SENTRY Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new combination drug therapy for myelofibrosis, a bone marrow cancer. The trial will have three phases, with the first two phases testing safety and preliminary efficacy in various doses, and the third phase testing efficacy in a randomized study.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with primary or secondary myelofibrosis, showing significant spleen enlargement and certain risk levels. They must have functioning major organs, no prior treatments with JAK inhibitors or selinexor, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and have a life expectancy over 6 months. Exclusions include recent surgeries, uncontrolled infections without stable treatment for hepatitis B/C or HIV.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of Selinexor and Ruxolitinib against a placebo plus Ruxolitinib in patients who haven't used JAK inhibitors before. It's split into two phases: an initial phase to determine safe dosages followed by a larger phase where participants are randomly assigned to either the drug combo or placebo in a 2:1 ratio.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea; blood disorders such as low platelet counts; liver function abnormalities; fatigue; possible allergic reactions if sensitive to the drugs' components; and increased risk of infection due to immune system effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

In how many different medical settings is this research project being conducted today?

"A few of the 5 locations where this trial is being conducted are City of Hope in Duarte, California, The Oncology Institute of Hope & Innovation in Pasadena, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Utah."

Answered by AI

What is the main reason people are prescribed Selinexor?

"Selinexor is often the last resort for patients who have not responded to other treatments like proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents. Selinexor has also shown promise in treating conditions such as polycythemia vera, polycythemia, and resistant or intolerant hydroxyurea cases."

Answered by AI

Are patients able to enroll in this trial at this time?

"That is correct. The clinicaltrials.gov website currently lists this study as open and recruiting patients. This trial was originally posted on March 11th, 2021 and was updated November 11th, 2022. There are a total of 237 participant slots available at 5 different locations."

Answered by AI

Are there other examples of Selinexor being used in a clinical setting?

"Selinexor was first evaluated in 2002 by the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. As of now, 121 clinical trials have been completed while 147 are still recruiting patients. The majority of these active trials are based out of Duarte, California."

Answered by AI

How many study participants are currently enrolled?

"According to the study's sponsor, Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc, 237 patients are needed to complete this clinical trial. City of Hope in Duarte, California and The Oncology Institute of Hope & Innovation in Pasadena, Tennessee will be among the multiple sites hosting this research."
