Abstract EN
Background.
Recombinant T-cell receptor ligand 1000 (RTL1000) is a single-chain protein construct containing the outer two domains of HLA-DR2 linked to myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein- (MOG-) 35–55 peptide.
Analogues of RTL1000 induce T-cell tolerance, reverse clinical and histological disease, and promote repair in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in DR2 transgenic, C57BL/6, and SJL/J mice.
Objective.
Determining the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and tolerability of RTL1000 in multiple sclerosis (MS) subjects.
Methods.
This was a multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation study in HLA-DR2+ MS subjects.
Consecutive cohorts received RTL1000 doses of 2, 6, 20, 60, 200, and 100 mg, respectively.
Subjects within each cohort randomly received a single intravenous infusion of RTL1000 or placebo at a 4 : 2 ratio.
Safety monitoring included clinical, laboratory, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations.
Results.
Thirty-four subjects completed the protocol.
All subjects tolerated the 2–60 mg doses of RTL1000.
Doses ≥100 mg caused hypotension and diarrhea in 3 of 4 subjects, leading to discontinuation of further enrollment.
Conclusions.
The maximum tolerated dose of RTL1000 in MS subjects is 60 mg, comparable to effective RTL doses in EAE.
RTL1000 is a novel approach for MS treatment that may induce immunoregulation without immunosuppression and promote neural repair.
