Brief summary

This phase Ib study will investigate dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of afatinib and ruxolitinib combination therapy, based on the preclinical data that inhibition of IL-6R/JAK1 signal transmission pathway will increase sensitivity to afatinib.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To set a recommended phase II dose (RP2D)36 daysWe will set a recommended phase II dose (RP2D) using conventional 3+3 deisgn.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety and tolerability (dose relating toxicity; DLT)1yearAdverse events (AEs) will be assessed according to NCI common toxicity criteria (CTC) version 4.03.
Overall response rate (ORR)1yearResponse and progression will be evaluated in this study using modified international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1)
Progression free survival (PFS)1yearPFS will be defined as the start of the treatment to the first occurrence of progression, relapse, or death from any cause as assessed by the investigator.
Overall survival (OS)1yearOS will be defined as the start of the treatment to the date of death due to any cause.
Pharmacodynamic biomarker1yearThe biomarkers marker related with EGFR and JAK/STAT pathway as well as gene analysis, using peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC), circulating tumor cell (CTC) and skin and tumor tissue sample will be analyzed.
