Selinexor with or without Docetaxel for the Treatment of Stage IV KRAS Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase I/II trial studies the safety and best dose of selinexor with or without docetaxel in treating patients with stage IV KRAS-mutation non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking CRM1, a protein needed for tumor cell survival. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Giving selinexor with or without docetaxel may kill more tumor cells in patients with stage IV KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
Inclusion Criteria
- Written informed consent in accordance with federal, local, and institutional guidelines. The patient must provide informed consent prior to the first screening procedure. However, the investigator should not repeat procedures that are performed as part of standard of care (SOC), if they are within the screening window and are done prior to signing the informed consent form (ICF)

- Tissue available for analysis at time of enrollment for biomarker analysis: 10 unstained slides plus 1 hematoxylin and eosin (H+E) slide. If archival tumor tissue is not available in select cases, subjects may be permitted to enroll on the study with prior approval of the study principal investigator (PI)

- Radiographic or clinical disease recurrence or progression during or after the last line of systemic therapy
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500 cells/uL
- Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL. Patients may be transfused with packed red blood cells (PRBCs) up to 7 days prior to when enrollment labs are drawn to achieve hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 9.0 mg/dL
- Platelets >= 100,000/uL
- Calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
- Total bilirubin =< upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2 x ULN * ALT and/or AST may be =< 5 x ULN if due to liver metastases. If ALT or AST is > 2 and =< 5 x ULN in patients with liver metastases
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 2 x ULN * ALT and/or AST may be =< 5 x ULN if due to liver metastases. If ALT or AST is > 2 and =< 5 x ULN in patients with liver metastases
- Alkaline phosphatase must be =< 2.5 x ULN (unless elevated alkaline phosphatase clearly due to skeletal—rather than hepatic—process; e.g., normal gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), presence of multiple bone metastases, absence of bulky and/or central liver metastases). Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome are allowed if total bilirubin =< 2 x ULN and direct bilirubin is =< ULN
- Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 methods of contraception (including 1 highly effective and 1 effective method of contraception) and have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. Male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential. For both male and female patients, effective methods of contraception must be used throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use 2 reliable methods of contraception throughout the study and for 3 months after their last dose of medication. Female patients are considered NOT of childbearing potential if they have a history of surgical sterility (including hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, but not tubal ligation alone) or evidence of post-menopausal status defined as any of the following: * Natural menopause with last menses > 1 year ago * Radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses > 1 year ago * Chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago Male patients and their partners must use 2 reliable methods of contraception, at least one of them a barrier method (if sexually active with a female of child-bearing potential)
- Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
- Previously treated (surgery and/or radiation therapy) or untreated brain metastases are eligible, provided that patients are asymptomatic and not requiring escalating doses of corticosteroids
- Previous treatment-associated clinically significant toxicities resolved to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade =< 2 (except alopecia) or to their baseline. NOTE: Prior immunotherapy-related endocrinopathy controlled with ongoing medical management (e.g., hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes) is permitted
- At least 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, since receiving systemic anticancer therapy, including investigational agents, prior to starting study therapy. At least 2 weeks since receiving radiation therapy prior to starting study therapy
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who are pregnant or lactating
- Major surgery (excluding skin biopsies and procedures for insertion of central venous access devices) within 2 weeks of first dose of study drug
- Any life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient’s safety
- Concurrent active malignancy that would interfere with treatment administration or assessment in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Unstable cardiovascular function: * Symptomatic ischemia, or * Uncontrolled clinically significant conduction abnormalities (i.e., ventricular tachycardia on anti-arrhythmics is excluded; 1st degree atrioventricular (AV) block or asymptomatic left anterior fascicular block (LAFB)/right bundle branch block (RBBB) are not excluded; asymptomatic rate controlled atrial fibrillation is not excluded), or * Congestive heart failure (CHF) of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class >= 3, or * Myocardial infarction (MI) within 3 months
- Uncontrolled (i.e., clinically unstable) infection requiring parenteral antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within one week prior to first dose; however, prophylactic use of these agents is acceptable even if parenteral
- Pre-existing grade 3 or 4 neuropathy
- Active hepatitis A, B or C infection
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not required as part of this study)
- Patients unable to swallow tablets, patients with malabsorption syndrome, or any other gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI dysfunction that could interfere with absorption of study treatment
- Prior exposure to docetaxel, selinexor, or another selective inhibitor of nuclear transport (SINE) compound. (NOTE: prior docetaxel exposure permitted in selinexor monotherapy cohort)
- Patients unwilling to comply with study protocol

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose for selinexor (KPT) safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of selinexor administered with the standard dose of docetaxel in patients with advanced KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (docetaxel + selinexor cohort).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the efficacy of selinexor monotherapy and in combination with docetaxel in patients with advanced KRAS mutant NSCLC.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To identify predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers of selinexor monotherapy and in combination with docetaxel.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of selinexor followed by a phase II study. Patients are assigned to Cohort I or randomized to 1 of 2 cohorts (Cohorts II and III).
COHORT I: Patients receive selinexor orally (PO) once weekly (QW) beginning on day -7. Patients also receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT II: Patients receive selinexor PO QW in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT III: Patients receive selinexor PO twice weekly (BIW) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.
