What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tested the drug tofacitinib (Xeljanz) in 10 adults with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) who had ongoing inflammation in the gut, skin, or lungs. Participants took the pill daily for 3 months to see if it was safe and could help control symptoms. The goal was to find a better option for people who don't respond well to current treatments.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tofacitinib (Xeljanz)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with chronic granulomatous disease who have ongoing inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Tofacitinib can increase infection risk, which is especially concerning for people with CGD.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Aged \>=18 years. 2. Enrolled on NIH study 93-I-0119. 3. Has a documented diagnosis of one or more of the following and is not controlled under current therapy (per investigator assessment): 1. Endoscopically diagnosed mild-to-severe CGD-related IBD. 2. Radiographic or PFT changes (DLCO\<60%, FEV1\<70%) consistent with CGD-related inflammatory lung disease. 3. Any inflammatory skin disease related to CGD (eg, hidradenitis suppurativa or granulomatous skin disease). 4. Able to provide informed consent. 5. Participants who can become pregnant or who can impregnate their partner must agree to use at least one highly effective method of contraception when engaging in sexual activities that can result in pregnancy, starting at the first dose of tofacitinib until 2 days after the last dose. Highly effective methods include a barrier (eg, condom, diaphragm, cervical cap), intrauterine device, or hormonal contraception. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the tofacitinib formulation. 2. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the acyclovir or valacyclovir formulation. 3. Active or latent tuberculosis. 4. Infection with hepatitis B or C, or HIV. 5. Active EBV infection. 6. History of GI perforation. 7. History of malignancy (except for nonmelanoma skin cancer). 8. Concomitant use of acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs that cannot be safely discontinued. 9. History of connective tissue disease. 10. End-stage renal disease or chronic kidney disease, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<15 mL/min/1.73 m\^2. 11. Evidence of other invasive or systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infections requiring therapy. 12. Pregnant. 13. Breastfeeding. 14. Current use of inhaled tobacco products, vaping products, inhaled cannabis, or other illicit inhaled drugs. 15. Current use of strong CYP3A4 inducer and unable to discontinue at least 14 days before beginning of tofacitinib regimen. 16. Concomitant medical condition that could interfere with study drug evaluation or that is a contraindication to the proposed investigational treatment based upon known agent safety profile or toxicities. 17. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities: 1. Alkaline phosphatase and either ALT or AST \>2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). 2. Serum creatinine level \>5 mg/dL. 3. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<1000 cells/microL. 4. Lymphocyte count \<500 cells/microL. 18. History of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other thrombotic events. 19. History of heart failure. 20. Current immobilization, ie, bed-bound and unable to ambulate. 21. Exposure to any investigational agent within the last 4 weeks. 22. Any other finding that, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere with, or serve as a contraindication to, protocol adherence, assessment of safety or reactogenicity, or a participant s ability to give informed consent, or increase the risk of having an adverse outcome from participating in the study.
