Overview

This combination therapy consists of **ruxolitinib**, a small molecule Janus kinase (JAK) 1 and 2 inhibitor, and standard-of-care **corticosteroids** (such as prednisone or methylprednisolone). It is being investigated by **Peking Union Medical College Hospital** for the management of severe (Grade 3-4) **checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP)**, a potentially fatal immune-related adverse event (irAE) occurring in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Ruxolitinib specifically targets the JAK-STAT signaling pathway to block the downstream effects of inflammatory cytokines, while corticosteroids provide broad, non-specific immunosuppression. The clinical trial aims to determine if the addition of ruxolitinib to standard steroid therapy can improve clinical outcomes, reduce the total corticosteroid dose required, and provide a therapeutic option for patients who are refractory to steroids alone.
