Pharmacology
Xgeva is a RANKL inhibitor; it binds to RANKL, a protein essential for osteoclast formation, function, and survival, thereby preventing osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and modulating calcium release from bone in solid tumor bone metastases, multiple myeloma, giant cell tumor of bone, and hypercalcemia of malignancy.
Selinexor reversibly inhibits exportin 1 (XPO1), blocking nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins and oncogenic mRNAs, causing nuclear accumulation of tumor suppressors, downregulation of oncoproteins such as c-myc and cyclin D1, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis of cancer cells.
