– The Trial Did Not Meet the Primary Endpoint of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) – – A Trend Favoring the Selinexor Arm was Observed with a 5.3 Month Improvement in Median PFS Relative to the Placebo Arm in the mITT Population; Company Plans to Continue to Follow Patients for Longer-Term Outcomes – – The Safety and Tolerability Profile was Consistent with the Known Profile of Selinexor; No New Safety Signals Were Observed – – Company Prioritizing its Resources on its Myelofibrosis and Multiple Myeloma Programs; Company to Reduce Planned Investment in Endometrial Cancer – NEWTON, Mass., July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: KPTI), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering novel cancer therapies, today announced topline results from its Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy compared to placebo in adult patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of progression free survival. A trend favoring the selinexor arm was observed in the modified intent to treat (mITT) population (n=236), with a median PFS of 12.75 months in the selinexor arm compared to 7.43 months in the placebo arm (hazard ratio=0.76 [95% CI: 0.51, 1.12]; one-sided p-value=0.0791). The safety and tolerability profile of selinexor was consistent with its established safety profile, with no new safety signals observed. Karyopharm intends to complete a full evaluation of the data from the XPORT-EC-042 trial and plans to present the data at a future medical meeting. The results of the XPORT-EC-042 trial do not affect ongoing trials of selinexor in other potential indications. "These results are meaningful for a patient population lacking effective maintenance therapies that can delay disease progression," said Professor Ignace Vergote, MD, gynecologic oncologist at the Catholic University Leuven in Belgium, European Network for Gynaecological Oncological Trial groups (ENGOT) and global lead principal investigator. "The trend for a longer progression-free survival observed in the mITT population of the selinexor arm continues to highlight the potential of XPO1 inhibition in patients with TP53 wild-type/pMMR endometrial cancer." "Delaying the progression of cancer by five months at the median is a meaningful and encouraging outcome," said Dr. Robert Coleman, M.D., FACOG, FACS, of Texas Oncology and the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) and lead principal investigator in the United States. "Although I am disappointed that the PFS improvement was not statistically significant, I look forward to continuing to follow these results over time and presenting the data from this important trial at an upcoming medical meeting. This patient population who have TP53 wild-type/pMMR advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer remains in need of new treatment options." "While disappointed by these unexpected results, we believe they advance the scientific understanding of XPO1 inhibition for tens of thousands of endometrial cancer patients worldwide. We are deeply committed to further investigating these data," said Reshma Rangwala, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research at Karyopharm. "I would like to thank all of the patients, their families and the clinical trial investigators and their staff, as well as ENGOT and GOG, for participating in this trial." "While the results we are announcing today fell short of our expectations, they do not diminish our confidence in the broader potential of selinexor and benefit of XPO1 inhibition," said Richard Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Karyopharm. "We remain focused on maximizing our opportunity in myelofibrosis and continuing to build on our profitable multiple myeloma business. Looking ahead, we expect several important milestones in our myelofibrosis program over the next year, including the submission of our sNDA, the potential addition of selinexor to relevant compendia guidelines and topline data from the 60 mg cohort of the Phase 2 SENTRY-2 trial, each anticipated in the second half of 2026." About the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 Trial EC-042 (XPORT-EC-042; ENGOT-EN20; GOG-3083; NCT05611931) is a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy following chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (N=257). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either a 60 mg, once-weekly, administration of oral selinexor or placebo until disease progression. The trial includes two patient populations, for which the primary endpoint of progression free survival was tested sequentially: 1) a modified intent to treat population (mITT) that includes patients with either, a) TP53 wild-type tumors with proficient mismatch repair status (pMMR); or, b) TP53 wild-type tumors with deficient mismatch repair status (dMMR), who are medically ineligible to receive checkpoint inhibitors; and, 2) the trial's original intent to treat (ITT) population, which includes all patients enrolled in the trial whose tumors are TP53 wild-type, regardless of MMR status. Overall survival is a key secondary endpoint. The mITT population enrolled 236 patients. As of the data cut-off, 106 progression free survival events as assessed by the investigator had been observed in the mITT population. In connection with the EC-042 trial, Karyopharm entered into a global collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc. to develop FoundationOne®CDx, a tissue-based comprehensive genomic profiling test to identify and enroll patients whose tumors are TP53 wild-type. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial groups (ENGOT) and the GOG Foundation, Inc. About Endometrial Cancer Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S.1 In 2026, approximately 68,000 uterine cancers (predominantly endometrial) are expected to be diagnosed, with approximately 14,000 deaths.1 Worldwide there were about 420,368 cases with 97,723 deaths in 2022.2 Both incidence and mortality have continued to rise.3,4 Key risk factors include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high-fat diets, tamoxifen or oral estrogen use, and delayed menopause.5 TP53 is a well-recognized prognostic marker for EC; >50% of advanced or recurrent EC tumors are TP53wt (gene for tumor protein P53; wild-type), and ~40%-55% are both TP53wt and mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR).6-8 While immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown benefit in patients with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) and pMMR, the magnitude of benefit is greater for patients with dMMR tumors versus pMMR tumors.9-10 There remains an unmet need for targeted therapies for patients with pMMR EC.11 About XPOVIO® (selinexor) XPOVIO is a first-in-class, oral exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor compound for the treatment of cancer.

