Selinexor with Bispecific Antibody Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well adding selinexor along with standard of care bispecific antibody therapy (with teclistamab, elranatamab or talquetamab) works to treat patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). The growth of normal human cells is controlled in many ways. Cancer cells escape these mechanisms and grow uncontrollably. One way cancer cells continue to grow is by getting rid of proteins called “tumor suppressor proteins” that would normally cause cancer cells to die. Selinexor works by trapping these “tumor suppressor proteins” within the cell nucleus, which is expected to cause the cancer cells to die or stop growing. Teclistamab, elranatamab and talquetamab are bispecific antibodies. A bispecific antibody is an antibody that can target both cancer cells and immune cells at the same time, helping the immune cells attack the cancer cells. Giving selinexor along with standard of care bispecific antibody therapy may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
