Selinexor Support Group Launch
Selinexor Support Group Launch  image
Selinexor Treatment Information Chapter
event Jan 27, 2021 / 11:00AM - 12:00PM MST

Event Description

Are you or a loved one currently taking Selinexor as a part of your myeloma treatment regimen? This is a relatively new drug in the myeloma arsenal and both patients and providers are not very familiar with how to use it in the clinic. We are launching this group to provide support to patients on Selinexor and their caregivers. Hear from Dr. Jatin Shah, CMO of Karyopharm, speak about Selinexor, its approval process, and side effect management. While this event will be a formal presentation, future meetings within this chapter will be more of a casual conversation that will include several patients advocates who will help moderate a group discussion as we cover a wide breadth of Selinexor topics.