Investigational MonumenTAL-6 trial is the first and only Phase 3 study of a dual antigen, BCMA and GPRC5D targeting regimen in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma Fifth positive Phase 3 study evaluating Johnson & Johnson's multiple myeloma T-cell therapy portfolio in second line, further strengthening the company's leadership and commitment to advancing immunotherapy-based regimens earlier in the treatment journey RARITAN, N.J. , July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), a worldwide leader in multiple myeloma therapies, today announced positive topline results from the three-arm investigational Phase 3 MonumenTAL-6 study evaluating TECVAYLI ® (teclistamab-cqyv) + TALVEY ® (talquetamab-tgvs), a BCMA and GPRC5D dual antigen targeting regimen, and TALVEY ® + pomalidomide in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received 1 to 4 prior lines of therapy, including an anti-CD38 antibody and lenalidomide. 1 The study demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival for both investigational arms compared with investigator's choice standard of care. TECVAYLI ® + TALVEY ® delivered the greatest benefit, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 89% (HR, 0.11) and the risk of death by 62% (HR, 0.38). 1 This represents the lowest hazard ratio seen across any Phase 3 study evaluating bispecific therapies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. 1 Expert and company perspectives reinforce the potential of TECVAYLI ® + TALVEY ® "These findings add to a growing body of Phase 3 evidence evaluating the survival outcomes associated with the early use of immunotherapy doublets in the treatment journey," said Ajay K. Nooka, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P., Director, Myeloma Program, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology , Emory University School of Medicine.* "TECVAYLI and TALVEY together generated deep and durable responses, demonstrating what's possible by targeting BCMA and GPRC5D at the same time, and further reinforcing the potential of this off-the-shelf regimen to improve outcomes for patients across practice settings." "At Johnson & Johnson, we have intentionally built a multiple myeloma portfolio that spans biological targets, mechanisms, modalities and lines of therapy, giving physicians the flexibility to use our therapies across a diverse patient population and throughout the patient journey," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "These findings further reinforce immunotherapy as a cornerstone of multiple myeloma care and strengthen the growing body of evidence supporting our leadership in this space. By continuing to expand treatment options across the disease continuum, we are moving closer to our ambition of one day curing this disease." ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(131); }); Topline results from the Phase 3 MonumenTAL-6 study The MonumenTAL-6 study evaluated TECVAYLI ® in combination with TALVEY ® (Tec-Tal) or TALVEY ® with pomalidomide (Tal-P) compared to the investigator's choice of either elotuzumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (EPd) or pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (PVd) in participants with RRMM who have received at least one line of therapy, including an anti-CD38 antibody and lenalidomide. 1 Both the Tec-Tal and Tal-P regimens met the study's primary endpoint of PFS, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus standard of care. 1 Risk of progression or death was reduced in the Tec-Tal arm by 89% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.16; p400 mg/dL. Neutropenia - TECVAYLI can cause neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. In patients who received TECVAYLI at the recommended dosage in the clinical trials (monotherapy and combination therapy trials; N=448), decreased neutrophils occurred in 88% of patients, with Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophils in 70%. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients. Monitor complete blood cell counts at baseline and periodically during treatment and provide supportive care per local institutional guidelines. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Withhold TECVAYLI based on severity. Hypersensitivity and Other Administration Reactions - TECVAYLI can cause both systemic administration-related and local injection-site reactions.

