Study Summary

This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, phase Ib/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of selinexor in combination with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone) followed by selinexor maintenance for untreated EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients.

  9. Adequate function of the liver and renal: Total bilirubin≤2×upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with liver invasion or Gilbertsyndrome ≤5×ULN) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN (patients with liver invasion ≤5×ULN) Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or creatinineclearance rate ≥60 mL/min
  10. The patients agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the study periodand till 12 months after the last administration of the study treatment.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. EBV-positive DLBCL combined with other types of lymphoma. Transformed DLBCL.
  2. EBV-positive DLBCL with central nervous system invasion.
  3. The patients had previously received XPO1 inhibitors, such as selinexor and so on.
  4. The patients have contraindications to any drug in the combined treatment.
  5. The major surgery is performed within 4 weeks before enrollment, except for diagnosis.
  6. There are any life-threatening diseases, medical conditions or organ systemdysfunction that the investigator believes may affect the safety or compliance ofpatients.
  7. Heart function and disease meet one of the following conditions:
  8. Heart failure with the classification of New York Heart Association heartfunction of grade II;
  9. A history of unstable angina pectoris;
  10. A history of myocardial infarction within the past 1 years;
  11. Patients with clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmiarequiring treatment or intervention;
  12. A history of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years (except the cured cervicalcancer and basal cell carcinoma of the skin).
  13. Patients with active bleeding.
  14. Uncontrolled infection exists within 7 days before treatment and parenteralantibiotics, antiviral drugs or antifungal drugs are needed; However, preventive useof these drugs (including parenteral anti-infective drugs) is allowed.
  15. Patients with chronic active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C. If the backgroundhepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core Antibody (HBcAb) orhepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody are positive, the further determination for HepatitisB Virus (HBV) DNA (no more than 2500 copies /mL or 500 IU/mL) and HCV RNA (no morethan the lower limit of the assay) can be included. The patients with HBsAg and/orHBcAb positive need to receive anti-HBV drugs.
  16. Patients with the infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or acquiredImmunodeficiency syndrome.
  17. Inability to swallow tablets, presence of malabsorption syndrome, or any othergastrointestinal disease or dysfunction that may affect the absorption of the studydrug.

Study Description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, phase Ib/II clinical trial to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of selinexor when combined with R-CHOP regimen for untreated EBV-positive DLBCL patients.

Phase Ib study:

Selinexor will be given orally at two different doses (40mg qw, and 60mg qw ) and combined with the R-CHOP regimen from the second cycle based on the "3+3" principle.

In the induction therapy period, 6 cycles of R-CHOP regimen and 2 cycles of rituximab in combination with selinexor are planned.

The dose limited toxicity (DLT) will be evaluated after the first cycle of selinexor in combination with R-CHOP.

Phase II study:

The phase II study of selinexor at recommended phase II dose (RP2D) dose level combined with R-CHOP regimen was conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of the combined regimen.

After 8 cycles of induction therapy, if the response is assessed as complete remission (CR), maintenance therapy with selinexor will be conducted.
