11557 Background: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab for alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). Selinexor, a selective XPO1 inhibitor, demonstrated cytotoxic activity in ASPS-KY and ASPS-1 cell lines of ASPS and other sarcoma cell lines; it has been approved as a part of regimens to treat multiple myeloma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Preliminary clinical data demonstrate acceptable safety profiles in patients with melanoma who received selinexor in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Methods: We designed a randomized phase 2 study to evaluate atezolizumab with or without selinexor in adult patients with ASPS that included a safety run-in (SR) open to patients with soft tissue sarcoma (NCT05333458). Prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy was not allowed. During the SR, patients received selinexor (60 mg PO) on days 1, 8, and 15 of the 28-day cycle and atezolizumab (1200 mg flat dose IV) on day 8 at the Developmental Therapeutics Clinic. Protocol-defined treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurring during cycle 1 would either expand accrual to the SR or close the study. Safety data were evaluated by the principal investigator and NCI CTEP (National Cancer Institute Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program). Results: Six patients were enrolled in the SR and were evaluated weekly during the first cycle of study treatment. All patients were female with a median age of 47 years (range: 22-71 years). Diagnoses included sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (n=2), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (n=1), metastatic leiomyosarcoma (n=1), metastatic angiosarcoma (n=1), and ASPS (n=1). No patients were removed from the SR due to AEs. Two patients experienced grade 3 TRAEs, including one instance each of neutropenia and lymphopenia (Table). Beyond cycle 1, there was 1 occurrence of grade 3 lymphopenia. No grade 4 or 5 AEs have occurred during the SR. Fatigue and nausea were the most prevalent TRAEs, but only one patient experienced grade 2 nausea; all other occurrences of nausea and fatigue were at grade 1. Conclusions: The safety run-in completed without any occurrences of protocol-defined treatment-related toxicity during cycle 1. The treatment was well tolerated. Based on these data, the randomized part of this study began accruing patients with ASPS across the ETCTN (Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network).
