Selinexor, Daratumumab, Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of High-Risk, Recurrent or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of selinexor when combined with carfilzomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory) and who have received 1-3 prior lines of therapy.

mutagenic and teratogenic effects:

- Pregnant women

- Nursing women

- Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate
contraception

tachycardia and 1st degree heart block are not considered clinically significant)

patient at risk must be documented by the investigator as not medically
significant

- A diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does not exclude the patient from
participation. However, the viral load must be < 50 copies/mm^3 and CD4 count >= 200

antigen [HBsAg]). Subjects with resolved infection (i.e. subjects who are HBsAg
negative but positive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] and/or
antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen [anti-HBs]) must be screened using real-time
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV)
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels. Subjects who are PCR positive will be excluded.
Exception: patients with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

- Discontinuation of prior carfilzomib or daratumumab due to treatment toxicity

therapy (XRT) to < 5% of the total marrow volume as assessed by the treating
investigator is allowed within 14 days

- Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to day 1 of treatment

- Any multiple myeloma therapy within 14 days prior to cycle 1, day 1

- Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for
the primary neoplasm

- Active central nervous system (CNS) involvement

- Concomitant amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis or polyneuropathy, organomegaly,
