Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
6 minutes-walk distance (6MWT): A distance walked in 6 min. superior in treated patients compared to placebo group
The 6MWT is performed in a corridor, between two cones separated by a distance of 25 m.
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Adverse events (safety and tolerability) of ruxolitinib in IBM patients
Through study completion that is to say 15 months
Therapeutic muscular efficacy of ruxolitinib on muscle strength
Until last consultation that is to say 12 months
Therapeutic muscular efficacy of ruxolitinib on overall muscle status
Until last consultation that is to say 12 months
Respiratory ability
12 months
Evaluate swallowing using Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ)
12 months
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Experimental group
EXPERIMENTALRandomization in experimental group.
Control group
PLACEBO COMPARATORRandomization in control group.
Interventions
IBM patients treated by ruxolitinib (JAKAVI®), 15mg per os, twice a day, during 12 months.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 45 years
- Effective contraception for the duration of the clinical trial for fertile women of childbearing age
- Defined diagnosis of IBM according to data-derived criteria (Llyod et al, 2014): Patient must fulfill the three following criteria for being diagnosed as IBM: (1) finger flexor or quadriceps weakness; and (2) muscle biopsy showing endomysial inflammation; and (3) muscle biopsy showing invasion of nonnecrotic muscle fibers or rimmed vacuoles
- To be able to walk 6 min without assistance from another person (external assist devices permitted \[e.g., canes, walkers, or rollators\])
- Patient informed and having signed the consent for participation, possibly assisted by a trusted person
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Patient under guardianship, curatorship, safeguard of justice or deprived of liberty
- Patient with cognitive disorders or unable, according to the investigator, to understand the study and/or to give informed consent
- Quadriceps weakness (manual muscle testing, MRC) below or equal 1
- Forced vital capacity (FVC) or forced expiratory volume (FEV) \< 50% of predicted value
- Concomitant use of immunomodulatory drugs including previous treatment with JAK inhibitor, or medications acting on muscle anabolism or catabolism
- Live vaccine within the 4 weeks before starting treatment
- Comorbidity or active chronic disease which contraindicate ruxolitinib:
- Lipid parameters abnormalities/elevations
- Severe renal impairment (stage 4) and end-stage renal disease (stage 5)
- Hepatic impairment
- Cytopenia
- Recent history (\<6 months) of cardiovascular or thromboembolic disease (documented coronaropathy or hospitalization for acute arterial thrombosis or stroke or deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism)
- Active smoking more than 20 pack-years or history of respiratory or skin cancer or recent history (\<6 months) of other neoplastic disease
- Very high cardiovascular risk (red color) at SCORE 2 in case of recent history (\<6 months) of cardiovascular or thromboembolic disease and non-controlled cardiovascular risk factors
- +8 more criteria
