Correct for concurrent hyperglycemia and high serum paraprotein levels. Manage with dose interruption, reduction, or discontinuation, and supportive care ( 2.4 , 5.4 ). Serious Infection : Monitor for infection and treat promptly ( 5.2 , 5.5 ). Neurological Toxicity : Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities until neurological toxicity resolves. Optimize hydration status and concomitant medications to avoid dizziness or mental status changes ( 5.6 ). Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with a female partner of reproductive potential, of the potential risk to a fetus and use of effective contraception ( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ). Cataract : Cataracts may develop or progress. Treatment of cataracts usually requires surgical removal of the cataract ( 5.8 ). 5.1 Thrombocytopenia XPOVIO can cause life-threatening thrombocytopenia, potentially leading to hemorrhage. Thrombocytopenia is the leading cause of dosage modifications [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 100 mg once weekly (BOSTON, n=195), thrombocytopenia was reported in 92% of patients and severe (Grade 3-4) thrombocytopenia was reported in 43% of patients. The median time to first onset was 22 days for any grade thrombocytopenia and 43 days for Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia. Bleeding occurred in 16% of patients with thrombocytopenia, clinically significant bleeding (Grade ≥3 bleeding) occurred in 4% of patients with thrombocytopenia, and fatal hemorrhage occurred in 2% of patients with thrombocytopenia. Permanent discontinuations of XPOVIO due to thrombocytopenia occurred in 2% of patients. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 80 mg twice weekly (STORM, n=202), thrombocytopenia was reported as an adverse reaction in 74% of patients and severe (Grade 3-4) thrombocytopenia was reported in 61% of patients. The median time to onset of the first event was 22 days. Bleeding occurred in 23% of patients with thrombocytopenia, clinically significant bleeding occurred in 5% of patients with thrombocytopenia, and fatal hemorrhage occurred in 150 mg/dL) and high serum paraprotein levels. Assess hydration status and manage hyponatremia per clinical guidelines, including intravenous saline and/or salt tablets as appropriate and dietary review. Interrupt, reduce dose or permanently discontinue based on severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. 5.5 Serious Infection XPOVIO can cause serious and fatal infections. Most of these infections were not associated with Grade 3 or higher neutropenia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 100 mg once weekly (BOSTON, n=195), 69% of patients experienced any grade of infection. Grade ≥3 infections were reported in 32% of patients, and deaths from infections occurred in 3.1% of patients. The most frequently reported Grade ≥3 infection was pneumonia in 14% of patients, followed by sepsis in 4.1% and upper respiratory tract infection in 3.6% of patients. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 80 mg twice weekly (STORM, n=202), 52% of patients experienced any grade of infection. Grade ≥3 infections were reported in 25% of patients, and deaths from infections occurred in 4% of …

Multiple Myeloma XPOVIO in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (XVd) The safety of XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone was evaluated in BOSTON [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were randomized to receive XPOVIO 100 mg orally once weekly in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) (n=195) or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) (n=204). Among patients who received XPOVIO, the median duration of XPOVIO treatment was 29 weeks (range: 1 to 120 weeks) and the median dose was 80 mg (range: 30 to 137 mg) per week. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Serious adverse reactions in >3% of patients included pneumonia (14%), sepsis, diarrhea and vomiting (4% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients within 30 days of last treatment, including pneumonia (n=3) and sepsis (n=3). Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, a pre-specified key secondary endpoint, was lower in the XVd arm (21%) compared to the Vd arm (34%); odds ratio 0.50 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.79]. The median treatment duration was 30 weeks (range: 1-120 weeks) in patients who received once weekly XVd as compared to 32 weeks (range: 1-122 weeks) in patients who received twice weekly Vd. Permanent discontinuation of XPOVIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of XPOVIO in >2% of patients included fatigue (3.6%), nausea (3.1%), thrombocytopenia, decreased appetite, peripheral neuropathy, and vomiting (2.1% each). Dosage interruptions of XPOVIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 83% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >5% of patients included thrombocytopenia (33%), fatigue (13%), asthenia (12%), pneumonia (11%), upper respiratory tract infection (10%), decreased appetite (9%), neutropenia (8%), pyrexia (8%), nausea (7%), bronchitis (7%), diarrhea (6%), weight decreased (6%), and anemia (5%). Dose reductions of XPOVIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 64% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in >5% of patients included thrombocytopenia (31%), decreased appetite (8%), nausea, fatigue, weight decreased (7% each), and asthenia (6%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20% with a dif …

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed ( 8.2 ). 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of selinexor to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at exposures that were below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the risks to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, daily oral administration of selinexor at 0, 0.25, 0.75, or 2 mg/kg throughout organogenesis caused incomplete or delayed ossification, skeletal variations, and reduced fetal weight compared with controls at a dose of 0.75 mg/kg (approximately 0.08-fold of human area under the curve [AUC] at the recommended dose). Malformations were observed at 2 mg/kg, including microphthalmia, fetal edema, malpositioned kidney, and persistent truncus arteriosus. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of selinexor or its metabolites in human milk, or their effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating XPOVIO [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise males with a female partner of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility Females and Males Based on findings in animals, XPOVIO may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of XPOVIO have not been established in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use In BOSTON, of the 195 patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, 56% were 65 years of age and older, while 17% were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. When comparing patients 65 years of age and older to younger patients, older patients had a higher incidence of discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (28% vs 13%) and a higher incidence of serious adverse reactions (56% vs 47%). In STORM, of the 202 patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO, 49% were 65 years of age and older, while 11% were 75 years of age and older. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed in patients over 65 years of age, including patients over 75 years of age, when compared with younger patients. When comparing patients 75 years of age and older to younger patients, older patients had a higher incidence of discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (44% vs 27%), higher incidence of serious adverse reactions (70% vs 58%), and higher incidence of fatal adverse reactions (17% vs 9%). 8.6 Hepatic Im …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action In nonclinical studies, selinexor reversibly inhibits nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs), growth regulators, and mRNAs of oncogenic proteins by blocking exportin 1 (XPO1). XPO1 inhibition by selinexor leads to accumulation of TSPs in the nucleus and reductions in several oncoproteins, such as c-myc and cyclin D1, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis of cancer cells. Selinexor demonstrated pro-apoptotic activity in vitro in multiple myeloma cells and showed anti-tumor activity in murine xenograft models of multiple myeloma. The combination of selinexor and dexamethasone or bortezomib demonstrated synergistic cytotoxic effects in multiple myeloma in vitro and increased anti-tumor activity in murine xenograft multiple myeloma models in vivo, including those resistant to proteasome inhibitors.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: SELINEXOR. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