TALVEY ® IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INDICATION AND USAGE TALVEY ® (talquetamab-tgvs) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME and NEUROLOGIC TOXICITY, including IMMUNE EFFECTOR CELL-ASSOCIATED NEUROTOXICITY SYNDROME Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including life-threatening or fatal reactions, can occur in patients receiving TALVEY ® . Initiate TALVEY ® treatment with step-up dosing to reduce the risk of CRS. Withhold TALVEY ® until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity. Neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and serious and life-threatening or fatal reactions, can occur with TALVEY ® . Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity including ICANS during treatment and treat promptly. Withhold or permanently discontinue TALVEY ® based on severity. Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, TALVEY ® is available only through a restricted program called the TECVAYLI ® and TALVEY ® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). CONTRAINDICATIONS: None. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS): TALVEY ® can cause cytokine release syndrome, including life-threatening or fatal reactions. In the clinical trial, CRS occurred in 76% of patients who received TALVEY ® at the recommended dosages, with Grade 1 CRS occurring in 57% of patients, Grade 2 in 17%, and Grade 3 in 1.5%. Recurrent CRS occurred in 30% of patients. Most events occurred following step-up dose 1 (29%) or step-up dose 2 (44%) at the recommended dosages. CRS occurred in 33% of patients with step-up dose 3 in the biweekly dosing schedule (N=153). CRS occurred in 30% of patients with the first 0.4 mg/kg treatment dose and in 12% of patients treated with the first 0.8 mg/kg treatment dose. The CRS rate for both dosing schedules combined was less than 3% for each of the remaining doses in Cycle 1 and less than 3% cumulatively from Cycle 2 onward. The median time to onset of CRS was 27 (range: 0.1 to 167) hours from the last dose, and the median duration was 17 (range: 0 to 622) hours. Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS include but are not limited to pyrexia, hypotension, chills, hypoxia, headache, and tachycardia. Potentially life-threatening complications of CRS may include cardiac dysfunction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, neurologic toxicity, renal and/or hepatic failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Initiate therapy with step-up dosing and administer pre-treatment medications (corticosteroids, antihistamine, and antipyretics) prior to each dose of TALVEY ® in the step-up dosing schedule to reduce the risk of CRS. Monitor patients following administration accordingly. In patients who experience CRS, pre-treatment medications should be administered prior to the next TALVEY ® dose. Counsel patients to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur. At the first sign of CRS, immediately evaluate patient for hospitalization and institute treatment with supportive care based on severity, and consider further management per current practice guidelines. Withhold TALVEY ® until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity. Neurologic Toxicity including ICANS: TALVEY ® can cause serious, life-threatening neurologic toxicity or fatal neurologic toxicity, including ICANS. In the clinical trial, neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, occurred in 55% of patients who received the recommended dosages, with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity occurring in 6% of patients. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were headache (20%), encephalopathy (15%), sensory neuropathy (14%), and motor dysfunction, including ataxia/cerebellar ataxia (10%). ICANS was reported in 9% of 265 patients where ICANS was collected and who received the recommended dosages. Recurrent ICANS occurred in 3% of patients. Most patients experienced ICANS following step-up dose 1 (3%), step-up dose 2 (3%), step-up dose 3 of the biweekly dosing schedule (1.8%), or the initial treatment dose of the weekly dosing schedule (2.6%) (N=156) or the biweekly dosing schedule (3.7%) (N=109). The median time to onset of ICANS was 2.5 (range: 1 to 16) days after the most recent dose with a median duration of 2 (range: 1 to 22) days. The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Clinical signs and symptoms of ICANS may include but are not limited to confusional state, depressed level of consciousness, disorientation, somnolence, lethargy, and bradyphrenia. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity during treatment and treat promptly. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, immediately evaluate the patient and provide supportive care based on severity. Withhold or permanently discontinue TALVEY ® based on severity and consider further management per current practice guidelines [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity, patients receiving TALVEY ® are at risk of depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery during the step-up dosing schedule and for 48 hours after completion of the step-up dosing schedule, and in the event of new onset of any neurological symptoms, until symptoms resolve. TECVAYLI ® and TALVEY ® REMS: TALVEY ® is available only through a restricted program under a REMS, called the TECVAYLI ® and TALVEY ® REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS.
