Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-arm pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in cancer patients with immune-related colitis from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary objective and endpoint • Efficacy of tofacitinib in inducing clinical remission of immune related colitis, as measured by the proportion of patients who experience diarrhea resolution to grade ≤1 as per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] v5.0) without the requirement for additional immunosuppression (e.g., corticosteroids, biologics, or other immunosuppressors targeted for colitis) 8 weeks post-first dose of tofacitinib. Secondary objectives and endpoints: - Safety of tofacitinib in cancer patients with immune-related colitis, as defined by the occurrence of adverse events grade ≥3. - Efficacy of tofacitinib in cancer patients with immune colitis as defined by endoscopic remission of colitis (a total Mayo score of ≤2) at 8 weeks. - Efficacy of tofacitinib to induce a clinical remission of immune-related colitis as measured by the time, in days, necessary to achieve a diarrhea of grade ≤ 1 (as per CTCAE v 5.0). - Number of patients with tumor progression at 8 weeks per iRECIST and RECIST 1.1 criteria compared to baseline scans. Exploratory objective • The study will collect blood samples from participants seeking to characterize the inflammatory landscape of ICI-mediated colitis and biomarkers predictive of response to tofacitinib. ;
