    What is XPOVIO?


    XPOVIO® (selinexor) is a prescription medicine used:

    • in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) to treat adult
      patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior
      therapy.

    Your healthcare provider will do blood tests before you start taking XPOVIO, and often during the first 3 months of treatment, and then as needed during treatment.

    XPOVIO can cause serious side effects, including:

    • Low platelet counts. Low platelet counts are common with XPOVIO and can lead to bleeding, which can be severe and can sometimes cause death.
