Cancer drug ruxolitinib keeps flowing to stable patients in rollover trial
NCT ID NCT02955940
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study offers continued access to the cancer drug ruxolitinib (sometimes combined with other therapies) for people with pancreatic, colorectal, breast, or lung cancer who were already benefiting and stable in a prior Incyte-sponsored trial. Only 10 participants are enrolled, and the main goal is to monitor safety and side effects, not to test new effectiveness. The study is active but no longer recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ruxolitinib (a targeted cancer drug, also known as Jakafi), sometimes given with capecitabine or regorafenib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study helps ensure patients who are already benefiting from ruxolitinib can keep taking it without interruption, while gathering more safety data.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small rollover study (10 people) that does not test new effectiveness. It only continues existing treatment and monitors side effects, so it won't prove whether ruxolitinib works for these cancers.
