NCT ID NCT06715982

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether JAK inhibitors can safely and effectively treat severe skin rashes caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients. The goal is to relieve symptoms without using steroids, which can weaken the anti-cancer effect of immunotherapy. The study will enroll 35 adults with solid tumors who have developed grade 3-4 dermatitis from their cancer treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

JAK inhibitor (upadacitinib)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a steroid-free way to manage severe skin rashes caused by immunotherapy, potentially allowing patients to continue cancer treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 35 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. JAK inhibitors also carry risks like infection and blood clots.
