Leniolisib for Primary Immunodeficiency
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines the long-term safety and effects of leniolisib, a medication for individuals with certain primary immunodeficiency disorders. These disorders relate to a specific part of the immune system known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta signaling. The trial targets patients who participated in a previous leniolisib study and could benefit from continued treatment. Ideal candidates are those who took part in the earlier study and are expected to benefit from ongoing leniolisib therapy. As a Phase 2 trial, it measures the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, allowing participants to contribute to important research.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
You may need to stop taking certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you should not use certain immunosuppressive drugs, strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A, or medications that affect specific proteins like BCRP and OATP1B1/1B3. Check with the study team to see if your current medications are affected.
Is there any evidence suggesting that leniolisib is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that leniolisib is generally safe for people with primary immunodeficiency. In earlier studies, side effects were mild or moderate, with no serious side effects linked to the drug. One study found that leniolisib was well-tolerated over 12 weeks and achieved important treatment goals. Additionally, safety data from eight months of use support its safety. These findings suggest leniolisib is relatively safe for humans.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Leniolisib is unique because it targets a specific enzyme called phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ), which plays a crucial role in immune cell function. Unlike other treatments for primary immunodeficiency that might broadly suppress the immune system, leniolisib offers a more targeted approach, potentially reducing side effects. Researchers are excited about leniolisib because it promises to improve immune function by fine-tuning the immune response, rather than dampening it across the board. This precision could lead to better management of the condition with fewer complications.
What evidence suggests that leniolisib might be an effective treatment for primary immunodeficiency?
Research shows that leniolisib may help treat certain immune system disorders related to a specific cell signaling pathway. Studies have found that leniolisib significantly lowers infection rates in patients, regardless of their past infection history. It also reduces swollen lymph nodes and increases the number of a type of immune cell important for a healthy immune response. Overall, leniolisib has demonstrated better results than placebo treatments in these areas.14678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders related to PI3K delta signaling who were previously in the leniolisib study LE 7201. It aims to continue treatment and further evaluate safety and effectiveness.Inclusion Criteria
