Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Selinexor plus Doxorubicin
Arm Description
Selinexor will be given by mouth (orally) once a week: Dose Level -1 = 40 mg Dose Level 1 (Starting Dose) = 60 mg Dose Level 2 = 80 mg Doxorubicin will be given by vein (intravenously) at a dose of 75 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
To evaluate the Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, graded and categorized according to the CTCAE v4.0.
All adverse events will be tabulated and summarized by major organ category, grade, anticipation, and drug attribution. SAE specific incidence and exact 95% confidence interval will be provided where appropriate.
To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of Selinexor in combination with doxorubicin
The RP2D will be determined according to interim mTPI monitoring algorithm (Figure 5.1) using the dose determining set.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Rate of Grade 3 Toxicities
Response Rate
Progression-free Survival Rate

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a phase 1b study of investigational drug selinexor in combination with doxorubicin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. The purpose of this study is to determine how safe and tolerable the combination is, as well as the best dose of the study drugs in this patient population.
Selinexor (also called KPT-330), works by trapping "tumor suppressor proteins" within the cell and thus causing the cancer cells to die or stop growing.
Detailed Description
This is a phase 1b study of investigational drug selinexor in combination with doxorubicin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
Patients will be screened for eligibility within 28 days of the start of the study drugs. In addition to standard tests and procedures, research tumor tissue (archival or fresh biopsy) will be collected for collection for pharmacodynamics. Participants will also be asked if they agree to optional biopsies at 6 cycles if their cancer is responding and at disease progression.
Eligible participants will then receive the study drugs in 21 day cycles. Selinexor will be given by mouth and doxorubicin will be given by vein, once a week, for 6 cycles.
Participants will be restaged every 2 cycles. If participants respond to treatment after 6 cycles, they may be able to continue the selinexor alone as a maintenance treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity.
While receiving the study drug, many of the screening tests will be repeated. Additional tests and procedures include blood sample collection for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
When participants stop the study drug permanently for any reason, an end of treatment visit, 28-day follow-up, and long term follow up every 90 days will occur.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions
Arm Title
Selinexor plus Doxorubicin
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Selinexor will be given by mouth (orally) once a week:
Dose Level -1 = 40 mg Dose Level 1 (Starting Dose) = 60 mg Dose Level 2 = 80 mg
Doxorubicin will be given by vein (intravenously) at a dose of 75 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Selinexor
Intervention Description
Selinexor is a Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compound that binds and inactivates Exportin 1 (XPO1), thereby forcing the nuclear retention of key tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs).
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Doxorubicin
Intervention Description
Doxorubicin is currently approved for various cancers. Doxorubicin inhibits DNA synthesis and repair by inhibiting topoisomerase II and also by intercalation between base pairs on the DNA helix. These actions result in the blockade of DNA and RNA synthesis and fragmentation of DNA.
