First Quarter 2026 and Recent Company Highlights
XPOVIO Commercial Performance
U.S. net product revenue was$29.2 million for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2026 compared to$21.1 million for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2025 .
- Demand for XPOVIO was lower in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, due to new competitive entrants. The community setting continued to represent approximately 60% of net product revenue.
- Expanded global patient access for selinexor is translating into growth in royalty revenue from Menarini, Antengene and other international partners. Royalty revenue increased to
$1.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to$1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, with selinexor now approved in more than 50 ex-U.S. countries and territories.
Research and Development (R&D) Highlights
Myelofibrosis
- Results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial in myelofibrosis were accepted for a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
- Reported topline results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial, a randomized, double-blind trial evaluating 60 mg selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib in frontline myelofibrosis compared to ruxolitinib alone (n=353). The trial met the first co-primary endpoint of spleen volume reduction of 35% or more (SVR35) at week 24 and also demonstrated rapid, deep and sustained improvement in this endpoint over time. The trial did not meet its second co-primary endpoint of mean change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) at week 24 relative to baseline. Similar symptom improvement from baseline was observed in patients who received the combination of selinexor plus ruxolitinib compared to ruxolitinib alone. Importantly, a promising overall survival signal was also observed, which further reinforces the relevance of XPO1 inhibition in combination with ruxolitinib in frontline myelofibrosis. The combination of selinexor and ruxolitinib demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile consistent with the known profile of each agent individually with no new safety signals observed.
- Completed enrollment of the 60 mg cohort (n=29) of the Phase 2 SENTRY-2 trial (NCT05980806) and began enrolling patients into the 40 mg cohort.
Endometrial Cancer
- Completed enrollment of the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial (NCT05611931), which is evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy following systemic therapy versus placebo in patients with TP53 wild-type advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Approximately 220 patients enrolled in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population and 257 enrolled in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Enrollment in the mITT population was focused on patients with either proficient mismatch repair status (pMMR) tumors or patients with deficient mismatch repair status (dMMR) tumors who are medically ineligible for checkpoint inhibitors.
Multiple Myeloma
- Patients enrolled in the Phase 3 XPORT-MM-031 trial (EMN29; NCT05028348) continued to be followed for progression-free survival events contributing towards the primary endpoint. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the European Myeloma Network and is evaluating the all-oral combination of selinexor 40 mg, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (SPd40) in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma who received an anti-CD38 as their immediate prior line of therapy.
Anticipated Catalysts and Operational Objectives
Myelofibrosis
- Present results from the Phase 3 SENTRY trial in myelofibrosis at ASCO as a late-breaking oral presentation on
June 2 at9:45 a.m. Central Time during the "Hematologic Malignancies—Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, and Allotransplant" oral abstract session. The Company expects that its abstract titled "Selinexor plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor–naïve myelofibrosis: Phase 3 SENTRY trial" (abstract number LBA6500) will be available on ASCO's website onJune 2 at approximately8:00 a.m. Eastern Time /7:00 a.m. Central Time . A copy of the SENTRY presentation will be available following its presentation at ASCO under "Publications and Presentations" in the Investors & Media section of the Company's website.
- Engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the data from the SENTRY trial and the Company's supplemental new drug application (sNDA) filing plan; engage with other global regulatory agencies in collaboration with the Company's partners.
- The Company believes the potential inclusion of the combination in relevant compendia could occur in the second half of 2026.
- Announce topline data from all patients in the 60 mg cohort of the Phase 2 SENTRY-2 trial with at least 24 weeks of follow-up, expected in the second half of 2026.
Endometrial Cancer
- Announce topline data from the event-driven, Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 trial, expected in mid-2026.
Multiple Myeloma
- Maintain the Company's commercial foundation in the increasingly competitive multiple myeloma marketplace and drive increased XPOVIO revenues.
- Support global launches by our partners following regulatory and reimbursement approvals for selinexor in ex-
U.S. countries and territories.
- Announce topline data from the event-driven, Phase 3 XPORT-MM-031 (EMN29) trial, expected in the second half of 2026.
2026 Financial Outlook
Based on its current operating plans, Karyopharm expects the following for full year 2026:
- Total revenue to be in the range of
$130 million to$150 million . Total revenue consists ofU.S. XPOVIO net product revenue and license, royalty and milestone revenue earned from partners.
U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue to be in the range of$115 million to$130 million .
- R&D and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to be in the range of
$230 million to$245 million .
- The Company expects its existing liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, as well as cash flow from net product revenue and license and other revenue, will enable it to fund its current operating plans into late in the third quarter of 2026.

About the Phase 3 SENTRY Trial
SENTRY (XPORT-MF-034; NCT04562389) is a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a once-weekly dose of 60 mg of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib compared to placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAKi-naïve myelofibrosis patients with platelet counts >100 x 109/L (N=353). Patients were randomized 2-to-1 to the selinexor arm. The co-primary endpoints for this trial are spleen volume reduction ≥ 35% (SVR35) at week 24 and the average change in absolute total symptom score (Abs-TSS) over 24 weeks relative to baseline.

About the Phase 3 XPORT-EC-042 Trial
EC-042 (XPORT-EC-042; NCT05611931) is a global, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind clinical trial evaluating selinexor as a maintenance-only therapy following systemic therapy 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 will be 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. The key secondary endpoint of overall survival will be evaluated in the ITT population. The mITT population is expected to include approximately 220 patients. 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.
