Abstract:
:PI-2301 is an immunomodulator that could be an alternative therapy for MS. A placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose, double-blind study was performed in patients with secondary-progressive MS. Treatment was given subcutaneously once weekly for 8 weeks, followed by a 4-week open-label treatment period with active drug. The most common adverse event was transient injection site reactions. Non-significant trend for increases in serum levels of IL-3, IL-13, and CCL22 over time were suggestive of a beneficial T(H)2 immune response in subjects dosed with PI-2301 at 3 and 10 mg. MRI data indicated a non-significant trend for a reduction of lesion numbers in subjects treated with 1 and 3 mg PI-2301.
