Study summary

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an essential cytokine for T-cell proliferation. Low-dose IL-2 has been shown to increase the proportion of regulatory T cells (Tregs), negatively regulate effector T cells such as Th17 and Tfh cells, and improve the peripheral Treg/Th17 balance, thus restoring immune homeostasis. Studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between the Th17/Treg ratio and the severity of various autoimmune diseases. Clinically, low-dose IL-2 has been successfully used in the treatment of diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome. However, the efficacy and safety of IL-2 in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remain unknown. This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety and biological efficacy of IL-2 in treating NMOSD.
