A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Study of the JAK1/2 Inhibitor, Ruxolitinib or Placebo in Combination With Capecitabine in Subjects With Advanced or Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas Who Have Failed or Are Intolerant to First-Line Chemotherapy (The JANUS 1 Study)
Determining the efficacy, based upon overall survival, of ruxolitinib added to capecitabine
for the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
for the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study, in which
approximately 310 participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who
have failed, or were intolerant to first-line chemotherapy, were to be randomized (1:1) to
one of the following treatment groups:
- Treatment A (N = 155): Capecitabine + ruxolitinib
- Treatment B (N = 155): Capecitabine + placebo
Treatment consisted of repeating 21-day cycles. Capecitabine was self-administered for the
first 14 days of each cycle, and ruxolitinib/placebo was self-administered daily for each
cycle. Treatment for all participants continued as long as the regimen was tolerated, and the
participant did not meet discontinuation criteria. Participants who discontinued study
treatment before study termination were monitored for safety up to 30-35 days from the end of
treatment. All participants were followed for survival until study termination or the safety
follow-up visit.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Received more than 1 prior regimen for advanced or metastatic disease.
- Ongoing radiation therapy, radiation therapy administered within 30 days of
enrollment.
- Concurrent anticancer therapy (eg, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery,

embolization).
