A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Multiple Myeloma XPOVIO in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (XVd) The safety of XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone was evaluated in BOSTON [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. Patients were randomized to receive XPOVIO 100 mg orally once weekly in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) (n=195) or bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) (n=204).
Among patients who received XPOVIO, the median duration of XPOVIO treatment was 29 weeks (range: 1 to 120 weeks) and the median dose was 80 mg (range: 30 to 137 mg) per week. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 52% of patients who received XPOVIO in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Serious adverse reactions in >3% of patients included pneumonia (14%), sepsis, diarrhea and vomiting (4% each).
Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 6% of patients within 30 days of last treatment, including pneumonia (n=3) and sepsis (n=3). Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, a pre-specified key secondary endpoint, was lower in the XVd arm (21%) compared to the Vd arm (34%); odds ratio 0.50 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.79].

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed ( 8.2 ).
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of selinexor to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at exposures that were below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose (see Data ) .
Advise pregnant women of the risks to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal data In an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, daily oral administration of selinexor at 0, 0.25, 0.75, or 2 mg/kg throughout organogenesis caused incomplete or delayed ossification, skeletal variations, and reduced fetal weight compared with controls at a dose of 0.75 mg/kg (approximately 0.08-fold of human area under the curve [AUC] at the recommended dose).
Malformations were observed at 2 mg/kg, including microphthalmia, fetal edema, malpositioned kidney, and persistent truncus arteriosus.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of selinexor or its metabolites in human milk, or their effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential XPOVIO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating XPOVIO [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose.
Males Advise males with a female partner of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with XPOVIO and for 1 week after the last dose.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action In nonclinical studies, selinexor reversibly inhibits nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs), growth regulators, and mRNAs of oncogenic proteins by blocking exportin 1 (XPO1). XPO1 inhibition by selinexor leads to accumulation of TSPs in the nucleus and reductions in several oncoproteins, such as c-myc and cyclin D1, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis of cancer cells. Selinexor demonstrated pro-apoptotic activity in vitro in multiple myeloma cells and showed anti-tumor activity in murine xenograft models of multiple myeloma.
The combination of selinexor and dexamethasone or bortezomib demonstrated synergistic cytotoxic effects in multiple myeloma in vitro and increased anti-tumor activity in murine xenograft multiple myeloma models in vivo, including those resistant to proteasome inhibitors.
12.2Pharmacodynamics An increase in selinexor exposure was associated with an increase in the probability of dose modification and some adverse reactions. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of multiple doses of XPOVIO, up to 175 mg per dose (1.75 times the maximum approved recommended dose), on the QTc interval was evaluated in patients with heavily pretreated hematologic malignancies. XPOVIO had no large effect (i.e. no greater than 20 ms) on QTc interval at the therapeutic dose level.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Selinexor C max and AUC increased proportionally over a dose range from 3 mg/m 2 to 85 mg/m 2 (0.05 to 1.44) times the maximum approved recommended dose, based on 1.7 m 2 body surface area. No clinically relevant accumulation at steady state was observed. Selinexor C max and AUC 0-INF after administration of a single dose of XPOVIO in patients with hematologic malignancies are presented in Table 9 .
Table 9: Selinexor C max and AUC After Administration of a Single Dose of XPOVIO Mean (SD) XPOVIO Dose 60 mg 80 mg 100 mg C max (ng/mL) 442 (188) 680 (124) 693 (201) AUC 0-INF (ng·h/mL) 4,096 (1,185) 5,386 (1,116) 6,998 (818) Absorption The C max is reached within 4 hours following oral administration of XPOVIO. Effect of Food Concomitant administration of a high-fat meal (800 to 1,000 calories with approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal from fat) did not affect the pharmacokinetics of selinexor to a clinically significant extent.
Distribution The apparent volume of distribution of selinexor is 133 L in patients with cancer. The protein binding of selinexor is 95%. Elimination Following a single dose of XPOVIO, the mean half-life is 6 to 8 hours.
The apparent total clearance of selinexor is
18.6L/h in patients with cancer. Metabolism Selinexor is metabolized by CYP3A4, multiple UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selinexor were observed based on age (18 to 94 years old), sex, body weight (36 to 168 kg), ethnicity, mild to severe renal impairment (CL CR : 15 to 89 mL/min, estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation), and disease type (hematological, solid tumor).
The effect of end-stage renal disease (CL CR <15 mL/min) or hemodialysis on selinexor pharmacokinetics is unknown. Patients with Hepatic Impairment In patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤1x ULN and AST >1x ULN, or total bilirubin >1 to 1.5x ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3x ULN and any AST, n=7) hepatic impairment the pharmacokinetics of selinexor was comparable to patients with normal hepatic function (total bilirubin and AST <ULN). In patients with severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >3 ULN and any AST, n=6) there was approximately 32% increase in total and free selinexor exposure compared to patients with normal hepatic function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] .
