Selinexor Plus Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

September 23, 2025 updated by: Dipenkumar Modi, Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute

A Phase 1b/2 Investigator Initiated Study of RCHOP in Combination With Selinexor (KPT-330) in B Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This phase Ib/II trial is aimed at studying the combination of a drug named Selinexor (selective inhibitor of nuclear export) in combination with standard therapy for B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma called R-CHOP. The investigators will establish maximum tolerated dose of Selinexor in combination with RCHOP and also study the efficacy of this combination for therapy of B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Giving Selinexor plus chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will be done in two phases namely phase 1B and phase 2.

In the phase 1B component the investigators intend to enroll patients in a 3+3 dose escalation design. Newly diagnosed indolent and diffuse large cell lymphomas as well as relapsed/refractory indolent B cell lymphomas are eligible for enrollment in the phase 1 component. The primary end-point for this component would be to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for Selinexor in combination with standard dose RCHOP chemotherapy.

In the phase 2 part of the study the investigators will use recommended phase 2 dose of Selinexor plus standard dose RCHOP combination to treat newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with the primary end-point being 2 year Progression free survival.

Maintenance Phase: Patients with Follicular Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma able to achieve PR or better at the end of therapy scan will be put on maintenance Selinexor for a total of one year. The dose of Selinexor in the maintenance phase would be similar to the last dose used for that particular patient in the treatment phase 1 or 2.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum tolerated dose of selinexor in combination with RCHOP chemotherapy defined as =< 1/6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity (Phase Ib)
Time Frame: Up to 21 days
Toxicity grading in both phase 1b and phase 2 parts will be done based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 guidelines. Toxicity data will be collected at least weekly during the course of treatment. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns.
