Safety and Efficacy of Tofacitinib for Chronic Granulomatous Disease With Inflammatory Complications
Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Summary
Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a disease of the immune system, which is how the body fights germs. People with CGD get infections easily and have other health problems. Some medicines to treat CGD have a lot of side effects and do not always work. Researchers want to see if a new drug can help. Objective: To see if tofacitinib is safe to use for treating chronic CGD. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with CGD who have not had success with other treatments and who are enrolled on NIH study # 93-I-0119. Design: Participants will be screened with the following: Physical exam Medical history Blood, urine, and stool tests Pregnancy test, if needed An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and/or colonoscopy, if needed for their symptoms. Tissue samples will be collected. Skin assessment, if needed Participants will repeat some screening tests at visits. Participants will complete questionnaires about their general health and how CGD affects their daily life. Photographs will be taken of their skin, if needed. They will have lung function tests, if needed. They will have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, if needed. A CT scan uses X-rays to create pictures of the inside of the body. Participants will gradually reduce the amount of some CGD medicines they take. Then they will take tofacitinib as a pill twice a day or once a day for 3 months. They will keep a drug diary. They will have monthly study visits. They will have a follow-up visit about 1 month after their last study drug visit. Participation will last for about 6 months.
