Study of Ruxolitinib in Relapsed or Refractory T or NK Cell Lymphoma

Is NCT02974647 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies Ruxolitinib for lymphoma.

Phase 2RecruitingMemorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterNCT02974647Data as of May 2026

Treatment: RuxolitinibThe 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.

Lab requirements

Blood counts

ANC ≥ 1.0/mm^3 or ≥ 0.5/mm^3 if baseline neutropenia due to lymphoma; platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L or ≥ 50 x 10^9/L if related to lymphoma; Hgb ≥ 8g/dL; LGL or T-PLL not required to meet minimum ANC or hemoglobin

Kidney function

Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min; creatinine clearance of 15-29 mL/min allowed if baseline platelets ≥ 150 x 10^9/L

Liver function

Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x 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

Patients must meet the following lab criteria: ANC ≥ 1.0/mm^3 or ≥ 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; LGL or T-PLL not required to meet a minimum ANC or hemoglobin value for eligibility; Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x 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
