About this study
Official title: Phase 1/2 Trial of Selinexor in Combination With Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone ± Carfilzomib for Patients With Proteasome-Inhibitor and Immunomodulatory Drug Refractory Multiple Myeloma (SCOPE)
This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose and side effects of selinexor, and how well it works when given in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) and does not respond to treatment with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (refractory). Selinexor is an oral agent that blocks a protein called Exportin 1 (XPO1 or CRM1) that is abundant in a wide variety of cancers, including multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pomalidomide may stop the growth of blood vessels, stimulate the immune system, and kill cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone may lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. The addition of selinexor may allow better control of relapsed refractory multiple myeloma than is possible with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without carfilzomib.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (SKPd) in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). (Arm A) II. To determine the efficacy of fixed-dose selinexor in combination with low-dose pomalidomide and dexamethasone (SPd) in patients with RRMM as measured by the overall response rate (ORR) per the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. (Arm B)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of SKPd in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, as measured by the overall response rate (ORR) per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria and the duration of response (DOR). (Arm A) II. To evaluate clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the safety profile of SPd. (Arm B)
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- To estimate clinical activity in different risk groups by cytogenetics. II. To assess minimal residual disease by flow cytometry in patients achieving complete response (CR) and compare the outcomes of patients who are serum mass-fix (mass spectrometry-based methodology available at Mayo Clinic) negative only versus those who have no evidence of disease by mass fix and flow-cytometry-based minimal residual disease (MRD).
III. To assess overall health-related quality of life, as measured by the global health domain of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Multiple Myeloma 20 (QLQ-MY20).
IV. To evaluate patient reported outcomes using the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (Patient Reported Outcomes Version of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [PRO-CTCAE]).
- To stratify patients in arm A based on quadruple/penta-refractory status and to assess the impact of this stratification on patient outcomes.
VI. To stratify patients in arm B based on their dual-refractory status and to assess the impact of this stratification on patient outcomes.
OUTLINE: Patients with >= 3 prior lines of therapy are assigned to Arm A, while patients with 1-2 prior lines of therapy are assigned to Arm B. Arm A is a phase I dose-escalation study of selinexor and carfilzomib, with fixed-dose dexamethasone and pomalidomide followed by a dose-expansion study. Arm B is a phase II fixed-dose study of selinexor, dexamethasone, and pomalidomide.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maximum tolerated dose of selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Phase I)
A standard 3+3 phase I design will be utilized. Three patients will be treated at each dose level and observed for a minimum of four weeks (i.e. one full cycle) before new patients are treated. Doses will not be escalated in any individual patient.
Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of treatment
Proportion of patients who achieve a confirmed response with selinexor in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Phase 2)
A confirmed response is defined as an stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good [partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.
Measured: Up to 3 years
Secondary outcomes (5)
Duration of response
Defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a confirmed response as the date at which the patient's objective status is first noted to be an sCR, CR, VGPR, or PR to the earliest date progression or relapse is documented.
Measured: Up to 3 years
Clinical benefit rate
Will be estimated by the number of patients with an sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, or MR noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated.
Measured: Up to 3 years
Overall survival
The distribution of overall survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier
Measured: From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Progression-free survival
The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Measured: From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression, relapse, or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Incidence of adverse events
The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns.
Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. The number and severity of all adverse events (overall and by dose-level) will be tabulated and summarized in this patient population. The grade 3+ adverse events will also be described and summarized in a similar fashion.
Measured: Up to 3 years

Primary outcome
Maximum tolerated dose of selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Phase I)
Time frame: Up to 30 days after completion of treatment
A standard 3+3 phase I design will be utilized. Three patients will be treated at each dose level and observed for a minimum of four weeks (i.e. one full cycle) before new patients are treated. Doses will not be escalated in any individual patient.
Proportion of patients who achieve a confirmed response with selinexor in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Phase 2)
Time frame: Up to 3 years
A confirmed response is defined as an stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good [partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.
5 secondary outcomes
Duration of response
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Clinical benefit rate
Time frame: Up to 3 years
Overall survival
Time frame: From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Progression-free survival
Time frame: From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression, relapse, or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Incidence of adverse events
Time frame: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Carfilzomib, Dexamethasone and Pomalidomide in people with Recurrent Multiple Myeloma and Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 37 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum tolerated dose of selinexor in combination with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Phase I) (time frame: Up to 30 days after completion of treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Feb 2026.
