Brief Title: Itacitinib for the Treatment Steroid Refractory Immune Related Adverse Events Arising From Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Itacitinib in Patients With Steroid Refractory Immune Related Adverse Events Arising From Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Study ID: NCT05660421
Brief Summary: This phase II trial tests how well itacitinib works in in patients with immune related adverse events (irAEs) arising from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that do not respond to steroids (steroid refractory). Steroids are the usual treatment for these side effects. However, sometimes steroids do not improve or fix the side effects. Giving itacitinib may be effective in treating patients with known or suspected problems coming from ICIs, that do not resolve or improve with steroids, by reducing the patients immune system response that can cause the irAEs.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To define the rate of improvement of steroid-refractory immune related adverse events (irAEs) in patients treated with ICI at 28 days. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To define whether anti-tumor activity is preserved (response rate, progression free survival \[PFS\], T cell populations and function in the tumor). II. To assess freedom from hospitalization and any grade improvement at 14 and 28 days. III. To assess rate of therapy escalation (increased dose of steroids, other immunosuppressant) by day 60 follow up. IV. To define cancer-specific and toxicity-specific survival at 6 months. V. To define the rate of improvement of steroid-refractory irAEs in patients treated with ICI at any time, and at 60 days (defined as improvement to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] Grade 0-1). VI. To define the proportion of patients able to be tapered off steroids at Day 29 and at Day 30 follow up. VII. To define the safety of itacitinib in patients with steroid-refractory irAEs. OUTLINE: Patients receive itacitinib orally (PO) and corticosteroids PO or intravenously (IV) on study. Patients may undergo endoscopy and skin biopsy throughout the study. Patients also undergo blood collection throughout the study.
