A Sequential Two-Stage Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ruxolitinib for the Treatment of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) and Cataloging the Molecular Consequences of JAK2 Inhibition in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia: A Correlative Study Identifying Targetable CMML Sub-Clones by Leveraging GM-CSF Dependent pSTAT Hypersensitivity
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ruxolitinib for Myelomonocytic Leukemia. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if treating Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) with a study drug \[ruxolitinib\] can improve outcomes of patients with CMML. The first step of the study is to learn the dose of ruxolitinib that is tolerable (bearable). It has already been studied in a number of patients with different bone marrow diseases and is approved for the treatment of a disease called Myelofibrosis; however, it is not approved for treatment of CMML. It is given orally (by mouth). Most people tolerate it well but the tolerability has not been determined in patients with CMML. We will be testing different doses to determine how much of the medication people can tolerate (bear) before they develop side effects.

Interventions
In Phase I, participants will be allocated to twice a day (BID) doses of 10 mg/d up to 40mg/d. The starting dose will be 10 mg/d (5mg BID). Each cohort will include up to 6 subjects. Once MTD is reached, 10 additional participants will be treated during the first stage of Phase II (stage 1) at the MTD.
