Summary

  • This summary is based on the review of seven systematic review(s)/meta-analysis(es). [1-7]
  • Selinexor demonstrated an overall clinical benefit rate of 56.21% in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 46.91%, complete response rate of 4.89%, very good partial response rate of 23.41%, partial response rate of 24.68%, and stable disease rate of 28.06%.
  • The effectiveness of selinexor was significantly higher when used as a fifth-line therapy or earlier, yielding an ORR of 65.9% and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 12.5 months compared to post-fifth-line usage, which had an ORR of 23.4% and median PFS of 2.9 months (p<0.01).
  • Selinexor showed enhanced efficacy when combined with dexamethasone and proteasome inhibitors or immunomodulatory drugs, leading to better ORRs (56.1% and 52.5%) compared to the selinexor-only regimen (24.6%, p<0.01), while also demonstrating effectiveness in the high-risk cytogenetic subgroup (+1q) without performance degradation in patients with advanced disease.
  • Selinexor was associated with a significant discontinuation rate of 16.80% due to safety concerns, indicating potential tolerability issues in patients receiving this treatment.
  • While selinexor demonstrated a durable response and tolerable safety profile when combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in both carfilzomib-naive and carfilzomib-refractory RRMM patients, it showed worse outcomes compared to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and several other recently developed agents in the context of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
