Interview Date: July 31, 2019
Selinexor, by Karyopharm, was recently approved in the myeloma clinic for use in myeloma patients who have relapsed after other lines of standard myeloma treatment. Learn why selinexor was approved early, when it should be considered, how it can be best combined and how to manage side effects early and successfully. Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute joins Myeloma Crowd radio to share how early FDA access approval works and why this drug was selected for early approval. For myeloma patients who have relapsed after proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators and monoclonal antibodies, selinexor provides another option for effective care.
