PURPOSE Antitumor activity in preclinical models and a phase I study of patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DD-LPS) was observed with selinexor. We evaluated the clinical benefit of selinexor in patients with previously treated DD-LPS whose sarcoma progressed on approved agents. METHODS SEAL was a phase II-III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients age 12 years or older with advanced DD-LPS who had received two-five lines of therapy were randomly assigned (2:1) to selinexor (60 mg) or placebo twice weekly in 6-week cycles (crossover permitted). The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Patients who received at least one dose of study treatment were included for safety analysis. (Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02606461 .) RESULTS Two hundred eighty-five patients were enrolled (selinexor, n = 188; placebo, n = 97). PFS was significantly longer with selinexor versus placebo: hazard ratio (HR) 0.70 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.95; one-sided P = .011; medians 2.8 v 2.1 months), as was time to next treatment: HR 0.50 (95% CI, 0.37 to 0.66; one-sided P < .0001; medians 5.8 v 3.2 months). With crossover, no difference was observed in overall survival. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events of any grade versus grade 3 or 4 with selinexor were nausea (151 [80.7%] v 11 [5.9]), decreased appetite (113 [60.4%] v 14 [7.5%]), and fatigue (96 [51.3%] v 12 [6.4%]). Four (2.1%) and three (3.1%) patients died in the selinexor and placebo arms, respectively. Exploratory RNA sequencing analysis identified that the absence of CALB1 expression was associated with longer PFS with selinexor compared with placebo (median 6.9 v 2.2 months; HR, 0.19; P = .001). CONCLUSION Patients with advanced, refractory DD-LPS showed improved PFS and time to next treatment with selinexor compared with placebo. Supportive care and dose reductions mitigated side effects of selinexor. Prospective validation of CALB1 expression as a predictive biomarker for selinexor in DD-LPS is warranted.
PURPOSE Selinexor inhibits exportin-1 (XPO1) resulting in nuclear accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins including p53 and has clinical activity in endometrial cancer (EC). The primary end point was to assess progression-free survival (PFS) with once-weekly oral selinexor in patients with advanced or recurrent EC. PATIENTS AND METHODS ENGOT-EN5/GOG-3055/SIENDO was a randomized, prospective, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study at 107 sites in 10 countries. Patients 18 years or older with histologically confirmed EC were enrolled. All had completed a single line of at least 12 weeks of taxane-platinum combination chemotherapy and achieved partial or complete response. Patients were assigned to receive 80 mg oral selinexor once weekly or placebo with 2:1 random assignment (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03555422 ). RESULTS Between January 2018 and December 2021, 263 patients were randomly assigned, with 174 allocated to selinexor and 89 to placebo. The median PFS was 5.7 months (95% CI, 3.81 to 9.20) with selinexor versus 3.8 months (95% CI, 3.68 to 7.39) with placebo (hazard ratio [HR], 0.76 [95% CI, 0.54 to 1.08]; two-sided P = .126), which did not meet the criteria for statistical significance in the intent-to-treat population. Incorrect chemotherapy response stratification data for 7 (2.7%) patients were identified. In a prespecified exploratory analysis of PFS in audited stratification data, PFS for selinexor met the threshold for statistical significance (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.499 to 0.996; two-sided P = .049). Furthermore, patients with the TP53 wild-type (wt) EC had a median PFS of 13.7 and 3.7 months with selinexor and placebo. The most common grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were nausea (9%), neutropenia (9%), and thrombocytopenia (7%). CONCLUSION The significance level for PFS was only met in the audited analysis. However, a preliminary analysis of a prespecified exploratory subgroup of patients with TP53wt EC showed promising results with selinexor maintenance therapy.
TPS5610 Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Options for advanced or recurrent EC following platinum-based therapy and/or radiotherapy are limited and prognosis remains poor. Selinexor is a novel, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) which forces nuclear retention and activation of tumor suppressor proteins. Selinexor in combination with low dose dexamethasone is approved for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In addition, selinexor monotherapy has demonstrated broad activity in other hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. In a phase 2 study, 50 mg/m2 (̃80 mg) selinexor administered twice weekly demonstrated a disease control rate ( SD ≥ 12 weeks or a PR) of 35% with 2 confirmed partial responses among 23 heavily pretreated EC patients); similar results were observed in 60 pts with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer (median 5 prior regimens, ORR 8%, DCR 30%) (Vergote I et al. Gynecol Oncol 2020). In the absence of approved maintenance therapies, we conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of selinexor compared with placebo as maintenance therapy in patients with advanced or recurrent EC following platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 study in patients in partial (PR) or complete remission (CR) after completing at least 12 weeks of taxane-platinum combination therapy for primary Stage IV disease and recurrent disease (i.e., relapse after primary therapy for early stage disease including surgery and/or adjuvant therapy). A total of 248 patients will be enrolled at 80 sites in Europe, North America, and Israel. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either maintenance therapy with 80 mg oral selinexor once weekly or placebo. Stratification factors include primary Stage IV versus first recurrence at the time of taxane-platinum therapy and disease status after chemotherapy (PR vs CR). Treatment will continue until disease progression. The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include disease-specific survival, overall survival, time to first subsequent therapy, time to second subsequent therapy, PFS on subsequent therapy and safety and tolerability. The study is currently open and enrolling patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03555422.
