Summary

This trial is testing a new drug combination (KPT-8602 and Inqovi) for adults with severe blood disease (high-risk MDS) who haven't improved with standard treatments. Inqovi stops cancer cell growth, while KPT-8602 blocks a protein that helps cancer cells survive.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) that didn't improve after treatment can join. They need to be fairly active, have good organ function, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants must agree to use birth control and have no recent growth factor treatments or uncontrolled illnesses.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Eltanexor (KPT-8602) combined with Inqovi (Decitabine-Cedazuridine), both oral tablets for MDS. Over at least six 28-day cycles, participants take these drugs at home and visit the clinic regularly for exams and tests like blood work and bone marrow biopsies.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of KPT-8602 and Inqovi include digestive issues, changes in blood cell counts leading to anemia or infection risk, liver problems, fatigue, heart rhythm changes. Specific side effects will vary by individual.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Phase 1: To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of KPT-8602 in combination with Inqovi in adult participants with with higher-MDS
Phase 2: To determine the overall response rate (ORR) of KPT-8602 in combination with Inqovi in adult participants with with higher-MDS
Secondary study objectives
Phase 1: To characterize the PK properties of KPT-8602 in combination with Inqovi in MDS participants
Phase 2: To further evaluate the PK properties and safety of KPT-8602 in combination with Inqovi in MDS participants

Awards & Highlights

No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) include Selective Inhibitors of Nuclear Export (SINE) and hypomethylating agents. SINE, such as KPT-8602, work by inhibiting the export of tumor suppressor proteins from the nucleus, thereby promoting apoptosis of malignant cells. Hypomethylating agents like Decitabine, which is part of Inqovi, inhibit DNA methylation, leading to the reactivation of tumor suppressor genes and induction of cell differentiation and apoptosis. Cedazuridine, combined with Decitabine in Inqovi, increases the bioavailability of Decitabine by inhibiting its degradation. These mechanisms are crucial for MDS patients as they target the underlying genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, potentially improving blood cell counts and reducing the progression to acute myeloid leukemia.
