Brief Summary:
Nowadays, no single drug is approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). The medical management of this clinical condition is empirical and controversial. There is preliminary data that tofacitinib may have a beneficial effect in treating RA-ILD. Tofacitinib may have a double role in treating RA-ILD: treat RA disease activity and an anti-fibrotic possible impact. Moreover, tofacitinib may be used as monotherapy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) This is a phase IIa clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib in RA-ILD patients.
Detailed Description:
This is a phase 2 open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib in RA-ILD patients. Patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study protocol will receive tofacitinib 5 mg BID for 12 months.
Objectives
Primary objectives:
1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib 5 mg PO BID as monotherapy for managing RA-ILD in RA-ILD patients.
2. To evaluate the pulmonary function of patients treated with tofacitinib PO BID as monotherapy to manage RA-ILD in RA-ILD patients, at baseline, at three months of follow-up, at six months of follow-up, and one year of follow-up.
3. To estimate the efficacy of tofacitinib 5 mg PO BID as monotherapy for the management of RA-ILD, in RA-ILD patients, at three months of follow-up, at six months of follow-up, and at one year of follow-up, according to the ACR 20, 50, 70 response criteria, and the following disease activity scores index: DAS 28, CDAI and SDAI.
All the included patients will receive Tofacitinib in doses of 5 mg BID until the end of the protocol.
