Brief Summary:
Immune-mediated lung injury plays a pivotal role in severe interstitial pnemumonia related to SARS-CoV2 infection. Tofacitinib, a JAK1/3-Inhibitor, could mitigate alveolar inflammation by blocking IL-6 signal. The aim of this prospective single cohort open study is to test the hypotesis that early administration of tofacitinib in patients with symptomatic pneumonia could reduce pulmonary flogosis, preventing function deterioration and the need of mechanical ventilation and/or admission in intensive care units.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
SARS-COv2 Related Interstitial Pneumonia Drug: Tofacitinib Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Interstitial Pneumonia is the main complication of SARS-CoV2 infection. Immune system hyperactivation, leading to alveolar inflammation, is the main mechanism in determining lung damage. Evidence are accumulating about the pivotal role played by IL-6 in this disease. Preliminary evidence, indeed, point out the efficacy of an IL-6 receptor inhibitor in improving clinical conditions in a proportion of rapidly deteriorating patients. Our hypotesis is that a precocious inhibition of IL-6 signal, by the administration of tofacitinib (JAK 1/3 Inhibitor), could hinder the progression to more severe grades of lung inflammation leading to pulmonary function deterioration. In a prospective single cohort open study, 50 patients admitted in Hospital due to SARS-CoV 2 symptomatic interstitial pneumonia, but not requiring mechanical ventilation, will be enrolled. Tofacitinb will be administered every day for 14 days, starting within 24 h from the admission. The primary outcome is to evaluate the effect of this drug on the rate of patients who will need mechanical ventilation. Safety in this population will also be actively monitored.
