Selinexor
- ... that selinexor is the first anti-cancer drug to work by inhibiting exportin 1? Source: "Selinexor (KPT-330) is the first-in-human SINE compound" [1]
- ALT1:... that selinexor is the first drug for multiple myeloma which has returned or persisted despite five previous treatments? "Selinexor is the first FDA-approved medication for this indication." [2]
- ALT2:... that by approving selinexor, the FDA overruled its own panel of independent experts, which had voted 8–5 against the anti-cancer drug? [3]
- Reviewed: Paracoccidioides lutzii
- Comment: I'm aware this may be of limited interest to the general reader. However, this is a pretty interesting drug for a common cancer, with a unique mechanism of action and a unique indication, which has just been approved (quite controversially) by the U.S. FDA. The article is sourced entirely from free, open-access secondary and tertiary WP:MEDRS and I have tried to make it as legible as possible considering the technical subject matter. I've only ever proposed two DYKs before and haven't done so in years, so apologies if I got the process wrong.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts of all three hooks are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
