Karyopharm Announces XPOVIO Data to be Presented at the European Hematology Association 2021 Virtual Congress
Mentioned: KPTI
Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today announced that nine abstracts have been selected for virtual presentation, including one oral presentation, at the upcoming European Hematology Association (EHA) 2021 Virtual Congress taking place June 9-17, 2021.
Key abstracts to be presented at the meeting will feature clinical data for XPOVIO® (selinexor), the Company's first in class, oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compound, including: (i) multiple new subgroup analyses from the pivotal Phase 3 BOSTON study, including data results evaluating XPOVIO treatment for patients over the age of 65 years old, patients with RAS-mutated multiple myeloma, patients previously treated with Revlimid® (lenalidomide), and genomic predictors of efficacy; (ii) updated data from the Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) and Pomalyst® (pomalidomide) arms of the Phase 1b/2 STOMP study evaluating XPOVIO in combination with standard of care agents in previously treated multiple myeloma; (iii) evaluation of XPOVIO combinations in patients with multiple myeloma following treatment with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies; (iv) the effect of lymphocyte count on safety and efficacy in the Phase 2b SADAL study evaluating XPOVIO in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; and (v) updated overall survival data from a Phase 1/2 study evaluating oral eltanexor, the Company's second generation SINE compound, in patients with hypomethylating-agent refractory myelodysplastic syndrome.
"We are pleased to see such a broad display of data from our clinical programs presented at EHA this year. In particular, we are encouraged that updated data from the Kyprolis® arm of the STOMP study was selected for an oral presentation," said Sharon Shacham, PhD, MBA, Chief Scientific Officer of Karyopharm. "More specifically, in the STOMP study, heavily pretreated multiple myeloma patients receiving once weekly XPOVIO in combination with once-weekly Kyprolis® and dexamethasone achieved an overall response rate of 78% (25/32 patients), including 16% (5/32 patients) who achieved a complete response. High response rates were observed whether or not the patients had received prior anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapy and adverse events in the study were generally consistent with other previously reported XPOVIO studies in multiple myeloma. We look forward to sharing these results and other XPOVIO data with the broader medical and scientific community."
