Study Details

Study Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessment for MTD/optimal dose [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.

Laboratory criteria.

Laboratory criteria

For dose escalation phase:

Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 K/mcL (Note: growth factor is allowed)
Platelet count ≥80 K/μl or ≥50 K/μl if due to lymphoma
Calculated creatinine clearance ≥60mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault
Total bilirubin ≤1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤3x ULN if documented hepatic involvement with lymphoma, or ≤5x ULN if history of Gilbert's syndrome; AST and ALT ≤ 3x ULN; or ≤ 5x ULN if due to lymphoma involvement

For dose expansion phase:

Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 K/mcL or ≥0.5 K/mcL if due to lymphoma or ≥0.0 K/mcL if due to T-PLL or large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL) (Note: growth factor is allowed).
