Efficacy and Safety of Ruxolitinib and Steroids for Treating Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

November 23, 2021

As of July 15, 2021, 27 patients were enrolled. The median age was 64 years (range, 46-85), and 17 (63%) were male. Patients received a median of 4 (range, 3-11) prior treatments including LEN and steroid-containing regimens to which they were all refractory. Twenty-six patients have completed at least 1 full cycle of therapy; and, thus, were evaluable for efficacy.

The ORR and CBR were 35% (n=9) and 39% (n=10), respectively. Notably, all 10 responding patients were refractory to LEN (i.e., progressed while on or within 8 weeks of last dosage). The remaining patients showed stable disease (n=12) or PD (n=4). The median follow-up was 13 months. The median progression-free survival was 4 months (range, 1-21). The median duration of response was 11 months (range, 1-20). Of 13 patients who progressed on the two-drug combination and had LEN added to their regimen, 6 patients responded (3 MR and 3 PR).

Nine patients experienced SAEs including sepsis (12%), sepsis with neutropenic fever (4%), thrombocytopenia (4%), hyperglycemia (4%), neutropenia (4%), anemia (4%), acute heart failure (4%), rotator cuff tear (4%), osteomyelitis (4%), aspiration pneumonia (4%), pneumonia and pneumothorax (4%), and deep venous thrombosis (4%). Two patients died (one each from pneumonia and PD).
