New drug aims to fix Immunotherapy's blood problems in lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07303881
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests the drug golidocitinib in 16 people with advanced lung cancer who have severe blood problems caused by immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the drug can safely improve blood counts and reduce symptoms. Participants take the drug until their blood levels recover, for up to 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- golidocitinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for lung cancer patients who develop severe blood problems from immunotherapy, helping them recover without stopping cancer treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work or could cause side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able to provide a signed and dated informed consent form, including compliance with the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and the requirements and limitations listed in this protocol. 2. The subject is ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the ICF. 3. Has not experienced disease progression in the past two weeks and has a Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2, with a predicted survival of ≥12 weeks. 4. Pathologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (American Joint Committee on Cancer, AJCC 8th edition IIIB and IIIC stages) or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer, or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (AJCC 8th edition TNM staging of lung cancer stage IV, or T3-4 disease caused by multiple pulmonary nodules with excessive disease spread, or tumor/nodule size too large for a tolerable radiation therapy plan). 5. Patients confirmed by an accredited local laboratory to lack any therapeutically targeted driver gene mutations, i.e., driver gene-negative subjects. 6. Patients experiencing grade ≥3 refractory hematologic toxicity (white blood cell count \<2.0 × 10⁹/L or/and absolute neutrophil count \<1.0 × 10⁹/L or/and platelet count \<50 × 10⁹/L or/and hemoglobin \<8.0 g/dL, specific hematologic parameters are detailed in Appendix D), during treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (including monotherapy or combination therapy), and the toxicity is considered to be immune-related. Refractory toxicity is defined in two main ways: ① Resistance to conventional treatment: No significant improvement in hematologic toxicity after at least 3 days of supportive care including the use of hormones (e.g., methylprednisolone ≥1 mg/kg/d), hematopoietic growth factors (e.g., G-CSF, TPO), and/or blood transfusions; ② Positive antinuclear antibody profile indicating anti-SSA antibodies and/or Ro52 antibodies, suggesting an immune-mediated mechanism. 7. Patients with brain metastases must be asymptomatic or have been treated and have stable disease after discontinuation of steroids and anticonvulsants. Patients suspected of having brain metastases at screening should undergo brain CT/MRI before study enrollment. 8. At least one measurable lesion (as defined in RECIST 1.1): a lesion that has not undergone radiotherapy, has a long diameter ≥10 mm (short diameter ≥15 mm for lymph node lesions), and can be accurately and repeatedly measured from baseline on CT or MRI; and a measurable lesion outside the central nervous system. 9. Adequate organ system functional reserve, summarized as follows: * Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; if Gilbert's syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) is present, total bilirubin should be ≤3×ULN. * ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN. For patients with documented liver metastases, AST and ALT levels ≤5×ULN. * Creatinine clearance, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault method, \>60 ml/min for patients treated with cisplatin and \>45 ml/min for patients treated with carboplatin. * Urinalysis shows less than 2+ protein in urine, or 24-hour urine protein quantification \<1g. * Good coagulation function, defined as International Normalized Ratio (INR) and/or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 times the ULN and/or Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤1.5 of the upper limit of normal; if the subject is receiving anticoagulation therapy, PT is acceptable as long as it is within the range intended for use with the anticoagulant. * Serum amylase ≤1.5 times the ULN and/or serum lipase ≤1.5 times the ULN. * Echocardiography (ECHO) shows a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥55%. 10. Women of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) must undergo a urine and/or serum pregnancy test (if the urine test cannot confirm a negative result) within 7 days prior to the first dose of the study drug, and the result must be negative; WOCBP or male subjects and their WOCBP partners should agree to use effective contraception from the signing of the ICF until 6 months after the last dose of the study drug. k. Participants should be able to understand the study protocol and voluntarily comply with the study and follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: a. An active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (e.g., use of disease-modifying medications, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants) within 2 years prior to the first dose. Replacement therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) are not considered systemic treatment. b. Prior to the first dose, any other form of immunosuppressive therapy other than corticosteroids (e.g., TNF-α inhibitors, mycophenolate mofetil, gamma globulin, rituximab, other JAK inhibitors, etc.) was received for hematologic toxicity. c. Spinal cord compression or meningeal metastases are present. d. Any of the following medical histories: * Currently participating in an interventional clinical trial, or having received other investigational drugs or used investigational devices within 4 weeks prior to the first dose; any drug still in development requires a 5-half-life washout (or discussion with the research team); * Underwent major surgery (excluding diagnostic or biopsy, excluding vascular access) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, or is expected to undergo major surgery during the study; * Received palliative radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose; * Have experienced a serious arterial/venous thrombotic event within 6 months prior to the first dose, including cerebrovascular accidents (e.g., history of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism; * Currently receiving (or unable to discontinue at least 1 week prior to the first dose) any known potent inducer or inhibitor of CYP3A, herbal supplements, or foods; * Have experienced a grade CTCAE \> 1 adverse event (excluding any degree of alopecia and hematologic toxicity) due to prior treatment prior to the first dose. e. Has received a solid organ or blood system transplant (e.g., a previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant). f. Has a history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring corticosteroid therapy, or currently has active interstitial lung disease (including interstitial lung changes), or immune-mediated pneumonitis caused by immunotherapy. g. Has been diagnosed with another malignancy within 5 years prior to the first dose, excluding clinically cured basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and/or radically resected carcinoma in situ. h. Has received a live vaccine, including attenuated live vaccines, excluding inactivated vaccines, within 30 days prior to the first dose. i. Has known active tuberculosis, such as a positive tuberculin (PPD) test (induration diameter \> 10 mm), a positive T-SPOT test, tuberculous lesions on chest X-ray/CT, or other positive results found according to routine clinical screening (excluding those cured by investigator assessment after standard anti-tuberculosis treatment). j. Subjects with pre-existing, uncontrollable severe infectious diseases must be excluded. If an infectious disease occurred within two months prior to the first dose, its control must be assessed by the research team to determine eligibility for enrollment. k. Subjects with active infections, including but not limited to hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (see table below), and active COVID-19 infection (determined by the investigator to be clinically significant, with signs or symptoms). COVID-19 testing will be based on local practice. l. Meeting any of the following cardiac criteria: * Congestive heart failure (CHF) classified as \>II by the New York Heart Association (NYHA); * Clinically significant valvular heart disease, hypertrophic or constrictive cardiomyopathy; * Any clinically significant abnormality on resting ECG, such as complete left bundle branch block, second/third-degree atrioventricular block, or PR interval \>250 msec; * Average calibrated QTcF \>470 msec on three resting ECGs during the screening period; * Any factor that could increase the risk of QT interval prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, or a first-degree relative with long QT syndrome or a family history of unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age, or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval); * Ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment; * An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the onset of unstable angina, or a new onset of angina within 6 months prior to administration. m. Hypersensitivity to the study drug or any component thereof. n. Intractable nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, difficulty swallowing medication, intestinal obstruction, or a history of bowel resection that may prevent adequate absorption of the study drug. o. Pregnancy or lactation. p. Known bleeding diathesis, i.e., hemophilia or von Willebrand disease. q. Investigator assessment indicating a serious or uncontrolled systemic disease (including poorly controlled hypertension and bleeding disorders) that precludes participation in the clinical study or may lead to poor adherence.
