A phase 1/3 clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of selinexor plus ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) who are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor-naïve is now recruiting participants for its phase 3 portion.
The global, multicenter, 2-part study aims to recruit an estimated 350 participants with MF. Participants were all at least 18 years of age.
The study consists of an experimental phase 1a, experimental phase 1b, and experimental phase 3 portion.
In the experimental phase 1a portion, 1 group of patients were given 40 mg of oral selinexor once a week on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle together with 15 or 20 mg of ruxolitinib twice a day based on their platelet count at baseline while another group was given 60 mg of oral selinexor on the same days and the same dose of ruxolitinib as the first group.
In the experimental phase 1b, patients were given either 40 or 60 mg of oral selinexor once a week on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle and the same dose of ruxolitinib.
In the experimental phase 3 portion, patients will either be given a fixed starting dose of 60 mg of oral selinexor or a placebo once a week on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle together with the same dose of ruxolitinib.
The primary outcome measures of the phase 1 portion of the trial was the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose of selinexor and the number of participants with adverse events by severity, nature, and occurrence.
