FDA approves treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Posted on

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved oral selinexor (Xpovio), 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 ≥2 lines of systemic therapy.

“The accelerated approval of oral Xpovio in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL is a significant milestone for the patients and families who currently have limited treatment options available for their disease,” said Sharon Shacham, PhD, MBA, Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Karyopharm in a press release. “This approval marks the first for an oral agent for patients with previously treated DLBCL and the first approval of any single drug for this highly aggressive type of lymphoma. Additionally, this is now the second commercial oncology indication for Xpovio, highlighting its novel mechanism of action, ease of administration and ability to produce rapid and durable responses in patients with heavily pretreated disease. We share this tremendous achievement with the patients, employees, caregivers and physicians who have tirelessly contributed to the advancement of Xpovio from its original discovery and clinical development to today’s second FDA approval.”
