CUG252 is a potential best-in-class engineered IL-2 compound, designed to have improved Treg selectivity while reducing undesired IL-2 activity.~This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunologic effects of CUG252 following subcutaneous administration of multiple ascending doses in participants with mild-to-moderate SLE. The effects of SLE disease activity and biomarkers will also be evaluated.. The SLE participants will receive randomized multiple subcutaneous doses of CUG252 or placebo. After receiving the last dose of CUG252 or placebo, participants will be followed to study day 64 post first dose administration to evaluate safety, PK, PD and preliminary efficacy.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CUG252 following multiple ascending doses in participants with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
