Abstract

Introduction

This expanded access program (EAP) provided ruxolitinib (oral, selective Janus kinase [JAK]1/JAK2 inhibitor) for emergency treatment of COVID-19–associated cytokine storm in patients eligible for hospitalization (NCT04355793).

Methods

Patients received ruxolitinib 5 mg twice daily (preferred regimen when tolerated) or once daily for ≤ 14 days, or until determination of no clinical benefit was made. Outcomes were clinical status, physician-assessed clinical benefit, and serious adverse event (SAE) incidence.

Results

Of 312 patients, 45.5% achieved ≥ 1-point clinical status improvement. Physician-assessed clinical benefit was reported in 42.6% of evaluable patients. SAEs occurred in 42.9%, with 2.6% experiencing an SAE suspected to be ruxolitinib related.

Conclusions

Overall, some hospitalized patients with COVID-19–associated cytokine storm who received ruxolitinib experienced clinical status improvement; ruxolitinib was well tolerated.

Ruxolitinib用于covid -19相关细胞因子风暴的紧急治疗：来自扩大准入研究的发现

该扩大准入计划（EAP）为符合住院条件的患者提供ruxolitinib（口服，选择性Janus激酶[JAK]1/JAK2抑制剂）用于covid -19相关细胞因子风暴的紧急治疗（NCT04355793）。方法患者服用ruxolitinib 5 mg，每日2次（耐受时首选方案）或每日1次，疗程≤14天，或直至无临床获益。结果包括临床状态、医生评估的临床获益和严重不良事件（SAE）发生率。结果312例患者中，45.5%的患者临床状态改善≥1点。42.6%的可评估患者报告了经医生评估的临床获益。42.9%发生SAE，其中2.6%发生疑似与鲁索利替尼相关的SAE。结论总体而言，部分新冠肺炎相关细胞因子风暴住院患者接受鲁索利替尼治疗后，临床状况有所改善；Ruxolitinib耐受性良好。试验注册ClinicalTrials.gov标识符：NCT04355793
