Combination therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with t(11;14) translocation

Selinexor, Venetoclax, and Dexamethasone (XVenD) in t(11;14)-Positive Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (SELVEDge Study)

This study is testing a new combination of three medications to see if it can help people with a specific type of relapsed or hard-to-treat multiple myeloma.

• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 33 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years and up

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of a combination therapy using selinexor, venetoclax, and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have the t(11;14) genetic translocation. The study aims to enhance anti-cancer effects and improve patient outcomes by targeting this specific genetic marker. Participants will receive the treatment regimen and be monitored for responses and side effects. The trial is designed to provide insights into the potential benefits of this targeted approach in managing a challenging form of multiple myeloma.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and the t(11;14) translocation.

Not a fit: Patients without the t(11;14) translocation or those with other forms of multiple myeloma may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new effective option for patients with a specific genetic profile of multiple myeloma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in multiple myeloma, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

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.

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.
