selinexor in combination with mtx+ritu to treat r/r cnsl

Conditions: Central Nervous System Lymphoma

Summary: this is a single-arm and open-label study to explore x+mtx+ritu (atg-010, methotrexate, rituximab) regimen in relapse refractory pcnsl patients. approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in the study. in dose escalation phase, patients with relapse refractory pcnsl will be treated with x+mtx+ritu regimen and escalating doses of oral atg-010 weekly in a 3+3 design. then a phase 2 expansion at the recommended dose level based on phase 1b trial will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability.

in dose escalation phase, patients with relapse refractory pcnsl will be treated with x+mtx+ritu regimen （methotrexate 3.5 g/m2, d1; rituximab 375 mg/m2, d0）and escalating doses of oral atg-010 weekly in a 3+3 design. atg-010 dose level (dl) 1, 2 and 3 are 60, 80 and 100mg respectively respectively on day 1,8,15,22 for 28-days cycle. the phase 2 expansion at the recommended dose level based on phase 1b trial. the total 6 cycles, 28 days per cycle . and, subjects participating in the study will undergo a screening period（up to 21days）, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. the screening period is a maximum of 21 days before treatment period, and will be followed by 6 cycles of combination treatment（28 days per cycle）. partial remission(pr) patients after induction treatment will continue atg-010 maintenance up to 1 year or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death.
