January 30, 2026 updated by: Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc

A Phase 2b, Open-label, Multi-arm Clinical Trial of Selinexor Plus Low-dose Dexamethasone (Sd) in Patients With Penta-refractory Multiple Myeloma or Selinexor and Bortezomib Plus Low-dose Dexamethasone (SVd) in Patients With Triple-class Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, antitumor activity, safety and tolerability of selinexor plus low-dose dexamethasone in participants with penta-refractory multiple myeloma or selinexor and bortezomib plus low-dose dexamethasone in participants with triple-class refractory multiple myeloma.
