Moving forward, XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is expected to extend public health insurance coverage across APAC markets.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy caused by the dysregulated proliferation of plasma cells. According to epidemiology data, MM is the second most prevalent hematologic malignancy in <span class=\"xn-location\">Taiwan<\/span> market, accounting for approximately 700 to 800 newly diagnosed cases and around 400 relevant deaths each year.<sup>[1]<\/sup> Most patients with MM have to face a range of challenges in treatment, including high propensity to relapse, short period of survival, and limited treatment options. The inclusion of XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> for reimbursement coverage in <span class=\"xn-location\">Taiwan<\/span> market, will further reduce the financial burden on many patients, benefiting more patients and their families.<\/p>\n<p>While bringing XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to more APAC markets, Antengene is also striving to expand the indications of XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. Leveraging the drug&#8217;s novel mechanism of action, XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is currently being developed with multiple combination regimens for the treatment of various additional indications including myelofibrosis (MF) and endometrial cancer.<\/p>\n<p><b>About XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> (selinexor)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is the world&#8217;s first approved orally-available, selective inhibitor of the nuclear export protein XPO1.\u00a0<b>It offers a novel mechanism of action, synergistic effects in combination regimens, fast onset of action, and durable responses.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>By blocking the nuclear export protein XPO1, XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can promote the intranuclear accumulation and activation of tumor suppressor proteins and growth regulating proteins, and down-regulate the levels of multiple oncogenic proteins. XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> delivers its antitumor effects through three mechanistic pathways: 1) exerting antitumor effects by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins; 2) reducing the level of oncogenic proteins in the cytoplasm by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of oncogenic mRNAs; 3) restoring hormone sensitivity by activating the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) pathway. To utilize its unique mechanism of actions, XPOVIO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is being evaluated for use in multiple combination regimens in a range of indications.
