About this trial
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the study drug called ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib works by blocking a protein called JAK. JAK works along with another protein called STAT and is important for survival of many T or NK-cell lymphomas. By blocking JAK, ruxolitinib may cause T or NK-cell lymphomas to shrink.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Pathologically confirmed T or NK cell lymphoma at the enrolling institution. For CTCL, patients with stage IB disease or greater are eligible.
Relapse or refractory disease after at least 1 systemic therapy except for T-PLL, LGL, or T-cell Lymphoproliferative diseases with JAK2 fusion.
Untreated patients may be allowed after discussion with P.I.
Age ≥ 18
Disqualifiers
ANC ≥ 1.0/mm^3 or ANC >/= 0.5/mm^3 (if patient has baseline neutropenia due to lymphoma), platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L or ≥ 50 x 10^9/L (if related to lymphoma), Hgb ≥ 8g/dL
Patients with LGL or T-PLL are not required to meet a minimum ANC or hemoglobin value for eligibility
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or; ≤ 3 x ULN if documented hepatic involvement with lymphoma, or ≤ 5 x ULN if history of Gilbert's ; AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN; ≤ 5 x ULN if due to lymphoma involvement
Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min; creatinine clearance of 15-29 mL/min will be allowed as long as baseline platelets are ≥ 150 x 10^9/L

Primary outcomes
disease control rate
defined as the combination of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD). The reason we use this definition instead of the more conventional partial/complete response rate is twofold.
