Patients that have been treated and asymptomatic are allowed on study. * (8) All participants must be screened for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) with hepatitis B viral load and serologies (core antibody, surface antigen, and surface antibody) within 30 days prior to enrollment. * Patients with positive Hep B core will need to be on HBV prophylaxis * Patients with positive Hep B core will need to be on HBV prophylaxis. * (9) Participants with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. If actively on treatment, HCV viral load mut be undetectable 30 days prior to enrollment. * (10) Participants with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection are eligible providing they are on effective anti-retroviral therapy and have undetectable viral load at their most recent viral load test (must be within 26 weeks prior to enrollment). * (11) Organ function as assessed by laboratory testing and Eastern Cooperate Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2 and or a Karnofsky performance score of equal or greater to 50 (see Section 20.1.1, Appendix A) for receipt of ruxolitinib and pembrolizumab. * Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥ 1000/μL (not growth factor independent) * Platelets ≥ 70,000/μL (or ≥50,000/mm3 if known bone marrow involvement with dose modifications allowed. See protocol for specific instructions for dose modifications). * Baseline hemoglobin level ≥ 8 g/dL (irrespective of bone marrow involvement). * Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula * Bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN * (12) Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * (13) Patients with prior history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that has been treated or actively requiring anticoagulation are permitted to enroll. * (14) Due to the potential teratogenic effects, women of childbearing age must have a documented negative serum β-hCG measured within 2 weeks of starting treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician and Incyte immediately (see protocol). Additionally, both women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence). Contraception should continue for 6 months after you stop taking study drug. Similarly, women must agree to not breastfeed during the entirety of the study period. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\) Diagnosis of Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) * 2\) History of autoimmune disease that requires systemic treatment. * 3\) Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * 4\) Actively chronic systemic steroids therapy (in dosing exceeding 10mg daily of prednisone or its drug equivalent). o Patients must be off steroid therapy exceeding 10mg or greater of prednisone (or its equivalent) at the start of therapy. * 5\) Patients with HL and PMBCL patients must not be eligible and agreeable to autologous stem cell transplant. o Patients with PMBCL must not be eligible and agreeable to CAR-T. * 6\) Allowed to have disease progression after or refractory to autologous bone marrow transplant. * 7\) Progression after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) can be determined on a case-by-case basis after discussion with the primary investigator. * 8\) History of solid organ transplant requiring active immunosuppression for which treatment with immunotherapy would be contraindicated. * 9\) Active TB (Tuberculosis Bacillus) at time screening. Prior cases of adequately treated TB are permissible. * 10\) Has severe hypersensitivity (≥ Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients. * 11\) Has severe hypersensitivity (≥ Grade 3) to ruxolitinib and/or any of its excipients. Patients with G1 and G2 hypersensitivity remain eligible. * 12\) Inability to swallow or take medications by mouth * 13\) Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expected to conceive children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment. * 14\) History of concurrent and active malignancy for which he or she is currently receiving directed therapy for. * 15\) History of major adverse cardiac events such as myocardial infraction or stroke within 6 months of enrollment. Cardiovascular events within 6 months such as pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis is permissible if on therapeutic treatment. * 16\) Subjects with active, systemic, and uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections at the time of screening will be excluded from study participation. Exceptions include: Infections that have been appropriately treated, with evidence of clinical resolution and return to baseline organ function within 14 days prior to study entry. * Localized, non-systemic infections (e.g., uncomplicated urinary tract infections or cellulitis) that are being actively managed and are not associated with systemic symptoms. * Please see section protocol for eligibility requirements specifically for HCV, HBV, HIV and Tuberculosis infections at time of screening.
