The survival rate of patients with recurrent or treatment-refractory pancreatic cancer was improved when patients were treated with a combination of ruxolitinib (Jakafi) and the chemotherapy agent capecitabine compared to patients who were treated with capecitabine alone, according to results of a phase II proof-of-concept study.

The drug’s manufacturer, Incyte, announced the results on Wednesday. Full results from the study are expected to be presented at a future scientific meeting.

Ruxolitinib is a potent and selective oral JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor that was approved by the FDA in 2011 for the treatment of myelofibrosis, a form of blood cancer characterized by bone marrow failure and spleen enlargement.
