This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib, steroids and lenalidomide among multiple myeloma patients who currently show progressive disease.
This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
The following criteria is a partial list of reasons why patients may be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. Further evaluation with a medical professional is required.
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible to enroll in this study.
Major criteria:
Minor criteria:
Any of the following sets of criteria will confirm the diagnosis of multiple myeloma:
2. Currently has MM with measurable disease, defined as:
for patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, an involved SFLC > 100 mg/L or abnormal SFLC ratio
3. Currently has progressive MM
MM patients that are relapsed or have refractory disease from at least 2 regimens or lines of therapy including an IMID and a proteasome inhibitor, are eligible for enrollment provided they fulfill the other eligibility criteria:
• Patients are considered relapsed, when they progress greater than 8 weeks from their last dose of treatment.
Patients are refractory when they progress while currently receiving the treatment or within 8 weeks of its last dose.
4. Previous exposure to lenalidomide independent of the response
5. The patient is not a candidate for a transplant
6. Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form before receiving any study-related procedure that is not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn at any time without prejudice to their future medical care.
7. Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
8. ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 at study entry
9. Life-expectancy of greater than 3 months
10. Laboratory test results within these ranges at Screening and confirmed at enrollment prior to drug dosing on Cycle 1, Day 1:
Serum potassium 3.0 - 5.5 mEq/L
11. Patients must be registered into the mandatory REVLIMID REMS™ program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the REVLIMID REMS™ program
12. FCBP† must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 10 - 14 days prior to and again within 24 hours of starting ruxolitinib and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or use acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, and at least 28 days before she starts taking ruxolitinib with or without lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a vasectomy. All subjects must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure.
† A FCBP (female of childbearing potential) is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
13. Able to take aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) at 81 or 325 mg/daily as antiplatelet therapy if platelet count is above 30 x 10E9/L (subjects intolerant to ASA may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin)
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in the study:
Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any one of the following:
Received the following prior therapy:
Phase 1
Enrollment: 134 patients (estimated)

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).
June 03, 2018
The JAK 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib (Jakafi), in combination with lenalidomide and methylprednisolone, overcame resistance to lenalidomide in about half of 28 heavily pre-treated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, based on phase I trial results presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
...
The overall response rate was 39% (10 of 26 evaluable patients), Dr. Berenson reported. The clinical benefit rate was 50% (13 of 26 patients), with a median duration of response of 5.6 months in that group.
There were no dose-limiting toxicities. Grade 3 toxicities reported included thrombocytopenia in 11% (3 patients, gastrointestinal bleeding in 11% (3 patients), and anemia in 7% (2 patients).
