Summary
The purpose of this research study to find out if the drug trametinib in combination with ruxolitinib is safe, tolerable and has beneficial effects in people who has certain type of cancers including the type that you have. Patients with RAS mutant colorectal cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma are invited to participate in this study. This is the first time that both trametinib and ruxolitinib are studied in combination. Trametinib is marketed in several countries with the brand name Mekinist® for the treatment of melanoma (a type of skin cancer). Trametinib has been studied extensively in cancer and has been tested in many patients. Ruxolitinib is an oral inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2 tyrosine kinases and is approved for treatment of adult polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib has been studied extensively in many patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients (male or female) ≥ 21.

- Patients with histological diagnosis of RAS mutant advanced colon and pancreatic
adenocarcinoma having received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy. Pancreatic
cancer patients with KRAS mutation detected on plasma profiling having received at
least 1 prior line of systemic therapy.

- Patients must have at least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria version 1.1.

normal (ULN) per institutional laboratory normal range.

- Ejection fraction ≥ 50% with no symptoms attributable to heart failure.

- Have normal QT interval on screening electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluation, defined as QT
interval corrected (Fridericia) (QTcF) of ≤450 ms in males or ≤470 ms in females.

- For female patients of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be
documented prior to enrolment.

- Female and male patients who are fertile must agree to use a highly effective form of
contraception with their sexual partners throughout study participation.

- Have the willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits and study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Received cytotoxic chemotherapy, investigational agents, or radiation within 14 days
of study drug commencement, or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, and with recovery
of clinically significant toxicities from that therapy.

- Received monoclonal antibodies or had surgery within 30 days of the first dose of
study drug.

- Have been diagnosed with another primary malignancy within the past 3 years of study
drug commencement (except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical
cancer in situ, or prostate cancer).

increasing dose of corticosteroids.
