  • Patients must have adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function as defined as: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/μl, Platelets ≥75,000/μl, (50,000/ μl if due to BM involvement), Direct bilirubin< 1.5 mg/dl, unless due to Gilbert's or secondary to hemolysis, AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) and/or ALT (Alanine Transaminase) <2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal unless due to lymphomatous involvement of the liver, Creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl and/or creatinine clearance >60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and no symptoms attributable to grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy.
  • Should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform the treating physician immediately.
  • Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are currently receiving any other experimental agent, patients must have stopped other experimental agents at least 21 days prior to 1st study dose.
  • Any prior to exposure to Jakafi
  • Patients with untreated brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Jakafi or Velcade.
  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study because Jakafi is inhibitor of the Jak-1 and Jak-2 kinases with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown, but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with Jakafi, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with Jakafi. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with Jakafi. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
  • Patients with grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy are excluded.
  • Patients with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), Burkitt or lymphoblastic lymphoma are excluded.
  • Patients who would be required to concurrently take ruxolitinib in conjunction with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and have a platelet count less than 100,000 are ineligible for the study.
  • Patient who are required to take a strong CYP3A4 inducer are excluded from the study.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose of the Combination of Ruxolitinib and Bortezomib in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma

The primary objective of this research study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) in combination with standard dose Bortezomib (Velcade) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin (HL) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).

Read the detailed description

Treatment of relapsed and refractory Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma remains difficult. To improve upon current efficacy rates new treatment modalities are needed. Currently modalities based upon targeting specific pathway and molecular receptors have made the greatest impact in the outcomes of refractory patients.

The JAK-Stat pathway and NF-κB are two such targets that have been shown to fuel the malignant transformation and growth of both myeloma and lymphoma. Blockade of key points in these molecular pathways has the potential of halting the pro-survival machinery. Combined inhibition of JAK/Stat and NF-κB may lead to synergistic effects as well as possibly mitigating some of the mechanisms of resistance to either agent. In this proposal, the investigators aim to utilize the JAK/Stat inhibitor ruxolitinib (Jakafi) and proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade) to target two major pathways of malignant transformation in hematologic malignancies.

The primary objective of this research study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) in combination with standard dose Bortezomib (Velcade) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin (HL) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).

The University of Michigan will enroll 24 subjects. Eligible subjects will have histologically or cytologically confirmed Hodgkin and Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma excluding Burkitt, CLL and lymphoblastic lymphoma that is considered to have relapsed or to be refractory to primary chemotherapy. Any prior exposure to Jakafi is excluded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bortezomib and Ruxolitinib in people with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ruxolitinib in Combination with Standard Dose Bortezomib (time frame: Up to 5 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Dec 2021.
