Reporting Groups
  Description
Ruxolitinib Then Ruxolitinib + Dexamethasone Patients received ruxolitinib 25 mg orally twice daily (bid) in each treatment cycle of 28 days. For those patients who had disease progression at any time or stable disease for 3 cycles and did not meet a withdrawal criterion or withdrew consent then 40 mg of dexamethasone was added to ruxolitinib on Days 1 to 4, 9 to 12, and 17 to 20 for four 28-day cycles. After the 4th cycle, 40 mg of dexamethasone was administered only on Days 1 to 4 of each subsequent cycle. Patients could continue to receive monotherapy or combination therapy indefinitely as long as no withdrawal criterion was met, did not have progressive disease and were receiving some clinical benefit.
