Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Laboratory values ≤2 weeks must be: AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT)≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal, Bilirubin ≤ 2 X ULN (3X if known history of Gilbert's syndrome), Creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be > 20 mL/min, Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 40% by MUGA or ECHO.

Patients with de novo AML must not have partial or total monosomy 5 or 7 or i(17q) or t(17p). Negative FISH studies are sufficient for enrollment.

Must not have

Patients unable to swallow tablets, patients with malabsorption syndrome, or any other GI disease or GI dysfunction that could interfere with absorption of study treatment

Patients with another active malignancy that requires treatment excluding non-melanoma skin cancers.

Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat acute myeloid leukemia in older patients. The new combination includes a drug that may stop the growth of tumor cells.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (non-APL) who haven't had AML treatment, except Hydrea and ATRA. It's not for those with certain genetic abnormalities or previous cancer treatments, HIV, hepatitis, CNS involvement, or other serious health issues. Participants must be physically able to undergo therapy and willing to use effective contraception.

What is being tested?

The trial tests Selinexor combined with chemotherapy drugs cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in older patients. The goal is to see if this mix can better kill leukemia cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth while stopping the cells from dividing or spreading.

What are the potential side effects?

Selinexor may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss; blood disorders like anemia; fatigue; liver enzyme changes. Chemotherapy drugs can lead to hair loss, mouth sores, increased infection risk due to low blood cell counts.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Arm 2 (Selinexor) cytarabine, daunorubicin and selinexorExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

INDUCTION: Cytarabine IV on days 1-7, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1-3, and selinexor PO twice weekly from day 1. Treatment continues for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RE-INDUCTION: Disease has not responded receive cytarabine IV on days 1-5, daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on days 1-2, and selinexor PO twice weekly. Treatment continues for 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONSOLIDATION: In remission receive cytarabine IV every 12 hours for a total 6 doses days 1-3, and selinexor PO twice weekly from day 1. Treatment repeats every 42 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
