    2. Urinary M-protein excretion of ≥200 mg over a 24-hour period
    3. Involved free light chain level ≥10 mg/dL, along with an abnormal free light chain ratio
  3. Adequate bone marrow reserves, as defined by the following:

    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000 cells/mm3 within 1 week of the initiation of treatment
    2. Platelet count of ≥75 ,000 cells/mm3 for subjects who have bone marrow plasmacytosis of <50%, or ≥50,000 cells/mm3 for subjects who have bone marrow plasmacytosis of >50%
  4. Adequate hepatic function, as defined by the following:

    1. Total bilirubin ≤ 2 times the upper limit of the institutional normal values
    2. Total AST and ALT ≤ 3 times the upper limit of the institutional normal values
  5. Adequate renal function, as defined by the following: creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min., as measured by a 24-hour urine collection, or estimated by the Cockcroft and Gault formula.
  6. Adequate cardiac function defined as LVEF ≥ 40% by MUGA, echocardiogram or cardiac MRI.

Subjects are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed therapy for a prior malignancy, are disease free from prior malignancies for >5 years, and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse. In addition, subjects with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial carcinoma of the bladder, carcinoma of the prostate with a current PSA value of <0.5 ng/mL, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia will be eligible. Finally, subjects who are on hormonal therapy for a history of either prostate cancer or breast cancer may enroll, provided that there has been no evidence of disease progression during the previous three years.

  12. Contraindication to any of the required concomitant drugs or supportive treatments or intolerance to hydration due to preexisting pulmonary or cardiac impairment including pleural effusion requiring thoracentesis or ascites requiring paracentesis.
  13. Known intolerance to carfilzomib.
  14. Co-administration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as, but not limited to, boceprevir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, ritonavir, mibefradil, nefazodone, nelfinavir, posaconazole, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, voriconazole) as well as fluconazole (a dual inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of Phase I is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ruxolitinib in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone. The primary objective of phase II is to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months in multiple myeloma subjects who receive the combination treatment carfilzomib, dexamethasone, and ruxolitinib.
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, Phase I/II study of carfilzomib, ruxolitinib, and low-dose dexamethasone for carfilzomib-refractory multiple myeloma. Phase I is designed to evaluate overall maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ruxolitinib in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in the following cohorts: Cohort 1) 5mg ruxolitinib, Cohort 2) 10mg ruxolitinib, Cohort 3) 15mg ruxolitinib. Phase II is designed to evaluate 4-month progression-free survival (PFS) in the following cohorts: Cohort A) non-responders to Phase I regimen, Cohort B) responders to Phase I regimen. Up to 18 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in Phase I over approximately 12 months. An additional 30 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in Phase II over 24 months.
