Insights

Selinexor, an oral cancer drug, has significant adverse events (ADEs) including gastrointestinal and blood disorders. This real-world study identified 124 safety signals, with 10 not listed in current drug instructions.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacovigilance
  • Oncology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Selinexor is the first oral nuclear export inhibitor for malignant tumors.
  • Limited real-world data exists on selinexor's adverse drug events (ADEs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a real-world safety assessment of selinexor's ADEs.
  • To identify and categorize selinexor-associated ADEs using FAERS data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data from July 2019 to June 2023.
  • Employed Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) for ADE classification (SOC, PT).
  • Applied disproportionality analysis (ROR, PRR) to detect safety signals.

Main Results:

  • Analyzed 4,392 selinexor-related ADE reports, with 2,595 severe outcomes.
  • Predominant ADEs involved gastrointestinal disorders, myelosuppression, and nonspecific symptoms.
  • Detected 124 selinexor ADE signals; 10 of the top 15 were not in product labeling.

Conclusions:

  • Provides crucial real-world evidence on selinexor's drug safety profile.
  • Highlights the need for updated clinical guidance on selinexor-associated risks.
  • Supports enhanced patient monitoring and risk management strategies for selinexor therapy.
