Selinexor in Combination with Carfilzomib, Daratumumab or Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Patients with Multiple Myeloma Relapsing on Current Therapy
This phase II trial studies how well selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab or pomalidomide, and dexamethasone works for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that is relapsing on current therapy. Selinexor is in a class of medications called selective inhibitors of nuclear export. It works by blocking a protein called CRM1, which may keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Carfilzomib is a type of drug called a proteasome inhibitor that works by marking damaged proteins that are needed to be destroyed by the cell for survival which may kill cancer cells. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Pomalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells and by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving selinexor with carfilzomib, daratumumab or pomalidomide, and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma that is relapsing on current therapy.
Inclusion Criteria

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate the efficacy (overall response rate [ORR]) for treatment with selinexor in combination with pomalidomide or carfilzomib in patients with MM who are relapsing or are refractory to their current carfilzomib or pomalidomide based regimen.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Duration of response (DOR = duration from first observation of at least partial response (PR) to time of disease progression, or death due to disease progression, whichever occurs first. DOR will be censored for death due to any causes other than disease progression).
II. Clinical benefit rate (CBR = stringent complete response (sCR) + complete response (CR) + very good partial response (VGPR) + PR + minimal response [MR]), and duration of clinical benefit (Duration from first observation of at least MR to time of disease progression or death due to disease progression, whichever occurs first).
III. Rate of achievement of minimal residual disease (MRD) by multiparametric flow cytometry.
IV. Disease control rate (DCR = CBR + stable disease [SD; for a minimum of 12 weeks]).
V. Progression free survival (PFS = duration from start of study treatment to PD or death [regardless of cause], whichever comes first).
VI. Time to progression (TTP = duration from start of study treatment to time of disease progression or death due to disease progression, whichever comes first) obtained with selinexor plus dexamethasone versus (vs.) TTP on most recent prior therapy.
VII. Time to next treatment (TTNT).
VIII. Overall survival (OS = Duration from start of study treatment to death).
XI. Safety and tolerability using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version (v) 4.03.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate ORR, PFS, DOR, and TTP in patients receiving the combination of selinexor, daratumumab, and dexamethasone who are relapsing or refractory to a daratumumab-based regimen.
II. To evaluate changes in the immune cell subsets and phenotype as well as in microbiome diversity in patients treated with selinexor-pomalidomide-dexamethasone (dex), selinexor-carfilzomib-dex, and selinexor-daratumumab-dex.
III. To identify molecular (genomic, metabolic, proteomic) determinants of response or resistance to selinexor in the treatment combinations to define novel predictive and pharmacodynamics biomarkers and understand mechanism of action of selinexor.
CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify predictive factors for clinical response to selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide or daratumumab.
II. To identify risk factors for selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide or daratumumab induced adverse events.
III. To correlate baseline and on-treatment immune profiles and correlate with ORR/PD.
IV. To determine if any peripheral blood laboratory values during patient’s routine clinical care are associated with ORR/PD or risk for treatment-related adverse events.
V. To correlate baseline and on-treatment molecular profiles of patients treated with selinexor in combination with ORR/PD.
VI. To identify mechanisms of de novo or acquired resistance to selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide or daratumumab.
VII. To identify intestinal microbiota associated biomarkers that predict response.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive selinexor orally (PO), carfilzomib intravenously (IV), and dexamethasone either PO or IV on study.
ARM II: Patients receive selinexor PO, pomalidomide PO, and dexamethasone either PO or IV on study.
ARM III: Patients receive selinexor PO, daratumumab IV or subcutaneously (SC), and dexamethasone either PO or IV on study.
Patients undergo echocardiogram or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan, bone marrow biopsy, and blood and stool sample collection throughout the study. Patients may undergo X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography (PET) scan throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 14 days and then every 3 months thereafter.
