Diagnosed as immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related myocarditis according to the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Myocarditis" in 2023 [11-12]. 4. Diagnosed as glucocorticoid-resistant ICI-related myocarditis according to the "2022 ESC Guidelines on Cardio-Oncology" [8]: after receiving at least 3 days of standard-dose glucocorticoid treatment, any of the following occurs: (1) no significant reduction in cTn (reduction less than 50% of the peak value); (2) atrioventricular block, ventricular arrhythmia or left ventricular dysfunction persists. 5. No absolute contraindications to glucocorticoid treatment. 6. No absolute contraindications to tofacitinib treatment. 7. Able to comply with the protocol during the study period. 8. Provide written informed consent before entering the study, and the patient has been informed that they can withdraw from the study at any time without any loss. 9. Women of childbearing age must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment and must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures during the study and for at least 120 days after the last dose (including tofacitinib and glucocorticoids). 10. Unsterilized men must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures during the study and for at least 120 days after the last dose.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior treatment with tofaciib or any other JAK inhibitor. 2. Patients with active autoimmune disease or who have a history of autoimmune disease but may relapse. 3. Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding within the first two weeks of enrollment, or those with high blood risk judged by the investigators. 4. There are uncontrollable systemic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, etc. 5. Severe chronic or active infections that require systemic antibiotics, antifungal drugs, or antiviral treatment, including tuberculosis, HIV infection, etc. 6.
