Invited to Present Updated Endometrial Cancer Data During Special Session "ASCO Plenary Series: Rapid Abstract Updates" NEWTON, Mass., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today announced that several abstracts detailing new selinexor data have been selected for presentation at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (2024 ASCO Annual Meeting) being held May 31 - June 4 in Chicago, IL. The Company is pleased to have received an invitation to present updated Endometrial Cancer data during a special session called "ASCO Plenary Series: Rapid Abstract Updates." A highlight at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting includes a rapid oral abstract update of long-term follow-up of selinexor maintenance in patients with TP53wt advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer – a pre-specified subgroup analysis from the Phase 3 ENGOT-EN5/GOG-3055/SIENDO Study. "As we follow the endometrial cancer patients whose tumors are TP53wt and evaluate the long-term benefit, our confidence for selinexor to provide meaningful benefit for patients continues to grow," said Reshma Rangwala, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Karyopharm. "We are excited about the advancement of our three, phase three programs in areas of high unmet need in endometrial cancer, myelofibrosis, and multiple myeloma." Details for the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting abstracts are as follows: About XPOVIO® (selinexor) XPOVIO is a first-in-class, oral exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor and the first of Karyopharm's Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compounds to be approved for the treatment of cancer. XPOVIO functions by selectively binding to and inhibiting the nuclear export protein XPO1. XPOVIO is approved in the U.S. and marketed by Karyopharm in multiple oncology indications, including: (i) in combination with Velcade® (bortezomib) and dexamethasone (XVd) in patients with multiple myeloma after at least one prior therapy; (ii) in combination with dexamethasone in patients with heavily pre-treated multiple myeloma; and (iii) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma, after at least two lines of systemic therapy. XPOVIO (also known as NEXPOVIO® in certain countries) has received regulatory approvals in a growing number of ex-U.S. territories and countries, including Europe, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Australia, Canada, Taiwan and Macau and is marketed in those areas by Karyopharm's global partners. Selinexor is also being investigated in several other mid- and late-stage clinical trials across multiple high unmet need cancer indications, including in endometrial cancer and myelofibrosis.

In combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least two proteasome inhibitors, at least two immunomodulatory agents, and an anti‐CD38 monoclonal antibody (Xd). For the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma, after at least two lines of systemic therapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate.

The guidance recommends the use of small molecule Nexpovio (selinexor) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone for eligible patients who have undergone 1 or 2 prior treatments. This recommendation is poised to fill crucial gaps in the treatment pathway, potentially making over a thousand patients eligible for a therapy that could delay cancer progression and extend survival. Dr. Neil Rabin, consultant hematologist at University College London Hospitals, hailed the decision as a significant advancement in addressing the unmet needs of myeloma patients. He said: “Being able to use different treatments that work in a variety of ways is critically important to help evade and overcome the cancer’s defense mechanisms. Today’s news has enabled just that and means we now have a new way to treat this complex and challenging blood cancer.” Multiple myeloma Multiple myeloma, often referred to as 'myeloma,' remains incurable for the majority of patients, necessitating multiple lines of treatment. “Despite advances in treatment, most patients relapse and will require multiple lines of treatment. Therefore, it is critical to have as many different treatment options as possible that target the cancer cells in different ways to maximize the possibility of patients responding to treatment, and helping keep the cancer at bay,” says Nelluri Geetha, pharma analyst at GlobalData. Shelagh McKinlay, director of research and advocacy at Myeloma UK, lauded the decision as a victory for the myeloma community, highlighting Nexpovio's novel mechanism of action, which differs from existing treatments. googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('text-ad1'); }); “This treatment’s novel mechanism of action means it can help fight myeloma in a completely different way to other currently available treatments. Until we have a cure, it is absolutely vital that all patients are given as many options to tackle their cancer as possible – no matter where they are on their treatment journey,” she says. Nexpovio functions by restoring the body's anti-cancer defense mechanisms, particularly by blocking the action of exportin 1 (XPO1), a protein found in high amounts in myeloma cells. Rick Coope, general manager at Menarini Stemline UK, is pleased with the collaboration between the industry, NICE, and the myeloma community. Improving outcomes for myeloma patients He said: “We are incredibly proud that in Menarini Stemline’s first engagement with NICE, we have successfully reached an agreement for two appraisals – and three lines of therapy - in such a short period.” The company says the recommendation of Nexpovio by NICE represents a significant milestone in addressing treatment gaps and improving outcomes for multiple myeloma patients in the UK. Coope added: “Today’s announcement is a significant development for the myeloma community and shows what is possible with true collaboration between industry, NICE, and the myeloma patient and physician community.” NICE's recommendation not only highlights its potential to address significant unmet needs in myeloma treatment but also underscores the importance of ongoing collaboration between stakeholders in advancing patient care and access to innovative therapies.
