Full Title
Phase I Multicenter Study of Ruxolitinib and Duvelisib in Relapsed or Refractory T- or NK-Cell LymphomasPurpose
The purpose of this study is to find the highest doses of ruxolitinib and duvelisib when given together in patients with T-cell or NK-cell lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ruxolitinib as a treatment for myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera (other blood disorders). The FDA has approved duvelisib to treat follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The use of these two drugs together in this study is considered investigational.
Both duvelisib and ruxolitinib block proteins that have been shown to be active in many types of lymphoma. Blocking these proteins can cause cancer cells to die, which could slow or stop the growth of tumors. Both drugs are taken orally (by mouth).
