Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

childbearing potential only
- Female of childbearing potential (FCBP*) must commit to take highly
effective contraceptive precautions** without interruption during the study
and continue for at least 12 weeks after the last dose of selinexor and CS.
FCBP must refrain from breastfeeding and donating oocytes during the course
of the study. Males must use an effective barrier method of contraception
without interruption during the study and continue for at least 12 weeks
after the last dose of selinexor and CS. They must refrain from donating
sperm during the study participation.
- *FCBP defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone bilateral tubal
ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy; or who have not been postmenopausal
(i.e., who have not menstruated at all) for at least 1 year
- Highly effective forms of birth control are methods that achieve a failure rate
of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Highly effective
forms of birth control include: hormonal contraceptives (oral, injectable, patch,
and intrauterine devices), male partner sterilization, or total abstinence from
heterosexual intercourse, when this is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
patient NOTE: The double-barrier method (e.g., synthetic condoms, diaphragm, or
cervical cap with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel), periodic abstinence (such as
calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation), withdrawal (coitus interruptus),
lactational amenorrhea method, and spermicide-only are not acceptable as highly
effective methods of contraception

Pharmacokinetics (PKs) and banking
- For lymphoma, extramedullary myeloma and histiocytic/dendritic cell
neoplasms, willing to provide mandatory tissue samples for correlative
research. NOTE: If an institution is not able to provide the tissue, it does
not cause the patient to be ineligible; however, the collection of these
tissues is strongly recommended.

Patients who are on aspirin (81 mg) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
can enroll, but the ASA needs to be held while on this protocol therapy
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
