Cytarabine and Daunorubicin Hydrochloride with or without Selinexor in Treating Older Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Trial Status: active

This randomized phase II trial studies how well cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride with or without selinexor work in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride with selinexor may kill more cancer cells in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
