Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: August 12, 2021)

Assessment for MTD/optimal dose [ Time Frame: 1 year ]

3 subjects will be enrolled and followed for eight weeks of safety assessments. If no DLT is observed after all three subjects have been observed for eight weeks, a second cohort of 3 subjects will be enrolled at the next highest dose level. Cohorts will continue to be enrolled and observed until one subject experiences a DLT or the maximum dose level is reached with 0 or 1/6 DLTs.

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: A Study of Ruxolitinib and Duvelisib in People With Lymphoma
• Official Title: Phase I Multicenter Study of Ruxolitinib and Duvelisib in Relapsed or Refractory T- or NK-Cell Lymphomas
• Brief Summary: This study will test the safety of ruxolitinib, given at one dose that does not change, and duvelisib, given at different doses, to find out what effects, if any, the study treatment has on people with relapsed or refractory NK-cell or T-cell lymphoma.

Study Design

Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

This phase I study includes a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Condition

• T-cell Lymphomas
• NK-Cell Lymphomas
• T-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
• T-cell Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemia

Intervention

• Drug: Ruxolitinib
  Ruxolitinib 20mg BID
• Drug: Duvelisib
  Duvelisib 25mg, 50mg, or 75mg BID

Study Arms

Experimental: Ruxolitinib and Duvelisib

Ruxolitinib 20mg BID plus Duvelisib 25mg, 50mg, or 75mg BID. Patients will be instructed to take duvelisib and ruxolitinib by mouth every 12 hours, the same time each day, +/- 2 hours. Duvelisib and ruxolitinib will be provided via the institutional investigational pharmacy. The researchers will utilize a dose-escalation standard 3+3 design in which we evaluate 3 doses of duvelisib (25mg BID, 50mg BID, and 75mg BID) in combination with ruxolitinib 20mg BID. A minus-1 dose level of duvelisib (15mg BID) can be used if de-escalation is needed. The cohort expansion phase will have two treatment groups JAK/STAT activation or mutation present or JAK/STAT activation or mutation absent or unknown. Upon discussion with PI, the treating physician may increase dose up to 20 mg of ruxotlinib and/or 25 mg of duvelisib when deemed clinically favorable.
