E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase 2 (now complete): Assess and compare PFS of patients with advanced unresectable DDLS treated with selinexor (60 mg) or placebo twice weekly. Progression will be defined by disease progression according to RECIST v. 1.1 (Eisenhauer 2009), or by death due to any cause
Phase 3: Assess and compare PFS of patients with advanced unresectable DDLS treated with selinexor (60 mg) or placebo twice weekly. PFS is defined as time from date of randomization until the first date of progression per RECIST v. 1.1, or death due to any cause. Evaluation of the radiographic data for the PFS primary endpoint will be based on data from a scan review by the independent central reader. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase 2 (now complete, refer to protocol for Phase 2 secondary objectives).
Phase 3: • Assess Overall Survival (OS), measured from date of randomization until death due to any cause. • Compare TTP on study treatment, per RECIST v. 1.1, with TTP on the patient’s last prior systemic therapy. • Assess Quality of Life (QoL) and patient-reported outcomes as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of-Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the EuroQoL Group Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). • Determine the ORR, supported by DOR. Responses will be defined by RECIST v. 1.1. • Assess PFS according to the Investigator based on clinical and/or radiologic criteria. • Assess safety of each treatment arm |

Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use two methods of contraception (including one highly effective and one effective method of contraception [as defined in Section 12.2.5.3]) and have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening. Male patients must use an effective barrier method of contraception if sexually active with a female of childbearing potential. For both male and female patients, effective methods of contraception must be used throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible to enroll in this study: 1. Patients with liposarcoma of pure WDLS, myxoid/round cell or pleomorphic tumor histologic subtypes. 2. Significant cardiovascular impairment, defined as: a. Cardiac failure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥ 3 according to the NYHA Functional Classification b. Unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 3 months of enrollment c. Serious and potentially life-threatening arrhythmia. 3. Patients with known central nervous system metastases. 4. Female patients who are pregnant or nursing. 5. Prior malignancy that required treatment, or has shown evidence of recurrence (except for non melanoma skin cancer or adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ) during the 5 years prior to randomization. Cancer treated with curative intent > 5 years prior to randomization and without evidence of recurrence is allowed. 6. Known active Hepatitis B (HepB), Hepatitis C (HepC) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Note: (HepB, HepC, or HIV testing is not required as part of this study). 7. Any medical condition, such as an uncontrolled infection or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Type 2), which in the opinion of the Investigator would make study involvement unreasonably hazardous 8. Psychiatric illness that would prevent the patient from giving informed consent or being compliant with the study procedures 9.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Phase 2: The primary endpoint PFS for Phase 2 is defined as time from date of randomization until the first date of PD per RECIST v. 1.1, or death due to any cause. A preplanned preliminary analysis of PFS after 40 PFS events was conducted with an 11 August 2017 data cut with 49 eligible patients whose treatment assignments were available. Patients were analyzed in the treatment arm to which they were randomized. The preliminary PFS analysis was conducted by both WHO and RECIST v. 1.1 Criteria and served as a guideline to inform the final design of the Phase 3 portion of the study. At the time of the preliminary PFS analysis, there were 48 events by WHO (22 selinexor, 26 placebo) and 28 events by RECIST v.1.1. (10 selinexor, 18 placebo). Both analyses showed trends favoring selinexor over placebo, while RECIST v. 1.1 results show a more significant effect size (hazard ration [HR] of 0.84, 95% CI [0.47, 1.49] by WHO as compared with HR of 0.60, 95% CI [0.28, 1.31] by RECIST v. 1.1). A Landmark analysis based on RECIST v. 1.1 for patients continuing on study after 45 days showed a more significant HR of 0.24 (95% CI [0.05, 1.15]) in favor of selinexor. Of the 57 patients in Phase 2, only 56 met the eligibility criteria for the study. The formal primary Phase 2 PFS analysis will be performed on all 56 eligible patients randomized to study treatment in Phase 2 when their treatment assignments are unblinded. Phase 2 patients will be analyzed in the treatment arm to which they are randomized.
Phase 3: The primary PFS analysis will be performed on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population for Phase 3 patients and on the per-protocol (PP) population as a supportive analysis. The stratified log-rank test will be used to test the null hypothesis that the PFS distributions are the same for both treatment groups versus the alternative hypothesis that the duration of PFS for the selinexor arm is longer than the placebo arm using a 1-sided test and alpha=0.025 level of significance, adjusted using the Cui, Hung, and Wang (CHW) method (Cui 1999).

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Phase 2: The primary endpoint analysis has been completed.
Phase 3: The primary endpoint analysis will be performed approximately 12 months after enrollment of the last patient, once 209 PFS events have occurred, at which time all Phase 3 patients will be evaluable for assessment of the primary endpoint. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• OS for non-inferiority, measured from date of randomization until death due to any cause, for all randomized patients. Patients who are alive at the time of the analysis will be censored for survival at the date of the last contact. • OS for superiority, measured from date of randomization until death due to any cause, for all randomized patients. Patients who are alive at the time of the analysis will be censored for survival at the date of the last contact. • TTP, defined as duration of time from date of first dose of study treatment to date of PD or death due to disease progression, per RECIST v. 1.1. Patients who remain progression free (whether they withdrew from the study or reached their maximum follow-up) will be censored at the date of their last disease assessment.
