Low-Dose Selinexor and Choline Salicylate for the Treatment of Patients With Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Histiocytic/Dendritic Cell Neoplasms

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn about the combination of choline salicylate and selinexor. We want to find out more about the side effects of the combination, what doses are safe for patients, and to collect information on how lymphoma responds to the drug combination. The doses of both drugs received will depend on when  the patient is enrolled on to the study.

The drug combination of selinexor and choline salicylate is experimental and isn’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Selinexor is FDA approved when given with dexamethasone for previously treated relapsed multiple myeloma. Selinexor is currently being studied in DLBCL and other types of cancer. Choline salicylate has been used as a mild pain reliever, but has not been used in the treatment of cancer. The combination is investigational because the two drugs have never been given together. However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug combination in this research study.

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Biopsy-proven relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or histiocytic/dendritic
cell neoplasms. Relapsed is defined as a relapse that occurred after having a response
to the last therapy that lasted > 26 weeks. Refractory is no response (stable disease
or progressive disease while on therapy) or relapse within 6 months. Refractoriness to
autologous stem cell transplant will be defined as disease progression within 52 weeks
following transplant.

- Most recent tumor biopsy must be < 26 weeks prior to registration

- Measurable or assessable disease: Measurable disease is defined as measurable by
computed tomography (CT) (dedicated CT or the CT portion of a positron emission
tomography [PET]/CT) or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]: To be considered measurable,
there must be at least one lesion that has a single diameter of >= 1.5 cm. NOTE: Skin
lesions can be used if the area is >= 1.5cm in at least one diameter and photographed
with a ruler. Patients with assessable disease by PET/CT are also eligible as long as
the assessable disease is biopsy proven lymphoma

- Patients must have previously been treated with at least 2 lines of therapy

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, 1, or 2

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,000/mm^3 (obtained =< 14 days prior to
registration)

- Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3 (obtained =< 14 days prior to registration)

- Hemoglobin >= 8.5 g/dL (may be transfused to reach criteria) (obtained =< 14 days
prior to registration)

- Total bilirubin < 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (or total bilirubin =< 3.0 x ULN
with direct bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN in patients with well-documented Gilbert's
syndrome) (obtained =< 14 days prior to registration)

- Aspartate transaminase (AST) =< 2.5 x ULN and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x
ULN (obtained =< 14 days prior to registration)

- Calculated creatinine clearance must be >= 35 ml/min using the Cockcroft Gault formula
(obtained =< 14 days prior to registration)

- Negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of
childbearing potential only

- Female of childbearing potential (FCBP*) must commit to take highly effective
contraceptive precautions** without interruption during the study and continue for at
least 12 weeks after the last dose of selinexor and CS. FCBP must refrain from
breastfeeding and donating oocytes during the course of the study. Males must use an
effective barrier method of contraception without interruption during the study and
continue for at least 12 weeks after the last dose of selinexor and CS. They must
refrain from donating sperm during the study participation.

- *FCBP defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone bilateral tubal
ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy; or who have not been
postmenopausal (i.e., who have not menstruated at all) for at least 1 year

- Highly effective forms of birth control are methods that achieve a failure
rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Highly
effective forms of birth control include: hormonal contraceptives (oral,
injectable, patch, and intrauterine devices), male partner sterilization, or
total abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, when this is the preferred
and usual lifestyle of the patient NOTE: The double-barrier method (e.g.,
synthetic condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap with spermicidal foam, cream,
or gel), periodic abstinence (such as calendar, symptothermal,
post-ovulation), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), lactational amenorrhea
method, and spermicide-only are not acceptable as highly effective methods
of contraception

- Provide written informed consent

- Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring
Phase of the study)

- Willingness to provide mandatory blood specimens per protocol for Pharmacokinetics
(PKs) and banking, and mandatory tissue samples for correlative research. NOTE: If an
institution is not able to provide the tissue, it does not cause the patient to be
ineligible; however, the collection of these tissues is strongly recommended

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent whose
genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are
unknown:

- Pregnant women

- Nursing women

- Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment
of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or
interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the
prescribed regimens

- Patients known to have active hepatitis B, or C infection, or known to be positive for
hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) or hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
