Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a phase 1b/2a clinical trial to assess the safety and the efficacy of LD SC IL-2 for the treatment of CD utilizing daily sc LD IL-2 for 8 weeks in CD patients to determine the maximum effective dose (MED) and safety profile, and to assess a signal of efficacy. We aim to determine in CD patients whether sc LD IL-2 modulates peripheral blood and lamina propria Tregs in vivo and correlates with clinical outcome. We will perform deep immunophenotyping in CD patients treated with LD IL-2 and comprehensively assess the effects of LD IL-2 on CD4+ Tregs and other immune cells in both peripheral and mucosal compartments, and correlate changes in immune phenotype with clinical outcome. Overall this trial is designed to determine the MED and safety profile of LD IL-2 in CD, to obtain a signal of efficacy, and to assess mechanistic underpinnings.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Interleukin-2
Study drug: Interleukin-2 (aldesleukin, Proleukin, IL-2).
Each subject will receive an 8-week course of once-daily, subcutaneously administered IL-2. There will be two dose cohorts. Each subject will be recruited into a single dose cohort and receive a single dose level of IL-2 throughout the study.
The dose levels will be as follows:
Cohort 1: 1.0x10\^6 IU/m\^2/day. Cohort 2: 1.25x10\^6 IU/m\^2/day.
Interleukin-2 (aldesleukin).

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. A diagnosis of CD made by standard clinical, radiological, endoscopic and histological criteria.
a. A subset of patients with Ileostomies or colostomies will be permitted.
3. Adult subjects with moderate-to-severe CD (CDAI score 220-450)
a. a modified CDAI will be used to assess patients with ileostomies/colostomies. Number of liquid stools per day will be substituted for number of bag empties per day.
4. Evidence of endoscopic inflammation accessible via ileocolonoscopy or ileoscopy
1. Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD) ≥ 6 or ≥ 4 for isolated ileal disease
2. patients with ileostomies will be assessed as patients with isolated ileal disease via SES-CD.
5. Failure to tolerate or failure to respond to at least one conventional therapy with the intention of inducing or maintaining remission (including but not limited to oral corticosteroids, oral 5-aminosalicylates, azathioprine and/or 6-mercaptopurine, TNF alpha antagonist, anti-integrins, ustekinumab). Corticosteroid dependency (inability to taper oral corticosteroids without a recurrence of disease activity) is also included in this category.
6. Stable doses of concomitant medications, as defined in Section 5
7. A negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to anticipated commencement of the study drug, in female subjects of child-bearing age. Men and women of reproductive potential must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control during treatment and for six months after completion of treatment.
8. The ability of adult participants who are able to make their own healthcare decisions to provide informed consent or the ability of a legal guardian to provide consent if the participant is a child (less than 18 years of age) or has mild intellectual disability and cannot consent for him or herself. In the event that a legal guardian provides consent, the study participant must be able to demonstrate an understanding of the study at his or her comprehension level and must have the ability to give verbal assent. If the legal guardian is court appointed, then the legal guardian must be able to provide documentation of court appointed guardianship.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Requirement for immediate surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention for perforation, sepsis, or intra-abdominal or perianal abscess.
3. History of colorectal cancer or dysplasia.
4. Positive stool test for Clostridium difficile via GDH/EIA two step testing method. PCR only testing will not be accepted. If patient is GDH positive and EIA negative, enrollment will be permitted.
5. Current medically significant infection.
6. Significant laboratory abnormalities;
1. Hb \< 7.0 g/dL, WBC \< 2.5 x 103/mm3, Plt \< 50 x 103/mm3.
2. Creatinine ≥ 2x institutional ULN.
3. Total bilirubin \> 2.0 mg/dL, ALT \> 2x institutional ULN. Elevated unconjugated bilirubin related to Gilbert's syndrome is allowed.
4. Abnormal thyroid function tests.
7. Positive serology for HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
8. Positive screening test for tuberculosis (TB).
9. Treatment with any biologic medication within 4 weeks of first study drug dose (baseline) (see below section on washouts)
10. Received another IND within 5 half-lives of that agent baseline.
11. Malignancy within the last 5 years, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.
12. Allergy to any component of the study drug.
13. Pregnant or lactating women.
14. Inability to comply with the study protocol or inability of the subject or the subject's legal guardian to provide informed consent.
15. Prior exposure to IL-2.
16. Uncontrolled cardiac angina or symptomatic congestive cardiac failure (NYHA Class III or IV).
