Can a JAK inhibitor halt rapid lung decline?
NCT ID NCT07737249
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the JAK inhibitor golidocitinib to standard high-dose steroids can improve lung function in people with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Participants receive either golidocitinib plus steroids or steroids plus other immunosuppressants for 12 weeks. The study measures changes in lung function, oxygen levels, chest CT scans, and safety outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- golidocitinib plus corticosteroid
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with rapidly worsening interstitial lung disease, potentially improving lung function and survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. JAK inhibitors carry risks of infection and other side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Meet the diagnostic criteria for rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) and require treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, defined as: Acute worsening of cough and dyspnea occurring within 1 month; Chest CT showing ILD manifestations with new or worsening exudative lesions (ground-glass opacities and/or consolidation); Presence of respiratory failure (PaO₂ \< 60 mmHg at rest without oxygen supplementation, or SpO₂ \< 90% on room air), or significant worsening of hypoxemia (a decrease in PaO₂ of ≥ 10 mmHg), or a clear decline in two recent pulmonary function tests: a decrease in FVC % predicted of ≥ 10% and/or a decrease in DLCO % predicted of ≥ 15% accompanied by a decline in FVC; Exclusion of heart failure or fluid overload, pulmonary infectious diseases, and pulmonary embolism * No prior treatment with JAK inhibitors * Able to comply with scheduled follow-up visits * Patient and family members understand the study protocol, are willing to participate, and are able to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * The patient or family members are unable to understand the conditions and objectives of this study, or are unable to provide informed consent * Subjects who are unable to comply with the follow-up schedule as required by the protocol, including those who cannot cooperate with pulmonary function testing * Presence of other severe diseases that, in the investigator's opinion, may affect patient safety or compliance * Any significant clinical or laboratory abnormalities that, in the investigator's opinion, may affect the safety evaluation * Oxygenation index ≤ 100, and/or requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support * Pregnant or lactating women, as well as patients who are unable to use effective contraception during the study period and within 3 months after the end of the study * Presence of contraindications to golidocitinib administration, including a history of allergy to relevant drugs, or presence of active and uncontrolled infections, such as evidence of HIV, HBV (HBsAg-positive, HBV-DNA-positive or ≥ 1000 copies/mL), HCV (anti-HCV antibody-positive or HCV-RNA-positive), or any symptomatic bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal infection requiring treatment * Need for concomitant use of acetaminophen or propacetamol, or preparations containing these ingredients
