E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |

|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives: To assess the optimal dose for expansion of Treg cells in CVID patients. To assess the impact of low-dose Aldesleukin on chronic diarrhoea in patients with AIE and CVID. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Adult patient with a diagnosis of CVID according to the ESID criteria (www.esid.org) Sufficient IgG replacement therapy for at least 6 months with IgG trough levels above 6g/l. Diagnosis of autoimmune enteropathy of the upper gastrointestinal tract proven by histology. Last biopsy <6 months before study inclusion. Clinical activity of enteropathy within the last month before inclusion defined as ≥ 3 loose stools per day on more than half of the days. Report of negative culture for pathogenic intestinal bacteria within one month before study inclusion. Failure of topic or systemic steroid treatment or contraindications for steroid therapy or unacceptable side effects of steroid treatment.

|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Need for a scheduled application of contrast agent during the trial. Patients with malignant neoplasm within the last 5 years prior to visit 1 (except adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix). Patients with an ECOG ≥ 2. Patients with a history of or current severe cardiac or pulmonary disease or uncontrolled pericardial or pleural effusion. Patients with thrombosis or thromboembolic event < 6 months before study inclusion. Patients with active CNS involvement (e.g. intracranial granulomata, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis or other autoinflammatory CNS disease) or recurrent seizures. Uncontrolled chronic infectious disease (including HIV, EBV, CMV, HCV, HBV, tuberculosis) or conditions which represent a high risk for infection (i.e. severe bronchiectasis) which might interfere with the study at the discretion of the investigator. Major infection requiring antibiotic therapy or infection requiring hospitalization within the last 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit. Treatment with any immunosuppressive, cytotoxic drug within the last 4 weeks prior to visit 1 (except prednisolone ≤ 20mg or equivalent). Patients with allogenic organ transplants. Active autoimmue manifestation requiring treatment (except autoimmune enteropathy). Clinically relevant chronic or acute renal (creatinine >1.25 ULN), hepatic (AST > 3 ULN, bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN) or other severe organ impairment. Preexisting cytopenia (hematocrit <30%, thrombocytes <100.000/μl, leukocytes <3.000/μl or neutrophils <1.500/μl or CD4 cell counts <100/ μl.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary safety endpoint: Adverse events will be recorded according to GCP guidelines during the treatment and follow-up phase at every site visit (every two weeks). Patients will be clinically monitored for signs of autoimmunity at every site visit. Autoantibodies will be measured before start of the therapy and after completion of the follow-up period. Differential blood count (eosinophil counts), lymphocyte subsets as well as liver enzymes and creatinine will be measured every two weeks.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Data from at least 33 treatment cycles (n=3 patients fulifilling the whole treatment period) will be analysed. Regression models will be used to describe the relation of the different outcomes to dose. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key secondary endpoint(s): % of Tregs will be measured before each cycle and on day 4 of every cycle and on day 6 of the induction cycle(s). Disease activity will be assessed with a self-administered questionnaire (IBDQ) and a stool diary filled in by patients. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Data from at least 33 treatment cycles (n=3 patients fulifilling the whole treatment period) will be analysed. Regression models will be used to describe the relation of the different outcomes to dose. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The clinical trial can be terminated prematurely at his centre by the investigator if, for instance unforeseeable circumstances have arisen at the trial centre which preclude the continuation of the clinical trial, the investigator considers that the resources for continuation are no longer available, the investigator considers that the continuation of the trial is no longer ethically or medically justifiable.
