项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Long-term outcomes after lung transplantation remain disappointing, and the median survival is 6.7 years. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the leading cause of death beyond the first year after lung transplantation. Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), which is increasingly recognized after lung transplantation, is caused by donor-specific antibodies (DSA) to mismatched human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and frequently results in CLAD and death. Recent multicenter studies using intensive monitoring for AMR report an incidence over 25%. Treatment for AMR has generally focused on antibody-depletion and prevention of additional antibody development. Various combinations have been used including high-dose corticosteroids, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), Rituximab, Carfilzomib, anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), and plasma exchange (PLEX). However, there have been no randomized controlled trials to guide management, and outcomes after AMR are dismal. One-year allograft survival after AMR is approximately 50%, and 2-year survival is only 20%. IL-6, initially identified as B-cell stimulating factor 2 (BSF-2), is a pleiotropic cytokine that drives deleterious inflammatory, alloimmune, and fibrogenic responses. In conjunction with other cytokines, IL-6 is responsible for normal antibody production and is critical for the induction of follicular helper T-cells as well as the production of IL-21 which regulates immunoglobulin synthesis. IL-6 is also crucial for B-cell differentiation into plasmablasts and for enhancing plasmablast survival. These characteristics make IL-6 an especially attractive cytokine to target in the management of AMR. Human studies examining the role of IL-6 signaling blockade in the management of AMR after kidney transplantation have shown promising results, even in refractory cases. We have used IL-6 signaling blockade in a very small number of lung transplant recipients with AMR at our center with encouraging results. Our principal hypothesis is that IL-6 signaling blockade added to routine immunosuppressive treatment for AMR would improve clinical outcomes. However, evaluating the safety of this approach is necessary before examining efficacy in larger clinical trials because infections are the most common serious adverse events associated with IL-6 signaling blockade and a common cause of death at all timepoints after lung transplantation. Thus, we propose a Phase 1 clinical trial using Siltuximab, a monoclonal antibody to IL-6, in addition to routine immunosuppressive therapy for AMR to examine safety and define the optimal dose for the treatment of AMR. The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability, and secondary endpoints include pharmacodynamics and functional biological measures relevant to AMR (e.g., DSA, cell-free DNA). Data from this trial will inform the design of a future Phase 2 clinical trial that assesses efficacy. Carefully designed and implemented clinical trials are necessary to improve outcomes after lung transplantation.
项目总结/摘要 肺移植后的长期结果仍然令人失望,中位生存期为6.7年。 慢性肺移植物功能障碍(CLAD)是肺移植术后一年以上死亡的主要原因。 移植抗体介导的排斥反应(AMR)在肺移植后越来越被认识到, 是由供者特异性抗体(DSA)引起的不匹配的人类白细胞抗原(HLA),并经常 导致CLAD和死亡。最近使用AMR强化监测的多中心研究报告了 超过25% AMR的治疗通常集中在抗体消耗和预防额外的抗体 发展已经使用了各种组合,包括高剂量皮质类固醇,静脉内免疫 免疫球蛋白(IVIG)、利妥昔单抗、卡非佐米、抗胸腺细胞球蛋白(ATG)和血浆置换(PLEX)。然而,在这方面, 目前还没有随机对照试验来指导治疗,AMR的结果也很糟糕。 AMR后1年移植物存活率约为50%,2年存活率仅为20%。IL-6,最初 被鉴定为B细胞刺激因子2(BSF-2),是一种多效性细胞因子, 同种免疫和纤维化反应。与其他细胞因子一起,IL-6负责正常的 抗体的产生,是诱导滤泡辅助性T细胞以及IL-21的产生的关键 调节免疫球蛋白的合成IL-6对于B细胞分化成浆母细胞和细胞因子表达也是至关重要的。 增强浆母细胞存活。这些特征使得IL-6成为一种特别有吸引力的靶向细胞因子, AMR的管理。检查IL-6信号传导阻断在治疗中的作用的人体研究 肾移植后的AMR显示出有希望的结果,即使在难治性病例中也是如此。我们使用IL-6 在我们的中心,在极少数患有AMR的肺移植受者中, 结果我们的主要假设是,IL-6信号传导阻断加常规免疫抑制治疗 将改善临床结果。然而,评估这种方法的安全性是必要的, 在大型临床试验中检查疗效,因为感染是最常见的严重不良事件 与IL-6信号传导阻断相关,是肺移植后所有时间点的常见死亡原因。 因此,我们提出了一项I期临床试验,除了常规的治疗外,还使用Siltuximab(一种IL-6的单克隆抗体)。 AMR的免疫抑制治疗,以检查安全性并确定治疗AMR的最佳剂量。 主要终点是安全性和耐受性,次要终点包括药效学和 与AMR相关的功能性生物学措施(例如,DSA,无细胞DNA)。本试验的数据将告知 设计未来的2期临床试验,评估疗效。精心设计和实施的临床试验 是改善肺移植后预后的必要条件。
