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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.
