“…Of these SINEs, KPT-330, otherwise known as selinexor, has demonstrated the most success due to its superior bioavailability and potency [ 32 ]. In preclinical studies, selinexor reduced proliferation and induced growth inhibition and/or apoptosis in MM, AML, chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL), lymphoma, renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, colorectal liver, pancreatic, non-small cell lung cancer, thyroid, sarcoma, mesothelioma, glioma, and melanoma malignancies [ 33 ]. Recently, based on data that XPO inhibition also blocks viral replication and ensuing inflammation, a randomized phase II clinical trial of low-dose selinexor versus placebo in patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was also initiated (NCT04349098).…”
