Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Selinexor, all patients; Single Arm Study, all patients will get selinexor

Drug: Selinexor; Selinexor will be administered orally at a dose of 80 mg once weekly until IWG-MR disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or no clinical benefit per treating physician's discretion whichever occurs first. For patients enrolled after Protocol v7, Selinexor will be administered by oral route beginning at 40mg once weekly. . Prior to protocol version 7, the starting dose of sSelinexor was 60 mg and 80 mg once weekly.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change in spleen volume [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]

   To assess the efficacy of selinexor on spleen volume reduction in subjects with myelofibrosis (PMF, PET-MF, or PPV-MF) refractory or intolerant to ruxolitinib and/or any other experimental JAK1/2 inhibitors.

   Change and percentage change in spleen volume from baseline to EOT as measured by MRI or CT (in applicable patients).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Adverse Events that Occur [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]

   To assess the safety/tolerability and further characterize the safety profile of selinexor in PMF, PET-MF, or PPV-MF patients refractory or intolerant to ruxolitinib and/or any other experimental JAK1/2 inhibitors.

   Secondary Endpoints: rate of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

2. Change in symptoms score [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]

   Proportion of patients with ≥ 50% reduction of total symptoms score as measured by the MPN-Symptoms Assessment Form (MPN-SAF) from baseline after 6 cycles of treatment.

   The score will be reported as one mean score of all of the questions in the questionnaire. The higher the score, the worse the symptom.

3. Overall response [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
   Overall response rate according to the 2013 IWG-MRT consensus criteria for treatment response in primary and secondary MF (post-PV and post-ET).
4. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
   Overall survival at 24 months from the initiation of study therapy.

    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 500/mm3
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL
    • Platelet count ≥ 30,000/mm3

For patients receiving transfusion and growth factor support, the following delays must be observed between the last administration and hematologic laboratory screening assessments:

• For hematopoietic growth factor support (including erythropoietin, darbepoetin, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor [G-CSF], granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor [GM-CSF], and platelet stimulators [e.g., eltrombopag, romiplostim, or interleukin-11]): at least 2 weeks.

Growth factor support, RBC and/or platelet transfusions are allowed as clinically indicated per institutional guidelines during the study.

• Hepatic (≤ 28 days prior to C1D1):

  • Total bilirubin < 1.5 × ULN except in patients with indirect hyperbilirubinemia due to hemolysis or with Gilbert's syndrome where total bilirubin should be < 5 × ULN
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 × ULN.

• Renal (within 28 days prior to C1D1):

  • Estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 20 mL/min using the Cockcroft and Gault formula [(140-Age) × Mass (kg)/(72 × creatinine mg/dL), multiply by 0.85 if the patient is female] OR

    • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test (≤ 3 days prior to C1D1).
    • Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 methods of contraception throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment (including 1 highly effective and 1 effective method of contraception as defined in section 7.4)
    • Male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential.
    • Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE v5.0 from toxicities related to any prior treatments including ruxolitinib or other experimental agents unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy.
