About this trial

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Abatacept

    Drug

    Abatacept is a selective costimulation modulator, inhibiting T lymphocyte activation by binding to CD80 and CD86, thereby blocking interaction with CD28. Orencia solution supplied in a prefilled syringe should be refrigerated at 2C to 8C (36F to 46F). Orencia should not be used beyond the expiration date on the prefilled syringe. The product should be protected from light by storing in the original package until time of use. The prefilled syringe should not be frozen.

  • Placebo

    Other intervention

    The composition of the placebo for Orencia is the same as the active study drug without the abatacept. The placebo will be packaged and labeled as described above for the Orencia prefilled syringes. To maintain the blind, injection volumes will be the same as the active treatment.

Treatment groups

38 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: AbataceptExperimental treatment 1 intervention
