PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cytheris SA, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on research and development of new therapies for immune modulation, today announced the initiation of a Phase I/IIa dose escalation study of patients suffering from idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL). ICL is a rare, orphan disease characterized by abnormally low CD4 T cell counts without evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or HIV-2) infection. The trial is a further investigation of Cytheris’ promising investigative immunotherapy, CYT107 (recombinant human interlukin-7, or IL-7), already the subject of six other studies for different indications.
