Phase 1/2 Trial of Selinexor in Combination With Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone ± Carfilzomib for Patients With Proteasome-Inhibitor and Immunomodulatory Drug Refractory Multiple Myeloma (SCOPE)


Description

This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose and side effects of selinexor, and how well it works when given in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) and does not respond to treatment with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (refractory). Selinexor is an oral agent that blocks a protein called Exportin 1 (XPO1 or CRM1) that is abundant in a wide variety of cancers, including multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pomalidomide may stop the growth of blood vessels, stimulate the immune system, and kill cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone may lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. The addition of selinexor may allow better control of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma than is possible with po

Trial Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>= 18 years * Diagnosis of RRMM with progressive disease at study entry as per the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) uniform criteria * Measurable disease by IMWG criteria as defined by at least one of the following: * Serum M-protein \>= 0.5 g/dL * Urine M-protein \>= 200 mg in a 24-hour collection * Serum free light chain level \>= 10 mg/dL provided the free light chain ratio is abnormal * For patients with extramedullary measurable disease (EMD) by CT or MRI or the CT portion of the PET/CT: Must have at least one lesion that has a single diameter of \>= 2 cm. Skin lesions can be used if the area is \>= 2cm in at least one diameter and measured with a ruler * Bone marrow plasma cells \>= 30% * Patients with IgA myeloma in whom serum protein electrophoresis is deemed unreliable, due to co-migration of normal serum proteins with the para protein in the beta region, may be considered eligible as long as total serum IgA level is elevated above normal range * Prior treatment: * Arm A: At least one of the following must be true: (1) Subjects must have been previously treated with at least 3 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) (2) Subjects who are refractory to carfilzomib and/or pomalidomide may enroll in Arm A using the quadruplet regimen, SKPd, provided carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (KPd) triplet is not the most recent line of prior therapy and that they have been previously treated with at least 3 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an IMiD. Carfilzomib/Pomalidomide refractory status is defined by the IMWG criteria: disease that is nonresponsive (stable disease \[SD\] or progressive disease \[PD\]) while on therapy, or progresses within 60 days of last therapy in patients who have achieved minimal response (MR) or better at some point previously before then progressing in their disease course. * Arm B: Subjects must have progressive disease and been exposed to up to 2 prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and lenalidomide * Provide written informed consent * Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the active monitoring phase of the study) and ability to adhere with the study visit schedule and other protocol procedures * Willingness to provide mandatory tissue specimens for correlative research * Willingness to use fixed-duration therapy (up to 18 cycles) for relapsed refractory multiple myeloma * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1 or 2 * Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance * Willingness to provide mandatory blood specimens for correlative research * Calculated creatinine clearance (using Cockcroft-Gault equation) \>= 15 mL/min (obtained =\< 14 days prior to registration) * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1500/uL(without growth factor support for \>= 7 days ( obtained =\< 14 days prior to registration) * Un-transfused Platelet count \>= 100,000/uL (without platelet transfusion for \>= 14 days) for SKPd and \>= 100,000 (without platelet transfusion for \>= 7 days) for SPd is permitted. Additionally, for both Arms A and B platelet count of \>= 75,000/uL is permitted if thrombocytopenia is deemed by the investigator to be secondary to severe bone marrow infiltration (\>= 50%) by myeloma as determined * Hemoglobin \>= 8.0 g/dL Note: Screening hemoglobin should be independent of red blood cell transfusion for at least 3 days prior to screening * Total bilirubin =\< 2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN). Note: Patients with Gilbert's syndrome who must have a total bilirubin of \< 3 times ULN * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =\< 2.5 x ULN * Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR)/activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =\< 1.5 x ULN * Note: If patient is receiving warfarin and INR should be within 2-3 * Negative serum pregnancy test done =\<7 days prior to registration, for persons of childbearing potential only * Willingness to follow strict birth control measures as suggested by the study: Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for 28 days prior to starting pomalidomide, during the course of the study, during any dose interruptions, and through 30 days after last dose of pomalidomide and carfilzomib. Female subjects of child bearing potential are those who 1) have achieved menarche at some point, 2) have not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 3) have not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject. Male subjects must agree to practice abstinence or use an effective barrier method of contraception starting with the first dose of carfilzomib or pomalidomide through 6 months after last dose of pomalidomide and carfilzomib if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential. Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the subject. Other acceptable methods of contraception are condoms with contraceptive foam, oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicidal gel, or a sexual partner who is surgically sterilized or post-menopausal. All subjects must agree to follow the local requirements for pomalidomide counseling, pregnancy testing, and birth control; and be willing and able to comply with the local requirements (for example, periodic pregnancy tests, safety labs, etc.) * Willingness to follow the requirements of the Pomalyst Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program * Able to swallow capsules and able to take and tolerate oral medications on a continuous basis Exclusion Criteria: * History of myocardial infarction =\< 6 months prior to pre-registration, or congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
