Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma | Drug: Selinexor Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
In the Phase 2 portion of the study, 57 patients were randomized to selinexor (60 mg) or placebo at a 1:1 allocation ratio.
In the Phase 3 portion of the study, approximately 285 patients will be randomized to selinexor (60 mg) or placebo with a 2:1 allocation ratio.
Patients who progress during the blinded portion of the study will be unblinded and if receiving:
- placebo, may cross over to open-label selinexor (60mg twice-weekly)
- selinexor, will be withdrawn from further treatment and followed for survival
Study treatment will be given twice-weekly on Day 1 and Day 3 during Weeks 1-6 of each six-week (42 day) cycle until disease progression or intolerability.
Treatment will continue until one or more of the following occurs:
- Disease progression, as defined by RECIST v1.1 Response Criteria
- Clinical progression, as determined by the treating physician
- Unacceptable adverse events (AEs) or failure to tolerate study treatment
- Patient withdrawal
- Patient discontinuation due to non-compliance

- Phase 3 Double Blind: Change From Baseline in Quality-of-life Questionnaire 30 Item (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 1387 ]The QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life of patients with cancer. QLQ-C30 contains 30 questions that include five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, social, and cognitive functioning); three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting and pain); six single-item symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties); and global health status/quality of life (QoL). Most questions used a 4-point scale (from 1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'); 2 questions used a 7-point scale (from 1 'very poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores were averaged and transformed to a 0-100 scale. For the functional scales and the global health status/QoL, a higher score represents a better level of functioning (better health status); for the symptom scales/items, a higher score represents a higher level of symptomatology/problems (worse health status).
