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.
