About This Trial

Background: Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), also called Job syndrome, is a genetic disorder that affects the immune system. It can cause skin and lung infections and problems with blood vessels, connective tissues, and bones. People with HIES often have lupus-like disease or atopic dermatitis (skin rash). Researchers want to know if a drug approved to treat other immune system diseases (baricitinib) can help people with HIES. Objective: To test baricitinib in people with HIES with lupus-like disease or skin rash. Eligibility: People aged 12 years and older with HIES with lupus-like disease or skin rash. Design: Participants will have 5 clinic visits, 4 remote visits, and 2 phone visits in 9 months. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of the speed and pressure of blood flow through their body: Blood pressure cuffs will be placed on each arm and leg; electrodes will be placed on the wrists and a microphone on the chest. The study has a 3-month lead-in period. Participants will not take the study drug during this time. They will continue with their usual medical care. They will have 2 phone calls with the study team. Baricitinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take 1 or 2 tablets by mouth every day for 6 months. They will start with a low dose and may increase to a higher dose. Blood and urine tests will be repeated during each study visit. Other tests may also be repeated during some visits. A skin sample may also be taken....

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Hyper IgE Syndrome From STAT3 Mutation, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 20 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
