New hope for rare lung disease: JAK inhibitors vs standard care
NCT ID NCT07406932
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether JAK inhibitors work better than calcineurin inhibitors as the first treatment for lung scarring in people with antisynthetase syndrome. About 80 adults with active lung disease will be followed for 12 months to see which drug improves breathing and survival more. The goal is to give doctors clearer guidance on the best starting therapy.
