Using Selinexor with R-CHOP for TP53-mutated DLBCL patients

Selinexor in Combination With R-CHOP as the First-line Therapy for TP53-mutated DLBCL Patients: a Single-arm, Multicenter, Phase II Clinical Trial (Smart Trial)

Phase 2 Interventional Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06517511

This study is testing if adding a new drug called selinexor to the standard treatment for people with untreated TP53-mutated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can help them get better.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of selinexor combined with R-CHOP as a first-line treatment for patients with untreated TP53-mutated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Participants will undergo 8 cycles of this combination therapy, and those who achieve complete remission will continue with selinexor maintenance therapy. The study aims to determine the complete response rate as the primary endpoint. It is a multi-center, single-arm phase II trial involving multiple locations in China.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 with histologically confirmed TP53-mutated DLBCL and at least one measurable lesion.

Not a fit: Patients with DLBCL combined with other lymphoma types or those who have previously received XPO1 inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with TP53-mutated DLBCL.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel for TP53-mutated DLBCL, similar combinations have shown promise in other lymphoma types.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects fully understand and voluntarily participate in this study and sign informed consent.
* Aged ≥18 and ≤80 years, no gender limitation.
* Histologically confirmed DLBCL with TP53 mutations (allowing transformed or concurrent indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma)
* No prior systemic anti-lymphoma therapy; prior local radiotherapy alone is permitted.
* There must be at least one measurable or evaluable lesion that meets the evaluation criteria for Lugano 2014 lymphoma.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) 0-2.
* Expected survival ≥ 3 months.
