Myeloproliferative neoplasms are chronic blood cancers in which the bone marrow produces too many blood cells. Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, may need treatment to reduce high blood cell counts, relieve disease-related symptoms, and lower the risk of complications. However, currently available cytoreductive treatments may be ineffective, poorly tolerated, or inconvenient for some patients.
Selinexor is an oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export that has shown antitumor activity in several hematologic malignancies. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of selinexor used alone as cytoreductive treatment in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms who have an indication for cytoreductive therapy.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label phase II study conducted at a single center. Eligible participants will receive oral selinexor, with dose adjustments based on tolerability and blood cell counts. Participants will be followed for treatment response, symptom improvement, and side effects for up to 6 months. The results of this study may help determine whether selinexor could provide a potential treatment option for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms who have limited cytoreductive therapy choices.
