TBCRC 042 - A Randomized Phase II Window-of-Opportunity Trial of Ruxolitinib in Patients With High Risk and Premalignant Breast Conditions

This study is evaluating how ruxolitinib affects premalignant breast cells. One half of the
study participants will receive ruxolitinib for approximately 15 days, and the other half
will receive a placebo (sugar pill) for approximately 15 days. Once study participants have
completed their ruxolitinib or placebo, participants will undergo surgery to remove the
premalignant breast tissue.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Have a breast biopsy showing ADH (atypical ductal hyperplasia), ALH (atypical lobular
hyperplasia), LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ), or DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ)
requiring surgical excision.

- NOTE: Tissue from the diagnostic biopsy must be accessible/available for research
correlates (i.e., a tissue block or ~10 unstained slides). Due to the nature of
the study, fewer slides may be accepted with prior permission from the Protocol
Chair if there is insufficient tissue.

- Women and men age 18 and older.

- Adequate hematologic and organ function, defined as follows:

- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/mm3

- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL

- Platelet levels >200 x 109/L

- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

- AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 x institutional ULN

- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 5 x institutional ULN

- Creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min as calculated by the Cockroft-Gault method

- Willing to not use concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors as this could interfere with
the metabolism of ruxolitinib (i.e azole antifungals, clarithromycin, conivaptan,
grapefruit juice, mibefradil, nefazodone, protease inhibitors, telithromycin).

- Women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to starting
therapy. The effects of ruxolitinib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For
this reason and because class C agents are potentially teratogenic, women of
child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or
barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration
of study participation.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents within 30 days of
enrollment.

- Participants with current or previous history of invasive breast cancer.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, end stage renal disease (ESRD), or psychiatric illness/social situations
that would limit compliance with study requirements.

- Pregnant or nursing women are excluded from this study

- HIV-positive participants on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because
of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with ruxolitinib. Appropriate
studies will be undertaken in participants receiving combination antiretroviral
therapy when indicated.

- Prior or current treatment with a JAK inhibitor, for any indication.

- Known Hepatitis B or C participants
