Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc27 enrolled

Overview

This is a multi-center, phase 2, single arm, open-label study of oral selinexor monotherapy in patients with Richter's Transformation, arising in the setting of prior chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), after at least one chemo-immunotherapy regimen for CLL.

Multi-center, phase 2, single arm, open-label study of oral selinexor monotherapy in patients with Richter's Transformation, arising in the setting of prior CLL, documented by histologically confirmed lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) and immunoblastic variants. Eligible patients must have had at least one prior regimen for CLL. Approximately 50 patients are anticipated to be treated in this study. Eligible patients following screening will receive selinexor orally twice weekly at a dose of 60 mg. The selinexor dose may be increased to 80 mg after Cycle 1 unless clinically contraindicated. Patients may continue in multiple treatment cycles at a given dose; there is no maximum treatment duration. Each cycle is 28 days. Dose adjustments will be made as appropriate by the investigator. Patients who were treated twice weekly for weeks 1-3 under a previous version of the protocol may, at the discretion of the investigator, have had the frequency of selinexor dosing increased to twice weekly for weeks 1-4. If there was no contraindicated toxicity, the selinexor dose may have been increased to 80 mg at Cycle 3.

Inclusion Criteria: * Richter's Transformation, arising in the setting of prior CLL, documented by histologically confirmed lymphoma, including large B-cell and immunoblastic variants. * All patients must have received at least one prior regimen for CLL, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, a BTK inhibitor, or a PI3K inhibitor. Patients may have received high dose chemotherapy/autologous stem cell transplant (HDT/ASCT) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo SCT). * One or more measurable (\> 1.5 cm in longest dimension) disease sites on CT (preferably PET/CT) or, if CT is contraindicated, MRI (preferably PET/MRI) scans. * Objective documented evidence of disease progression at study entry * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤ 2 Exclusion Criteria: * Radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy or any other anticancer therapy ≤ 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1, except ibrutinib which may be continued until one day prior to initiation of selinexor; radio-immunotherapy 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. Patients must have recovered to Grade ≤ 1 from clinically significant adverse effects. * Prolymphocytic transformation * Less than 1 month since completion of autologous stem cell transplantation or less than 3 months since completion of allogeneic stem cell transplantation * Major surgery within 4 weeks of C1D1 * Impairment of GI function or GI disease that could interfere with the absorption of selinexor, including obstructed GI tract and uncontrolled vomiting or diarrhea. * Inability or unwillingness to take supportive medications including a centrally acting appetite stimulant (e.g., mirtazapine or olanzapine) and a peripherally acting appetite stimulant (e.g., low dose glucocorticoids or megesterol acetate).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Overall Response (Overall Response Rate)

Overall Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the point estimate of the percentage of patients who have complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Disease response was assessed using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson 2007), including assessment of lymph node, spleen and liver lesions by PET (positron emission tomography) scan and assessment of bone marrow biopsies by morphologic, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry tests. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease, and PR was defined as ≥ 50% regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

Time frame: Assessments were performed at Screening or Cycle 1/Day 1 prior to dosing and on Cycle 3/Day 1 and alternate cycles thereafter until disease progression, study drug intolerability had been reached, study withdrawal, or death.

Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR)

Number of patients who achieved CR (complete disappearance of all detectable evidence of disease). Disease response was assessed using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson 2007), including assessment of lymph node, spleen and liver lesions by PET (positron emission tomography) scan and assessment of bone marrow biopsies by morphologic, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry tests.

Number of Participants With Partial Response (PR)

Number of patients whose best overall response to study treatment was PR (≥ 50% regression of measurable disease and no new sites). Disease response was assessed using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson 2007), including assessment of lymph node, spleen and liver lesions by PET (positron emission tomography) scan and assessment of bone marrow biopsies by morphologic, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry tests.

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (Disease Control Rate)

Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of patients who achieved CR, PR, or SD lasting for at least 8 weeks. CR was defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease. PR was defined as ≥ 50% regression of measurable disease and no new sites. SD was defined as failure to attain criteria for CR or PR, or to meet criteria for PD. Disease response was assessed using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson 2007), including assessment of lymph node, spleen and liver lesions by PET (positron emission tomography) scan and assessment of bone marrow biopsies by morphologic, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry tests.

Duration of Progression Free Survival (PFS)

Number of days calculated from date of start of study therapy to date of progression based on IWG criteria, or date of death if progression did not occur. Patients who dropped out prior to study end without evidence of disease progression were censored at the day they were last known to be alive. Patients without documented disease progression or recurrence were censored at the date of last disease assessment. Disease response was assessed using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson 2007), including assessment of lymph node, spleen and liver lesions by PET (positron emission tomography) scan and assessment of bone marrow biopsies by morphologic, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry tests. .
