The role of ibrutinib in COVID-19 hyperinflammation: A case report.

Immune modulation in COVID-19 is emerging as an important therapeutic strategy as increasing evidence suggests that inflammatory pathways are implicated in lung damage. Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), such as ibrutinib, are commonly used to treat indolent B-cell neoplasms and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Given their potential to suppress pulmonary inflammatory cytokines and lessen acute lung injury, this could be applicable in the context of hospitalised COVID-19 patients.
