A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Study of the JAK 1/2 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 2 Study)
This was to determine the efficacy, based upon overall survival, of ruxolitinib added to
capecitabine for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
capecitabine for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study, in which
approximately 270 participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who
had failed or were intolerant to first-line chemotherapy were to be randomized (1:1) to one
of the following treatment groups:
- Treatment A (N = 135): Capecitabine + ruxolitinib
- Treatment B (N = 135): 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 during the entire
cycle. Treatment for all participants was to continue as long as the regimen was tolerated,
and the participant did not meet discontinuation criteria. Participants who discontinued
treatment continued to be followed for subsequent anticancer treatments and survival.

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

immunotherapy, biologic therapy, hormonal therapy, investigational therapy, or tumor
embolization).
