Side Effects (Adverse Reactions)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described in detail in other labeling sections: Thrombocytopenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Neutropenia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )]. Gastrointestinal Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Hyponatremia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. Serious Infection [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )]. Neurological Toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] . Cataract [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] . The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in patients with multiple myeloma who receive XVd are fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy, upper respiratory tract infection, weight decreased, cataract, and vomiting. Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (≥10%) are thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, hypophosphatemia, anemia, hyponatremia, and neutropenia ( 6.1 ). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in patients with multiple myeloma who receive Xd are thrombocytopenia, fatigue, nausea, anemia, decreased appetite, weight decreased, diarrhea, vomiting, hyponatremia, neutropenia, leukopenia, constipation, dyspnea, and upper respiratory tract infection ( 6.1 ). The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) in patients with DLBCL, excluding laboratory abnormalities, are fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weight decreased, constipation, vomiting, and pyrexia. Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities (≥15%) are thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, anemia, and hyponatremia ( 6.1 ).

Multiple Myeloma XPOVIO in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (XVd) The safety of XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone was evaluated in BOSTON [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were randomized to receive XPOVIO 100 mg orally once weekly in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) (n=195) or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) (n=204). Among patients who received XPOVIO, the median duration of XPOVIO treatment was 29 weeks (range: 1 to 120 weeks) and the median dose was 80 mg (range: 30 to 137 mg) per week. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Serious adverse reactions in >3% of patients included pneumonia (14%), sepsis, diarrhea and vomiting (4% each). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients within 30 days of last treatment, including pneumonia (n=3) and sepsis (n=3). Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, a pre-specified key secondary endpoint, was lower in the XVd arm (21%) compared to the Vd arm (34%); odds ratio 0.50 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.79]. The median treatment duration was 30 weeks (range: 1-120 weeks) in patients who received once weekly XVd as compared to 32 weeks (range: 1-122 weeks) in patients who received twice weekly Vd. Permanent discontinuation of XPOVIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 19% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of XPOVIO in >2% of patients included fatigue (3.6%), nausea (3.1%), thrombocytopenia, decreased appetite, peripheral neuropathy, and vomiting (2.1% each). Dosage interruptions of XPOVIO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 83% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in >5% of patients included thrombocytopenia (33%), fatigue (13%), asthenia (12%), pneumonia (11%), upper respiratory tract infection (10%), decreased appetite (9%), neutropenia (8%), pyrexia (8%), nausea (7%), bronchitis (7%), diarrhea (6%), weight decreased (6%),...

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of selinexor to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at exposures that were below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose (see Data ) . Advise pregnant women of the risks to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, daily oral administration of selinexor at 0, 0.25, 0.75, or 2 mg/kg throughout organogenesis caused incomplete or delayed ossification, skeletal variations, and reduced fetal weight compared with controls at a dose of 0.75 mg/kg (approximately 0.08-fold of human area under the curve [AUC] at the recommended dose). Malformations were observed at 2 mg/kg, including microphthalmia, fetal edema, malpositioned kidney, and persistent truncus arteriosus.
