BACKGROUND & AIMS: Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in the trafficking and activation of leukocytes and is up-regulated in inflamed mucosa in Crohn's disease. ISIS 2302 is an antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide that inhibits ICAM-1 expression. The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary assessment of tolerability, pharmacology, and efficacy of ISIS 2302 in Crohn's disease.
Twenty patients with active, steroid-treated Crohn's disease were randomized (3:1, ISIS 2302 to placebo) to receive over 26 days 13 intravenous infusions of ISIS 2302 (0.5, 1, or 2 mg/kg) or saline placebo in a double-blinded study. The patients were followed up for 6 months.
At the end of treatment. 47% (7 of 15) of ISIS 2302-treated and 20% (1 of 5) of the placebo-treated patients were in remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] < 150). At the end of month 6, 5 of these 7 ISIS 2302-treated remitters were still in remission, and a 6th patient had a CDAI of 156. Corticosteroid usage was significantly lower (P = 0.0001) in the ISIS 2302-treated patients. These findings were corroborated by significant increases in beta7 and alpha d bearing CD3+ peripheral blood lymphocytes and by decreases in intestinal mucosal ICAM-1 expression during the treatment period.
ISIS 2302 seems to be a well-tolerated and promising therapy for steroid-treated Crohn's disease.
细胞间黏附分子1(ICAM - 1)在白细胞的运输和激活中起重要作用,且在克罗恩病的炎症黏膜中上调。ISIS 2302是一种抑制ICAM - 1表达的反义硫代磷酸酯寡脱氧核苷酸。本研究的目的是对ISIS 2302在克罗恩病中的耐受性、药理学和疗效进行初步评估。
在一项双盲研究中,将20例接受类固醇治疗的活动性克罗恩病患者随机分组(3∶1,ISIS 2302组与安慰剂组),在26天内接受13次静脉输注ISIS 2302(0.5、1或2 mg/kg)或生理盐水安慰剂。对患者进行6个月的随访。
治疗结束时,接受ISIS 2302治疗的患者中有47%(15例中的7例)缓解(克罗恩病活动指数[CDAI]<150),接受安慰剂治疗的患者中有20%(5例中的1例)缓解。在第6个月末,这7例接受ISIS 2302治疗的缓解者中有5例仍处于缓解状态,第6例患者的CDAI为156。接受ISIS 2302治疗的患者中皮质类固醇的使用显著减少(P = 0.0001)。治疗期间,β7和αd阳性的CD3 +外周血淋巴细胞显著增加以及肠黏膜ICAM - 1表达降低证实了这些发现。
对于接受类固醇治疗的克罗恩病,ISIS 2302似乎是一种耐受性良好且有前景的治疗方法。
