To describe the effectiveness and tolerability of low-dose interleukin (IL)-2 in treating patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to H-antihistamines.
This retrospective study included CSU patients who received treatment with at least one cycle of IL-2, injected intramuscularly at a dose of 1.0 million international units daily for 7 consecutive days, after failing treatment with H-antihistamines. Patients were followed up for ≥12 weeks.
Of the 15 patients, 7 (46.7%) and 11 (73.3%) achieved complete response at Week 2 and Week 12, respectively. The mean change of urticaria control test (UCT) and weekly urticaria activity score (UAS7) from baseline was 6.6 (95% CI, 4.2 to 8.9) and - 16.9 (95% CI, -24.0 to -9.8), respectively, at Week 12. Local injection-site reactions were the most common adverse events. No serious adverse events were reported.
Low-dose IL-2 treatment improves symptoms and disease control for CSU patients refractory to H-antihistamines.
描述低剂量白细胞介素(IL)-2 治疗对 H 抗组胺药物难治的慢性自发性荨麻疹(CSU)患者的有效性和耐受性。
本回顾性研究纳入了接受至少一个周期 IL-2 治疗的 CSU 患者,在 H 抗组胺药物治疗失败后,患者接受每日 100 万国际单位的肌肉内注射,连续 7 天。对患者进行了≥12 周的随访。
在 15 名患者中,分别有 7 名(46.7%)和 11 名(73.3%)在第 2 周和第 12 周时达到完全缓解。第 12 周时,荨麻疹控制测试(UCT)和每周荨麻疹活动评分(UAS7)自基线的平均变化分别为 6.6(95%置信区间,4.2 至 8.9)和-16.9(95%置信区间,-24.0 至-9.8)。最常见的不良反应是局部注射部位反应。未报告严重不良事件。
低剂量 IL-2 治疗可改善对 H 抗组胺药物难治的 CSU 患者的症状和疾病控制。
