Efficacy and Safety of Baricitinib in the Post-intracerebral Hemorrhage Pulmonary Injury
Sponsor: Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
Summary
Some patients with intracerebral hemorrhage will develop severe lung injury such as respiratory distress syndrome. Baricitinib has been approved by the FDA for severe pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, and has been used in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Baricitinib significantly reduced the risk of death and shortened the length of stay in COVID-19 patients. According to clinical observations, there was no significant increase in deaths or infections due to non-COVID-19 causes during recovery, nor was there a significant increase in thrombosis. Excessive inflammatory factors release can cause inflammatory storms that damage lung cells, lead to lung injury, and eventually lead to respiratory failure, respiratory distress syndrome and other conditions, endangering life safety. Studies have shown that Baricitinib can inhibit the production of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines by lung macrophages through the JAK pathway and reduce lung injury caused by inflammatory storms. Therefore, in patients with acute stroke with lung infection or severe lung injury, short-term use of baricitinib will help to reduce lung injury and promote the recovery of neurological function, and shorten the length of hospital stay. However, there is currently a lack of effective clinical evidence of baricitinib in the treatment of lung injury after intracerebral hemorrhage, and further research is needed.
