Abstract:
:Blockade of the CD40/CD154 signal is a potential immunomodulatory strategy for T-cell-mediated diseases. As a part of a phase 1, multicenter, dose-escalating trial of humanized monoclonal antibody to CD154 (IDEC-131/E6040) in patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), the autoimmune response to glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) was evaluated at successive time points. Five patients each were given a single infusion of 1, 2, 5, or 10 mg/kg IDEC-131/E6040 and followed for 3 months. All adverse events were mild, and there were no severe infections or thromboembolic events. No increase in platelet count was observed in patients treated at 1, 2, or 5 mg/kg, but an increase was observed in 3 patients treated at 10 mg/kg. In only the patients treated at 5 or 10 mg/kg, the frequency of B cells producing anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibodies, GPIIb/IIIa-induced T-cell proliferation, and anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibody production by antigen-dependent T-B-cell collaboration were all suppressed in parallel after the treatment, with a slow return to baseline. In contrast, T-cell response to an irrelevant antigen was not affected. These findings suggest that CD40/CD154 blockade therapy is potentially effective for refractory ITP, through selective suppression of autoreactive T and B cells to platelet antigens.
