First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase II study tested whether low doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) can safely boost regulatory T cells in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 36 participants received either IL-2 or a placebo for five days. The goal was to see if this immune-modulating approach could help control the disease, not cure it.
