Abatacept for the Treatment of Common Variable Immunodeficiency With Interstitial Lung Disease
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Summary
There is no standard of care therapy for patients with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) seen in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Abatacept has recently looked promising for the treatment of patients with complex CVID. This study is a multi-site, phase II, randomized, blinded/placebo-controlled clinical trial in pediatric and adult subjects to determine the efficacy of abatacept compared to placebo for treatment of subjects with GLILD in the context of CVID.

Description
There is no standard of care therapy for patients with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) seen in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Abatacept is a recombinant, human fusion protein of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and human IgG1 that blocks T cell activation by binding to CD80 and CD86, thereby blocking CD28 engagement- the "second signal" needed for T cell activation. Abatacept has recently looked promising for the treatment of patients with complex CVID. This study is a multi-site, phase II, randomized, blinded/placebo-controlled clinic…
