Selinexor Maintenance Treatment After CAR-T Cell Therapy (Cilta-cel) for Triple-class Exposed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
This phase I trial tests the effect of maintenance treatment with selinexor after receiving ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) in patients with multiple myeloma that have received three classes of treatment (triple-class exposed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Cilta-cel is a type of cellular immunotherapy called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. CAR-T cell therapy is a standard treatment for people with multiple myeloma that has come back after other treatments. There is currently no standard treatment given after CAR-T cell therapy to help make it more effective (maintenance treatment). Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor. Giving selinexor maintenance therapy after cilta-cel CAR-T cell therapy may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with triple-class exposed or refractory multiple myeloma.

- The effects of selinexor on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) of selinexor, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days after completion of selinexor. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study or should a man suspect he has fathered a child, s/he must inform her treating physician immediately
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign an institutional review board (IRB) approved written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants
Exclusion Criteria

- Confirmed progressive disease by IMWG after CAR-T administration
- Unresolved cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or CAR-T neurologic toxicity
- Any unresolved non-hematologic grade ≥ 3 treatment-related toxicity from CAR-T
- Administration or planned administration of any other concomitant chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy which would be considered a treatment of multiple myeloma from day 28 post-CAR-T cell therapy through discontinuation from study treatment * Note: patients may be on corticosteroids if they are being given for disorders other than multiple myeloma (e.g., adrenal insufficiency, rheumatoid arthritis)
- Has received selinexor or another XPO1 inhibitor post-CART
- Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator’s opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol
- Prior organ transplant requiring immunosuppressive therapy
- Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy that does NOT meet that definition are eligible for this trial
- Currently receiving any other investigational agents
- A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to selinexor or other agents used in the study
- Active gastrointestinal dysfunction interfering with the patient’s ability to swallow tablets, or any active gastrointestinal dysfunction that could interfere with absorption of study treatment

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and toxicity of selinexor maintenance following B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T therapy (cilta-cel) in patients with triple-class exposed or refractory multiple myeloma with high risk of relapse.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine myeloma response by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria and measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity rate by clonoSEQ at 6 and 12 months after CAR-T.
TERTIARY/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine myeloma response by IMWG criteria and MRD negativity rate by clonoSEQ sensitive to 10^-5 and 10^-6 at 24 months after CAR-T.
II. To determine myeloma response by IMWG criteria and MRD negativity rate by clonoSEQ sensitive to 10^-6 at 6 and 12 months after CAR-T.
III. To assess CAR-T cell persistence.
IV. To determine myeloma response by soluble BCMA.
OUTLINE:
Beginning 30 days post-cilta-cel infusion, patients with high risk myeloma and MRD positive myeloma receive selinexor orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Beginning day 60 post-cilta-cel infusion and after confirmation of MRD positive disease, patients with standard risk myeloma receive selinexor PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo urine and blood sample collection, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy throughout the study. Patients also undergo positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) at 6 months and 1 year post-cilta-cel infusion.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 4 months for up to 24 months from the start of selinexor.
