Experimental cocktail targets deadly brain lymphoma
NCT ID NCT06552559
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether adding the oral drug selinexor to standard chemotherapy can help people with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has spread to the central nervous system. About 37 adults will receive the combination to find the safest dose and see if it shrinks tumors. The goal is to improve outcomes for a condition with no standard treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Selinexor (oral drug) combined with dexamethasone, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (chemotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat lymphoma that has spread to the brain or spinal cord.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 37 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug combination may cause significant side effects, and it is not expected to cure the disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have histologically confirmed B-cell NHL with CNS involvement DLBCL including ABC, GCB or PMBCL subtypes Indolent lymphomas transformed to aggressive lymphomas Follicular lymphomas * Patients must have received at least one cycles of anthracycline based chemotherapy administered with curative intent * Patients must be age ≥18 years. * Patients must have at least one site of measurable disease, 1.5 cm in diameter or greater. * Patients must have ECOG performance status of 0-2. * Patients must have laboratory test results within these ranges: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/mm³, Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³, Serum creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min, Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN (Higher levels are acceptable if these can be attributed to active hemolysis or ineffective erythropoiesis.), AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2x ULN * Women of childbearing potential must agree to use dual methods of contraception and have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to selinexor treatment. Male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception if sexually active with a female of child-bearing potential. * Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document. * Patients must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements. * Patients must not have any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form. * Patients must not have any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study. * Patients with hepatitis B virus including HBsAg-positive carrier or IgG anti- HBc-positive can be enrolled if they can receive anti-viral prophylaxis Exclusion Criteria: * Patients cannot fulfill the above-mentioned inclusion criteria * Patients with primary CNS lymphoma * Patients with a prior history with selinexor
