Study Details

Ruxolitinib is a drug which blocks the Janus tyrosine Kinase (JAK) signaling pathway. It is thought that this pathway might be important in certain types of breast cancer, and that blocking this pathway might lead to anti-cancer effects. This study is testing the effects of ruxolitinib in patients with breast cancer.

Arms

  • Experimental: Ruxolitinib-Cohort A
    Patients received Ruxolitinib 25 mg twice daily for up to 12 cycles (cycle duration=28 days) until evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients enrolled sequentially into two possible cohorts based on pStat3+ expression score by central testing: Cohort A - moderate to high positive status defined as a score of \>/=5 by central testing or Cohort B - low positive status defined as a score of 3-4. Each cohort was evaluated with a 2 stage design. Cohort B only opened if 2 objective responses were observed in 1st stage Cohort A patients (n=21).

Primary Outcome Measure

Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 8 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity up to 12 cycles. Treatment duration was a median of 2 cycles range (1-5). ]
