Patients with multiple myeloma-bearing translocation t(11;14) have recently been shown to benefit from the apoptosis-inducing drug venetoclax; however, the drug lacks FDA approval in multiple myeloma thus far due to a potential safety signal in the overall patient population. Selinexor is an inhibitor of nuclear export that is FDA-approved for patients with multiple myeloma refractory to multiple lines of therapy. Here, we report that in four patients with multiple myeloma with t(11;14), the concomitant administration of venetoclax and selinexor was safe and associated with disease response. Moreover, the combination was synergistic in t(11;14) multiple myeloma cell lines and caused decreased levels of Cyclin D1 (which is overexpressed due to the CCND1-IGH fusion) when given in combination as compared to single agents. These data suggest that the combination of venetoclax and selinexor is effective and t(11;14) may serve as a therapeutic marker for response and target for future clinical trials.
