Karyopharm Updates Phase 2b Data at Conference on Malignant Lymphoma

Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:KPTI), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, today reported updated results from the Phase 2b SADAL (Selinexor Against Diffuse Aggressive Lymphoma) study evaluating selinexor, the Company’s first-in-class, oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compound, in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after at least two prior multi-agent therapies and who are ineligible for transplantation, including high dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue and CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor modified T cell) therapy.  The data were highlighted in an oral presentation at the 2019 International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) being held June 18-22, 2019, in Lugano, Switzerland.
Top-line results for the SADAL study were previously presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2018 Annual Meeting in December 2018.   The results being presented at ICML remain consistent with those reported at ASH and include efficacy results from the final 12 patients who had not reached their first response assessment in time to be included in the previously released top-line efficacy analyses.  For the SADAL study’s primary endpoint, single-agent selinexor achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 28.3%.  Two additional patients achieved a complete response (CR) since the ASH presentation for a total of 13 CRs and a CR rate of 10.2% in these patients with heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory DLBCL.  Key secondary endpoints included a median duration of response (DOR) in the responding patients of 9.2 months and median overall survival (OS) across the entire study population of 9.0 months.
