Brief summary

The purpose of this randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in hospitalized adult (18-99 years old) patients with SARS-CoV-2 and pneumonia who require supplemental oxygen and have serologic markers of inflammation but do not need mechanical ventilation.

Detailed description

The purpose of this randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled Phase 2b study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in hospitalized adult (18-99 years old) male and female patients with SARS-CoV-2 and pneumonia who require supplemental oxygen and have serologic markers of inflammation but do not need mechanical ventilation (see Inclusion criteria). Sixty patients will be recruited to receive tofacitinib or placebo in addition to standard of care (SOC) in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects will be screened during hospitalization. Patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, and meeting all other Inclusion and Exclusion criteria, will be randomized to either treatment with tofacitinib or placebo in addition to SOC during hospitalization (dose adjusted, if required), with the exception of pre-specified immunomodulatory agents (as documented in the inclusion/exclusion criteria). Tofacitinib will be administered in a dose of 10 mg PO BID until return to their clinical baseline (as defined by need for supplementary oxygen), and will continue to be administered at 5 mg PO BID for a total duration of therapy of 14 days; follow-up off tofacitinib will continue up to Day 90. We anticipate completion of subject recruitment in 6 months.

Interventions

Tofacitinib will be administered in a dose of 10 mg twice daily by mouth (PO BID) until return to their clinical baseline (as defined by supplementary oxygen requirement), and then will continue to be administered at 5 mg PO BID for a total treatment duration of 14 days.

DRUGPlacebo

Matching placebo tablets will be administered.
