Immunologic Alterations Associated With Oral Delivery of Anti-CD3 (OKT3) Monoclonal Antibodies in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Ulcerative Colitis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study was to determine the immunologic effects and safety of oral anti-CD3 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods

An open-label pilot study of orally delivered anti-CD3 was performed in patients with moderate-to-severe UC. The primary end points were changes in immunologic parameters and evaluation for safety.

Results

Six subjects received oral OKT3. Biologic effects of oral anti-CD3 included significantly increased proliferation in response to anti-CD3 and anti-inflammatory gene expression profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. No serious treatment-related adverse events occurred.

Conclusion

Orally delivered anti-CD3 resulted in immunologic changes in patients with UC.
