Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether selinexor is an effective treatment for people who have a relapsed/refractory Wilms tumor, rhabdoid tumor, MPNST, BCOR-driven sarcoma, or another solid tumor that makes a higher than normal amount of XPO1 or has genetic changes that increase the activity of XP01.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age:
  1. Age ≥ 6 at the time of informed consent

  2. Age ≥ 2 years to < 6 years at time of informed consent (Refer to Section 4.3):If PK cohort 1 is open, patients in this age range may enroll onto this cohort.If PK cohort 1 has been completed and deemed sufficient to proceed, then suchpatients may enroll onto the phase 2.

  3. Age ≥ 12 months to < 2 years at time of informed consent (Refer to Section 4.3):

If PK cohort 2 is open, patients in this age range may enroll onto this cohort. If PK cohort 2 has been completed and deemed sufficient to proceed, then such patients may enroll onto the phase 2.

  • Consent: All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representativesmust sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtainedaccording to institutional guidelines.

  • Performance: Karnofsky ≥ 60% for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky ≥ 60 forpatients ≤ 16 years of age.

  • Diagnosis: Patients must enroll into one of the following cohorts:

  1. Cohort A: Any type of Wilms tumor or nephroblastoma is eligible for this studyprovided they meet at least one of these criteria: (1) in their second orgreater relapse, (2) refractory or in their first relapse with high riskhistology (i.e., any anaplastic or blastemal-type after neoadjuvantchemotherapy), or (3) refractory or in first relapse without high riskhistology but after having received chemotherapies other than the initial 4agents used as current standard of care in the up-front setting for non-highrisk cases - specifically vincristine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin, andirinotecan (i.e., any patient who relapses following an initial regimen moreintense than EE4A, DD4A, VAD, AVD, or VIVA; for example, those includingcyclophosphamide/etoposide - such as Regimen I, M, or MVI - or thoseadditionally including carboplatin - such as Regimens UH-1, UH-2, or UH-3).

  2. Cohort B: Any Rhabdoid tumor is eligible for this cohort. This includes, but isnot limited to, related subtypes of rhabdoid tumors such as atypical teratoidrhabdoid tumors (ATRT), malignant rhabdoid tumors of the kidney (MRTK),malignant rhabdoid tumors of the soft tissue and liver, small cellundifferentiated hepatoblastomas (SCUH), and small-cell carcinoma of the ovaryof hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT). Patients must have failed to respond to atleast 1 line of systemic therapy prior to enrollment.

  3. Cohort C: Patients with progressive, relapsed, unresectable or metastaticMPNST, are eligible for this cohort. Patients must have failed to respond to atleast 1 line of systemic therapy prior to enrollment.

  4. Cohort D: Patients must not qualify for Cohorts A, B, or C but have a solidtumor (no hematologic malignancies including lymphoma) for which there isspecific evidence that this particular patient's tumor may benefit fromselinexor.

Patients must have failed to respond to at least 1 line of systemic therapy prior to enrollment. Examples of evidence are listed below. All patients in this cohort require approval of study principal investigator and must provide documentation of specific supporting evidence. i. Tumor XPO1 Dependency: Defined as either Darwin OncoTarget demonstrating XPO1 as aberrantly activated or Darwin OncoTreat demonstrating context-specific tumor checkpoint inversion with Selinexor, both of which must be significant at a -log10 (Bonferroni corrected p-value) of 5 or greater. ii. Tumor XPO1 Activation: Defined as the detection of a gain of function mutation in XPO1, specifically E571K. Additionally, detection of elevated transcriptomic or proteomic expression of XPO1 in the tumor via RNAseq or IHC, respectively, would be considered sufficient for treatment.

iii. Preclinical Tumor Testing: Defined as testing of Selinexor on patient derived cell line, organoid, or xenograft models of the patient's tumor (or other related tumors) performed in a laboratory context and for which, in the investigator's opinion, demonstrates promising activity. Testing may include commercial testing as well as academic laboratory testing.

  • Cohort E: Patients must have a solid tumor with an activating genomic alteration (e.g. fusion or internal tandem duplication) involving BCOR. Specific examples ofqualifying alterations including BCOR-ITD, BCOR-CCNB3, BCOR-MAML3 and ZC3H7B-BCOR;Other potentially qualifying BCOR alterations require approval of study principalinvestigator; note that loss of function alterations of BCOR would not qualify.

  • Disease Status: Patients on the phase II portion of the study must have measurabledisease whereas patients on the PK cohorts can have either evaluable or measurabledisease as measured by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (Version 1.1). a. Primary Brain Tumors: Patients with primary brain tumors are eligible and mustalso have measurable disease for the phase II (as well as evaluable or measurablefor the PK cohorts), but this can be defined as at least equal or greater than twicethe slice thickness in two perpendicular diameters on MRI OR diffuse leptomeningealdisease OR clear MRI evidence of disease that may not be measurable in twoperpendicular diameters OR positive CSF cytology alone.

  • Prior Therapy: Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects ofall prior anti-cancer therapy and meet minimum washout durations (shown below) fromprior therapy.

  1. Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive: ≥ 7 days

  2. Anti-cancer and cytotoxic agents known to be myelosuppressive: ≥ 21 days

  4. Adoptive cellular therapies (including modified T cells, vaccines, etc.): ≥ 42daysundifferentiated hepatoblastomas (SCUH), and small-cell carcinoma of the ovary&#xd;of hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT). Patients must have failed to respond to at&#xd;least 1 line of systemic therapy prior to enrollment.&#xd; &#xd;

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior Therapy: Has received selinexor or another XPO1 inhibitor previously.

  • Transplants: Patients who have received allogeneic bone marrow transplant arepotentially eligible unless they are being actively treated for GvHD. Patients whohave had a prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible.

  • Compliance: Patients who as a result of serious medical, psychiatric, and/or socialsituation(s), in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply withsupportive care, safety monitoring, or any other key requirements of the studyprotocols are not eligible.

  • Pregnancy and Breast-feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be enteredon this study because there is yet no available information regarding human fetal orteratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who arepost-menarchal.

  • Contraception: Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unlessthey have agreed to use two effective methods of birth control, including amedically accepted barrier or contraceptive method (e.g., male or female condom) forthe duration of the study.
