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

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

IBM patients treated by ruxolitinib (JAKAVI®), 15mg per os, twice a day, during 12 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Age45 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

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
