Selinexor in Treating Participants with Advanced Thymic Epithelial Tumor
This phase II trial studies how well selinexor works in treating participants with thymic epithelial tumor that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth.
Inclusion Criteria
- Histologically confirmed advanced TET (thymoma)
- Progression after primary chemotherapy
- No more than two previous lines (neoadjuvant or chemoradiotherapy will count as one line if disease progression has occurred within 6 months)
- Inoperable per local Investigator (Masaoka stage III or IV)
- Progression after treatment with least one platinum containing chemotherapy regimen
- Measurable disease (RECIST 1.1)
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) =< 2
- Patients must have recovered from the toxic effects of prior therapy at the time of initiation of the study drug unless toxicity is stable
- A 4 weeks or five half-lives interval from any investigational agents or cytotoxic chemotherapy to start of study is required (whichever is shorter)
- Signed informed consent
- Total white blood cell count (WBC) >= 3000/mm^3
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/mm^3
- Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^2
- Hemoglobin >= 9.0 gm/dL
- Bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) or ALT < 5.0 times ULN in the presence of liver metastases
- Creatinine clearance > 30 ml/min according to Cockcroft-Gault
- Patients of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate birth control during and for 3 months after participation in this study
Exclusion Criteria
- No significant medical illness that in the investigator’s opinion cannot be adequately controlled with appropriate therapy or would compromise the patient’s ability to tolerate this therapy, including * Unstable cardiovascular function * Known active hepatitis A, B, or C infection; or known to be positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) or hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (hepatitis B virus [HBV] surface antigen) * Markedly decreased visual acuity * Active infection requiring intravenous antibiotics
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding
- Symptomatic brain metastasis requiring corticosteroids
- Uncontrolled autoimmune disorders. Patients with autoimmune disorders under control on medication may be included. Patients with pure red cell aplasia may be included if hemoglobin levels are relatively stable on transfusions or medication
- Significantly diseased or obstructed gastrointestinal tract, malabsorption, uncontrolled vomiting or diarrhea or inability to swallow oral medications
- No dehydration of National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade >= 1
- Serious psychiatric or medical conditions that could interfere with treatment
- No history of organ allograft
- No concurrent therapy with approved or investigational anticancer therapeutics

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the efficacy of selinexor in adults with thymic epithelial tumor (TET)s determined by overall response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) in two parallel cohorts of patients with advanced thymomas progressing after primary chemotherapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the efficacy of selinexor in adults with TETs determined by overall response rate according to modified International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG) response criteria.
II. To determine the overall response rate of selinexor in patients with advanced thymomas.
III. To determine six months progression free survival (PFS) of patients with TET treated with selinexor.
IV. To determine overall survival of patients with TET treated with selinexor.
V. To evaluate exploratory biomarkers for prediction of response to selinexor in patients with TET.
VI. To determine progression free survival in patients with advanced, inoperable TETs treated with selinexor
VII. To evaluate safety and tolerability of selinexor.
OUTLINE:
Participants receive selinexor orally (PO) twice weekly for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months.
