FDA grants Fast Track Designation to Selinexor for the Treatment of Myelofibrosis
“Fast Track Designation for selinexor highlights its potential to address the unmet medical need in myelofibrosis, an important acknowledgement as we continue our pivotal Phase 3 study,” said Reshma Rangwala, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Karyopharm. “Selinexor’s unique mechanism of action, XPO1 inhibition, is a novel and potentially fundamental mechanism in myelofibrosis. We have been highly encouraged by the efficacy and safety data observed to date [in our Phase 1 study] with selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with treatment-naïve myelofibrosis and believe selinexor has the potential to shift the treatment paradigm. We look forward to continued interaction with the FDA as we advance the development of this promising treatment for patients in need.”
