ratio ≥ 100. Age ≥18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
2. Patients must have had a bone marrow (BM) biopsy proven plasma cell myeloma harboring
the t(11;14) translocation as reported by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments
(CLIA) certified assay (i.e. local fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing).
BM biopsy can be performed at time of enrollment or documented FISH results (i.e.
original FISH report) can be used.
3. Must have Relapsed or Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma. Patients must have
documented evidence of having received two prior lines of therapy and be refractory
to, not a candidate for (ineligible), or intolerant of at least one immunomodulatory
(IMiD), one proteasome inhibitor, and one anti-cluster of differentiation 38
(anti-CD38) monoclonal antibody-based treatments.
4. Documented measurable disease based on the IMWG guidelines within the 4 weeks prior to
registration defined by any one of the following criteria:
1. Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 0.5 g/dl. 2. Urine monoclonal protein >200 mg/24 hour. 3. Serum immunoglobulin free light chain >10 mg/dL AND abnormal kappa/lambda ratio. 4. Bone marrow plasma cells ≥ 30%
5. A measurable lesion on PET/CT or MRI ≥ 2 cm. 5. Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of ≤ 3 (Appendix A)
7. Adequate organ function as evidenced by the following laboratory parameters within 4
weeks of C1D1:
Hematologic:
1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1000/microliter (mcL) (granulocyte-colony
stimulating factor (G-CSF) allowed)
2. Platelets ≥ 50,000/mcL (transfusions and stimulators permitted); in patients with
>50% bone marrow plasma cells, platelets ≥ 30,000/mcL. 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (transfusions permitted)
Non-hematologic:
4. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 X ULN (except if due to myeloma) or calculated creatinine
clearance (CrCl)/Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (by Chronic Kidney
Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), Modification of Diet in Renal
Disease (MDRD), or Cockcroft-Gault) ≥ 15 mL/min/1.73 m2. 5. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for patients with
total bilirubin levels > 1.5 ULN (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome who
must have a total bilirubin of < 3 X ULN)
6. Aspartate transaminase (SGOT) and alanine transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN. 8. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at
Screening. Female patients of childbearing potential and fertile male patients who are
sexually active with a female of childbearing potential must use highly effective
methods of contraception throughout the study and for 90 days following the last dose
of study treatment.
9. Willing and able to provide written informed consent in accordance with federal,
local, and institutional guidelines. The patient must provide informed consent prior
to the first screening procedure.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Has received selinexor or another specific inhibitor of nuclear exporter (SINE)
compound previously.
2. Has any concurrent medical condition or disease (eg, uncontrolled active hypertension,
uncontrolled active diabetes, active systemic infection, etc.) that is likely to
interfere with study procedures.
3. Uncontrolled active infection requiring parenteral antibiotics, antivirals, or
antifungals within 1 week prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1). Patients on prophylactic
antibiotics or with a controlled infection within 1 week prior to C1D1 are acceptable.
4. Known intolerance, hypersensitivity, or contraindication to glucocorticoids.
5. Pregnant or breastfeeding females.
6. Active, unstable cardiovascular function, as indicated by the presence of symptomatic
ischemia, or Uncontrolled clinically significant conduction abnormalities (eg,
patients with ventricular tachycardia on anti-arrhythmics are excluded; patients with
first degree atrioventricular block or asymptomatic left anterior fascicular
block/right bundle branch block will not be excluded), or Congestive heart failure of
New York Heart Association Class ≥3 or known left ventricular ejection fraction <40%,
or Myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to C1D1.
7. Subjects with active hepatitis B virus (Hep B) are allowed if antiviral therapy for
hepatitis B has been given for >8 weeks and viral load is <100 IU/ml prior to first
dose of trial treatment. Subjects with untreated hepatitis C virus (HCV) are allowed.
Subjects with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who have cluster of differentiation
4-positive (CD4+) T-cell counts ≥ 350 cells/µL and no history of AIDS-defining
opportunistic infections in the last year are allowed.
8. Any active gastrointestinal dysfunction interfering with the patient's ability to
swallow tablets, or any active gastrointestinal dysfunction that could interfere with
absorption of study treatment.
9. Inability or unwillingness to take supportive medications such as anti-nausea and
anti-anorexia agents as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network®
(NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (CPGO)
(https://www.nccn.org/guidelines/category_3) for antiemesis and anorexia/cachexia
(palliative care).
10. Any active, serious psychiatric, medical, or other conditions/situations that, in the
opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with treatment, compliance, or the
ability to give informed consent.
11. Contraindication to any of the required concomitant drugs or supportive treatments.
12. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol or known mental or physical
illness that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial or
confound the results or interpretation of the results of the trial and, in the opinion
of the treating investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the
study.
