Interrupt, reduce dose or permanently discontinue based on severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )]. 5.5 Serious Infection XPOVIO can cause serious and fatal infections. Most of these infections were not associated with Grade 3 or higher neutropenia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 100 mg once weekly (BOSTON, n=195), 69% of patients experienced any grade of infection. Grade ≥3 infections were reported in 32% of patients, and deaths from infections occurred in 3.1% of patients. The most frequently reported Grade ≥3 infection was pneumonia in 14% of patients, followed by sepsis in 4.1% and upper respiratory tract infection in 3.6% of patients. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 80 mg twice weekly (STORM, n=202), 52% of patients experienced any grade of infection.

The median time to the first event was 15 days. Coadministration of XPOVIO with other products that cause dizziness or mental status changes may increase the risk of neurological toxicity. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, until the neurological toxicity fully resolves. Optimize hydration status, hemoglobin level, and concomitant medications to avoid exacerbating dizziness or mental status changes. Institute fall precautions as appropriate. 5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Selinexor administration to pregnant animals during organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at exposures below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with a female partner of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] . 5.8 Cataract New onset or exacerbation of cataract has occurred during treatment with XPOVIO [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. In patients with multiple myeloma who received XPOVIO 100 mg once weekly (BOSTON, n=195), the incidence of new onset or worsening cataracts requiring clinical intervention was reported in 22% of patients. The median time to new onset of cataract was 228 days and was 237 days for worsening of cataract in patients presenting with cataract at start of XPOVIO therapy. Treatment of cataracts usually requires surgical removal of the cataract.

Multiple Myeloma XPOVIO in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (XVd) The safety of XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone was evaluated in BOSTON [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were randomized to receive XPOVIO 100 mg orally once weekly in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) (n=195) or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) (n=204).

Patients received XPOVIO 80 mg orally with dexamethasone 20 mg on Days 1 and 3 of every week (n=202). The median duration of XPOVIO treatment was 8 weeks (range: 1 to 60 weeks). The median dose was 115 mg (range: 36 to 200 mg) per week. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 9% of XPOVIO treated patients. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 58% of patients. The treatment discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 27%; 53% of patients had a reduction in the XPOVIO dose, and 65% had the dose of XPOVIO interrupted. Thrombocytopenia was the leading cause of dose modification, resulting in dose reduction and/or interruption in >25% of patients. The most frequent adverse reactions requiring permanent discontinuation in 4% or greater of patients who received XPOVIO included fatigue, nausea, and thrombocytopenia.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of selinexor to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at exposures that were below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the risks to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, daily oral administration of selinexor at 0, 0.25, 0.75, or 2 mg/kg throughout organogenesis caused incomplete or delayed ossification, skeletal variations, and reduced fetal weight compared with controls at a dose of 0.75 mg/kg (approximately 0.08-fold of human area under the curve [AUC] at the recommended dose). Malformations were observed at 2 mg/kg, including microphthalmia, fetal edema, malpositioned kidney, and persistent truncus arteriosus.
