About this study

The study aims to explore the therapeutic value and mechanism of Interleukin-2 on children with Henoch-schönlein purpura.

Read the detailed description

The investigators designed a single center, open-label, prospective study that routinely administered low-dose IL-2 therapy to monitor the improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters to explore its efficacy and to observe changes in immune cell subsets and cytokines.For all patients,rhIL-2(500,000 unit per square meter) infusions seven days;recurrent patients were applied again for 7 days;patients who were diagnosed HSPN were treated on a routine basis for 7 consecutive days, and then once every two week for 3months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The change of immunological responses

    Enumeration of the number of subjects with a change in the absolute number of immune cells and serum cytokines in the peripheral blood

    Measured: day 0,day 7

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The value of serum immunoglobulins and complements

    Laboratory measures were detected, including,serum total IgE, serum Ig A,serum IgG,serum IgM,C3 and C4.

    Measured: day 0,day 7,3 month,6 month

  2. Incidence of adverse drug reactions

    Adverse events includes injection site reactions, influenza-like symptoms, infection, fever, tumor, cardiovascular event,drug-induced liver and kidney damage.

    Measured: up to 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IL-2 in people with Purpura, Schoenlein-Henoch, run by The First Hospital of Jilin University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of immunological responses (time frame: day 0,day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04387942, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Aug 2022.
