Using Selinexor with ICE chemotherapy for B-cell lymphoma with CNS involvement

Phase 1/2 Study of Selinexor With Dexamethasone, Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, and Etoposide in Patients Who Have Secondary Central Nervous System Involvement With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Samsung Medical Center · NCT06552559

This study is testing if adding Selinexor to standard chemotherapy can help people with B-cell lymphoma that has spread to the brain feel better when other treatments haven't worked.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the combination of Selinexor, a selective inhibitor of nuclear export, with ICE chemotherapy in patients suffering from B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has spread to the central nervous system. The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach, particularly in cases where traditional therapies have failed. Participants will receive Selinexor alongside ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and dexamethasone, with the goal of improving response rates in a population that typically faces poor outcomes. The trial is designed for patients with measurable disease and specific eligibility criteria to ensure a focused assessment of the treatment's impact.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and measurable CNS involvement.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior anthracycline-based chemotherapy or those with significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with B-cell lymphoma that has metastasized to the CNS, potentially improving survival rates.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on the specific combination of Selinexor with ICE chemotherapy, other studies have shown promise in using Selinexor for relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.

* Patients must not have any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
* Patients must not have any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.
