Selinexor With Combination With Induction/Consolidation Therapy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients
United States57 participantsStarted 2018-02-02
Plain-language summary
This pilot phase II trial studies how well selinexor works when given together with induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapy in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Selinexor with induction, consolidation, and maintenance therapy may kill more cancer cells in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must have histologically or cytologically documented newly diagnosed de novo Acute Myeloid Leukemia (non-APL) that has not yet been treated. Hydrea,cytarabine and ATRA previous treatments are acceptable.
* Patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (ie AML with t(8;21) or t(16;16) or i16) are not eligible.
* Patients must not have a secondary AML (defined as a history of prior radiation therapy or systemic chemotherapy, CMML or MDS not treated with a hypomethylating agent) however history of previous MDS treated with a hypomethylating agent IS allowed.
* Patients with de novo AML must not have partial or total monosomy 5 or 7 or i(17q) or t(17p). Negative FISH studies are sufficient for enrollment (i.e. FISH for -5, -7, +8, inv(16), t(8;21) and 17p).
* Patients must not have mutated FLT3 (either ITD OR TKD mutations).
* Hydroxyurea, leukapheresis or cytarabine may be used to control leukocytosis, provided that it is without Grade \>2 non-hematologic toxicity, and can be taken until start of therapy.
* Age \>18 years.
* ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 and fit for induction therapy in the opinion of the treating physician.
* Laboratory values ≤2 weeks must be:
* AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT)≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
* Bilirubin ≤ 2 X ULN (3X if known history of Gilbert'syndrome)
* Creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be \> 20 mL/min
* Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 40% by MUGA or ECHO.
* Female pati…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is in Phase 2 and is measuring overall survival — what does that tell us about how much is already known about whether selinexor is safe and effective when added to standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy for AML?
2Since the trial is no longer recruiting new patients, does that mean I wouldn't be able to join it, and if so, are there other trials or treatment paths that involve selinexor or similar approaches that we should be looking into?
3How does adding selinexor on top of the standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy regimen change the side effect profile compared to just getting the standard chemotherapy alone?
4Given that this is a Phase 2 trial focused on overall survival as its main goal, would you recommend I consider standard AML treatment first, or is there a clinical reason why a trial like this might be worth pursuing before or instead of standard care?
5What would my treatment schedule actually look like if I were on a study like this — how many hospital visits, infusions, or monitoring appointments would be involved on top of the chemotherapy itself?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
