IL-2 Plus Abatacept in Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD)
This study is looking into a new approach for Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), a condition affecting brain function. Researchers believe that inflammation in the brain plays a role in FTD. They are testing if a combination of two drugs, abatacept and aldesleukin (a low dose of interleukin-2 or IL-2), can help by improving the body's immune response. Specifically, they hope these drugs can restore certain immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) that may not be working well in FTD patients. The main goal of this study is to see if this treatment is safe and well-tolerated over a 6-month period. They plan to enroll about 10 participants between 18 and 86 years old who have been diagnosed with probable FTD. If you are on medications that affect thinking or behavior, you must be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before starting and throughout the study.
