immune downmodulation in some persons that is normalized by leronlimab. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04678830.
在一项使用CCR5结合抗体leronlimab治疗“长新冠”的探索性试验中,我们观察到,在接受治疗且有症状的反应者中,血细胞表面CCR5显著增加,而在无反应者或接受安慰剂治疗的参与者中则未出现这种情况。这些发现提示,在一些人中存在异常免疫下调的意外机制,而leronlimab可使其恢复正常。临床试验注册编号:NCT04678830。
